GENERAL COMMENTS

An excellent and very rare opportunity to purchase a fully set up equestrian property with seven acres of land, full size sand school, four stables and outbuildings. The property adjoins a bridleway offering endless riding opportunities without having to go onto main roads. Silver Springs is a large detached period house located within Scarcewater, a tiny hamlet on the outskirts of Grampound Road with excellent road links to the A30, Truro, St Austell and both coasts. The property comprises a sizeable house that has been greatly improved during our clients ownership and is beautifully presented throughout with light and spacious rooms. The whole property has been transformed during their ownership into a superb equestrian property with the purchase of additional land and the construction of a full size dressage arena/sand school. This has separate access from a farm lane and ample space for a large horse lorry. The accommodation includes four double bedrooms, two have en suite shower rooms, four reception rooms, kitchen, utility, bathroom and sun room. There are fabulous far reaching rural views from the rear over the surrounding countryside. The kitchen has been replaced within the last year and all of the windows have replacement double glazing. The whole property is beautifully presented leaving nothing for the new owners to do. A driveway provides parking for four cars and there is a garage/workshop. The rear garden is enclosed, backs onto fields and enjoys a sunny aspect. There are four stables and tack room so perfect for equestrian use but together with the garage this building has potential for conversion into an annexe or possibly holiday lets subject to consent. The land is across a farm lane from the house and was purchased separately some years ago so is on a separate title. There is approximately seven acres in two enclosed paddocks including a small parcel of woodland in the far field. The sand school is in excellent condition and next to this is a further agricultural shed/hay barn. A viewing is essential.
