GENERAL COMMENTS

Primrose Farmhouse presents an exciting opportunity to purchase a completely renovated and refurbished Cornish cottage which is situated in an elevated position on the edge of Chacewater, convenient for Truro, Redruth and the A30. The property has light and spacious rooms and is larger than one might expect from a once humble pair of cottages with approximately 2320 Sq. feet of accommodation. Situated in an elevated location enjoying views over the surrounding countryside and set on the edge of Chacewater, the position is superb. The extensive programme of renovation has taken place by the current owner since purchased in late 2020. The standard of finish is of high quality and this is basically a new house having been practically rebuilt from the stone walls and now includes air source heating. Any new owner could move straight as Primrose is offered for sale with no chain and vacant possession. In all the property has four, good sized bedrooms the master with an en-suite and a wonderful balcony which overlooks the gardens and the fields beyond. There is ample parking as well as the integral double garage, a rarity for a property such as this.

LOCAL HISTORY

Wheal Busy, sometimes called Great Wheal Busy and in its early years known as Chacewater Mine. During the 18th century the mine produced enormous amounts of copper ore and was very wealthy, but from the later 19th century onwards was not profitable. There were probably mine workings in the area of Wheal Busy since the 16th century, but it was not until the 1720s that the mine started to produce large amounts of copper ore. The mine was located in what was known at the time as the richest square mile on Earth . During its life it produced over 100,000 tons of copper ore.
