Positioned within secluded glorious gardens a mere stones throw from the waters edge, is this exceptionally well maintained, generously proportioned four bedroom residence which enjoys beautiful views over Restronguet Creek and the waters of The Carrick Roads.
Description | As the name would suggest Tranquility enjoys a very peaceful setting within one of South Cornwall's most coveted creekside hamlets - a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty away from the hustle and bustle often associated with Cornwall in the hectic summer months. Set amidst surprisingly generous, lightly wooded, landscaped gardens it also boasts a small spring-fed ornamental pond and a delightful gazebo.
|
. | Set back by a gated entrance from the passing lane that leads down to the water some fifty metres away, a driveway leads across the neighbour's property and through a further gated entrance into the grounds of Tranquility. With a large gravelled area which wraps around two sides of the house there is plenty of parking for several vehicles in addition to the twin integral garages. Immediately beyond the parking areas is a botanists dream of beautifully stocked colourful borders and well tended lawns. The little brook flows through a lower 'natural garden'. There are also several small fruit trees - apples, pears, plums and damsons. The little gazebo offers welcome shade on hot days whilst the large balcony is an ideal spot for alfresco dining whilst enjoying the beautiful creek views. The gardens are bordered either by mature trees or open fields.
|
. | Internally the accommodation is arranged over three floors with the lower ground floor simply consisting of an entrance hallway, the double integral garage and a utility room. Rising from the entrance hallway to the upper ground floor one is immediately greeted by a vast 31' drawing room with enormous picture windows to three aspects and sliding doors opening out on to a large recently refitted balcony to the East. The views from both the drawing room and the balcony are magnificent and will appeal especially to the sailing enthusiasts. To the rear of the drawing room there is a well appointed 20' galley kitchen from which the creek can still be seen and which gives access to the exterior, together with a further passageway leading to two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a study-come-fourth bedroom, a large understairs cupboard, a very big heated airing cupboard and the stair rising to the first floor.
|
. | To the first floor, one is greeted by a light and airy 21' by 11' landing which is used as a second reception room. This area, with windows towards the water and three large 'Velux' windows overhead could easily be converted into a further bedroom - perhaps with en-suite facilities, whilst still leaving a good landing area with room for a small home office. The landing also offers two additional storage cupboards and access into further storage in the eaves. From this second reception room a door opens through into the master suite which features a huge 21' by 13' bedroom with four large 'Velux' windows overhead, a considerable amount of built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
|
. | To summarise, Tranquility offers a generous and exceptionally well maintained residence, set within stunning grounds, in an utterly private position overlooking what is surely one of Cornwall's most enviable locations.
|
