A CLASSIC GEORGIAN MANOR HOUSE IN OVER ONE ACRE OF GROUNDS
LET DOWN TWICE - UNEXPECTEDLY RE-AVAILABLE
Stunning position in tranquil rural surroundings and with exceptional country views.
7 bedrooms inc master suite, family bathroom, additional shower room, drawing room, dining room, morning room, kitchen/breakfast room, second sitting room, utility, studio and cloakroom. Extensive cellarage. Many original period features including splendid turning staircase. Grade II listed.
Gardens and grounds extending to 1.3 acres. Possibility of some additional land by arrangement.
General Comments And Situation - Nansough Manor is set within a beautiful stretch of countryside approximately 7 miles to the north-east of Truro and just over a mile from the village of Ladock. It is a glorious position with the house facing south and having magnificent unobstructed views over a vast area of unspoiled wooded farmland.
The property stands completely on its own with only one near neighbour being the intended conversion of a former cottage and stable within the grounds which is being retained for the owners future retirement home.
The house is part of a former country estate and has been the home of the present owners for the past 37 years. It is now reluctantly for sale due to a decision to downsize and create a more manageable home. The manor house is being offered with just over one acre of gardens, grounds and woodland but should an applicant be looking for a larger plot some additional land could be available by arrangement.
The village of Ladock has a pub, primary school, parish church and combined post office and shop. It is a vibrant community that has not been over-developed and is notable for its picturesque valley setting. The cathedral city of Truro is just 7 miles away and here there is a fine shopping centre with restaurants, banks, galleries and a selection of both private and state schools. There are regular trains to London (Paddington) whilst Truro also hosts the county hospital at Treliske (9.3 miles from Nansough).
The location of Nansough is particularly good for access to the A30 where dual carriageway provides fast road access to the M5 at Exeter. Newquay Airport on the North Coast is also easily accessible and usually provides regular flights to London Gatwick and other destinations.
For the sailing enthusiast there are plenty of opportunities in the area and especially in the Fal estuary and indeed the property is almost equidistant of both south and north cornish coasts and hence many lovely beaches.
History - The Manor House is believed to have been constructed in 1792 when it was added to an ancient cottage which is on a site believed to date back as far as the Twelfth Century. There are even records of a licence being granted for a Chapel during the Thirteenth Century.
The main house was built by the Roberts family, long resident in Cornwall and was also the occasional home of the Earl of Cork. Reputedly the money for construction came from trading horses and brandy between Penzance and France.
Not surprisingly the house is Grade II listed.
The House - The house is a classic Georgian building with a handsome break-fronted granite facade featuring large triple section sash windows and an arched central doorway . It is a stunning period residence that has been carefully maintained by the owners over the years and whilst ideal as one large family home there is potential to split the accommodation to provide self-contained accommodation in the cottage at the rear.
The broad entrance hallway sets the scene for the house with its high ceiling, attractive cornice and decorative fanlight over the front door featuring intersecting curved glazing bars. This leads through to the staircase hall (a splendid centrepiece of the house) and to the main reception rooms which are beautifully proportioned and in turn provide access to the formal dining room (where there are french doors to an intriguing inner courtyard) and the kitchen/breakfast room complete with Aga.
From the inner hall a sweeping staircase rises to the first floor and the galleried landing. This in turn gives access to all the main bedrooms and the master bedroom having a large ensuite bath and shower room in addition to the family bathroom.
A connecting wing with cloakroom at the rear of the house leads through to the cottage and comprises a charming beamed sitting room complete with inglenook, kitchen/utility room, studio, 3 bedrooms and a shower room.
In the lobby to the rear of the staircase hall there is access via a flight of stone steps to the cellar which is a huge area below the main part of the house and ideal for storage.
There is oil fired central heating serving the whole of the house .
