Description:
For sale for the first time in 36 years, one of very, very few opportunities to purchase a beautifully situated detached house, approximately 300 years old in part, providing charming and highly versatile 5-bedroomed accommodation, tastefully updated and attractively presented throughout, set at the end of a long driveway, amidst picturesque gardens and grounds of approximately 5 acres, surrounded by rolling countryside and unspoilt natural woodland, yet within a few minutes drive of the cathedral city of Truro.
THE PROPERTY
Believed to date back, in part, approximately 300 years, 'Bolotho' has been in our client's ownership for 36 years, during which time the property has been extended and substantially improved.
On the edge of the Killiow Estate and with only one neighbouring property, 'Bolotho' occupies an exceptional, 'hidden' situation, surrounded by rolling countryside and unspoilt natural woodland. The property's own gardens and grounds extend to approximately five acres and include beautifully stocked, sheltered and highly private formal gardens, together with two level and well enclosed paddocks, with 'resident' horse included in the sale if required.
Throughout, the centrally heated accommodation is full of charm and character with highly versatile entertaining and reception rooms including a 24' wide snug and dining room, formal drawing room, family sized kitchen/breakfast room opening onto the gardens and versatile playroom/sitting room. Five first floor bedrooms are equally well proportioned, all benefit from fitted wardrobes and are served by a most attractively reappointed family bath and shower room by Smallbone of Devizes, in addition to which there is a ground floor cloaks and shower room.
Outside, there is masses of forecourt parking, together with triple open-fronted garaging. In all, one of the area's finest, and most cherished, family homes. An early viewing appointment is strongly recommended.
THE LOCATION
With the continued growth of the cathedral city of Truro, demand for substantial homes in nearby, unspoilt settings grows ever stronger, and the availability of 'Bolotho' provides purchasers with a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to acquire a home in idyllic surroundings, yet within just a few minutes drive of Truro's excellent shops, schools, public transport facilities, hospital, courts and administrative offices. Newquay Airport is an approximate 40 minute drive away, Falmouth is within approximately 15 minutes.
The county's rugged north Cornish coastline and sandy surfing beaches are an approximate 20 minute drive away, as are the beautiful day-sailing waters of the Fal Estuary with its tree-lined tributaries, numerous sailing clubs, excellent water sports facilities at Loe Beach (Feock) and Mylor Harbour, together with the booming port of Falmouth which offers a fine range of restaurants, quayside bars, sub tropical gardens, bathing beaches, coastal walks and rapidly expanding university campus at Tremough. 'Bolotho' benefits from much peace and tranquility but is perfectly situated for all these 'surrounding' amenities.
