5 bedroom house

A superb detached five bedroomed Victorian farmhouse in a stunning coastal location on the south west coast of Cornwall with equestrian facilities.


Description

The Property is an impressive Victorian detached country residence built we believe in the mid-19th century. It is set in a quiet rural location off a private lane with countryside views towards the sea on the horizon.

The property has been beautifully restored and refurbished to an exacting standard providing flexible accommodation on the ground floor and five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The property has retained many of its original features along with some modern additions such as double glazing throughout and oak flooring in several of the reception rooms and log burners in the kitchen and most of the reception areas.
Originally the main entrance to the house would have been at the rear but is currently accessed from the front via the lobby/boot room that leads on through to the large farmhouse kitchen/dining room, off which is the utility room, prep kitchen, office, conservatory and family sitting room with woodburning stove. The farmhouse kitchen/dining room is a really lovely room with an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, a good range of oak kitchen units with electric Rangemaster cooker, two-drawer dishwasher and granite work tops. The utility room has space for washing machine and tumble dryer and the prep kitchen has matching oak units, space for American fridge/freezer, single oven and 4 ring hob. The family sitting room leads through to the spacious central hall with original Victorian tiled floor and elegant turned staircase with half landing and picture window that brings in plenty of natural light. Off this central hall is also the triple aspect reception room, the second sitting room/snug with woodburning stove and the second study/office also with wood burning stove and WC. The triple aspect reception is a particularly impressive room that runs the width of the house with sun all day and French doors out to the sun terrace and garden beyond.
On the first floor the turned staircase opens out on to a light and spacious landing off which is access to all bedrooms and bathrooms. The two principal bedrooms are at the rear of the property, overlooking the gardens, the larger of which has a good range of built-in wardrobes and the second is twin aspect with distant sea views. The three remaining double bedrooms are all of a good size and both bathrooms have been beautifully designed and fitted with free standing baths, separate rainfall showers and underfloor heating. Off the landing is also an airing cupboard and loft access.

Exterior, gardens and outbuildings

The property sits back from the small private lane with Cornish stone walling to the front and an area of lawn to either side of the drive that leads to the stone-built garage/barn that is connected to water and a path continues around the house to the rear terrace and side terrace. This side terrace is a good entertaining space as it is just off the kitchen and has a purpose-built BBQ/outside kitchen area. The majority of the rear garden is laid to lawn with mature hedging on three sides. There is a small copse of young trees to the front and a further border of planting to the side screening the stable block from the house, through which is a garden gate that leads to the stable block.

At the bottom of the rear garden is the log cabin. The cabin has been insulated and double glazed, with power and water connected. The internal layout is two separate areas with reception area to the front and at the rear a small kitchenette with space for dining table and separate wc.
The stone-built garage barn is a lovely old building with pitched roof, wooden sliding doors for vehicular access, a further door access, power and light.

The stable block and paddocks

The equestrian area has a separate access to that of the farmhouse itself with concrete hard standing that leads to the stable block, paddocks and all-weather menage. The stable is block built and timber clad with four good sized loose boxes, a tack room and hay store. The all-weather menage with silica sand, rubber and fibre surface is approximately 60m x 20m and the paddocks (approximately 6 acres) are currently sub-divided with wooden posts with electric wiring and individual self-filling water troughs.

Agent Notes:

- The stables, paddocks and menage are currently rented out on a grazing licence.

Location

The property is situated is in an elevated position above the South West coast path between Poldhu and Polurrian beach on the edge of the attractive village of Mullion on the Lizard.
The Lizard has its own historic character, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with great beaches, rolling landscapes, rugged cliffs and clear blue water with a multitude of watersports on offer.
Poldhu is less than a mile away (by foot) has a sandy beach and café, and to the south, just over a mile and a half away, is Mullion Cove one of the quaintest havens on the Heritage Coast. Further south is the famous Kynance Cove and to the north are the towns of Porthleven and Helston.
Mullion is the largest village on the Lizard with a good variety of shops, inns, cafes, restaurants, galleries and craft shops to meet every day needs with a more extensive range of shops and supermarkets in the market town of Helston. The village also has a junior and senior school, village hall, a regular bus service and golf club. The golf club is the most southerly in mainland Britain in a sensational setting above the cliffs between Poldhu and Church Cove.

The field adjacent to Angrouse Farmhouse is called Spring Field (Parc Venton) and has a commemorative stone in honour of John Wesley, who whilst staying at Angrouse Cottage, previously Angrouse Farmhouse, is reported as having preached on this site on 7th September 1762.
Communication links are good with the A394 providing access to the city of Truro and onwards along the A30 to Exeter and M5 motorway.
