Penhallow, Truro, Cornwall, TR4

Occupying a simply beautiful location halfway between Perranporth and St. Agnes, with privacy and peace in abundance, this spacious family home of considerable size, style and quality, is set within an overall plot of some five acres. The plot includes a lovely mixture of pasture land, woodland, gardens and wildlife areas along with separate outbuildings including stables. A large extension has transformed this property creating modern living spaces while retaining the character of the original farmhouse. The open plan kitchen / dining room is light and bright with dual aspect south and west facing windows and doors. The modern kitchen has a range of wall and bass mounted cabinetry with a large island with breakfast bar creating plenty of worktop space. There is a triple oven range with extractor over, dishwasher and a free standing, American style fridge/freezer. This room is ideal for a family with plenty of dining and social space. To the rear of the kitchen is a large utility room with built-in cabinets and a door leading out to the patio at the side of the house. The sitting room takes up the full length of the original farmhouse and is separated from the kitchen by an old double fronted stone fireplace. Oak floors, thick walls with deep window reveals and a wood burning stove set within a stone fireplace create a comfortable and cosy space to relax. To the rear of the house is a good sized double bedroom with a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room which can also be accessed from the utility room. This is an ideal guest bedroom or could be used for anyone with mobility concerns. Upstairs there are three further double bedrooms. The two in the original farmhouse are forward (south) facing and share the family bathroom. A smaller rear room has been converted into an office and provides access via a galleried hall into the master suite. This large master bedroom is dual aspect and has a high vaulted ceiling and a Juliet balcony from which there are views over the paddocks. The contemporary en-suite shower room is of a good size. This is a very attractive family home with plenty of space and offering a good mix of the character of a farmhouse with modern features such as a large bright kitchen and spacious master bedroom. Outside, there is a long drive with ample parking. To the front of the house is a private lawned garden which is bisected by a stream. To the side of the house is a good sized patio area off the kitchen, ideal for al-fresco dining. The outbuildings consist of a large barn which is divided in two and provides plenty of storage or workshop space. At one end of the barn is an office space or snug. A timber stable block opposite the barn create a yard between the two buildings. There are three stables and a tack room. The paddocks are to the rear of the property and measure approximately 3.25acres. There is an additional 1/3 of an acre of woodland. The paddocks are easily accessible from the yard having a private drive leading around the eastern boundary with its own access from the lane. The whole site is well screened from the road ensuring privacy and security.
