SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance lobby, reception hall, cloakroom, excellent kitchen, dining room, large lounge, sitting room/bedroom 5, conservatory, double bedroom en-suite. First Floor: landing, 3 further double bedrooms (2 with sea views), bath/shower room. Outside: walled and hedged frontage with gated driveway leading to an integral garage. Extremely beautiful mature level plantsman’s gardens to the front and rear with open lawn, extensive paved terraces, workshop, modern shed, greenhouse and vegetable garden. In all, about 0.2 of an acre. DESCRIPTION Offered for sale for the first time in 16 years, The Chantry is thought to have been built in 1935 and has been successfully extended and altered over the years including by our clients with the help of CAD Architects. The accommodation presents particularly well and possess no small amount of character of the 1930’s era with very generous sized rooms throughout, above average ceiling heights and painted beams with some rooms having painted panelling and the three main reception rooms all having working fireplaces. The accommodation is very well balanced indeed giving four double bedrooms, two bath or shower rooms and up to four reception rooms including a large lounge, dining room and conservatory with an additional sizeable sitting room also having potential to be used as a fifth double bedroom.

A porch to the front protects a hardwood door to a vestibule with the cloakroom to one side and the main reception hall beyond whilst a further pitched roofed porch to the side covers a hardwood stable door opening into the back part of the kitchen which is very well appointed with polished granite worktops, an Aga and has been reorganised to make two rooms now function as one.

On the ground floor is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and on the first floor there are three further double bedrooms and the main bath/shower room. All of these bedrooms have excellent proportions with one of them having a Juliet balcony looking beyond the adjacent cricket ground to the sea and coastline around Carne beach and Nare Head. The central bedroom has a full width of the room bay from where the views are spectacular looking out across the sea to Gull Rock as well as along the coastline to Rame Head and the Eddystone Lighthouse near Plymouth on a clear day. The gardens are prolifically stocked and very well planned indeed – complementing the house and creating a very fitting and attractive setting for such a fine one off home. Privacy

is assured by the stone walled and hedged topped frontage with a gated driveway to one side leading to the garage. To both the front and rear there are large paved terraces providing sunny places to relax throughout the day. These are surrounded by stunning deep planted beds with a wonderful array of differing plants providing a display throughout the year. To the rear is a large level lawn loosely divided by a pergola wrapped in climbing plants and there is also a workshop, shed, greenhouse and vegetable garden within the generous grounds. Homes of this nature are scarce on the Roseland peninsula and are often held onto for more than one generation of the same family. The chance to purchase such a discreet yet superb house in this acutely desirable situation close to beaches and sailing facilities should not be overlooked by those looking for a quality home on the Roseland Peninsula or even across Cornwall. LOCATION The Chantry is found in the heart of Gerrans which effectively forms one larger village with its neighbour Portscatho. Between them Gerrans and Portscatho have a doctor’s surgery, general stores, a butcher, two pubs, a highly regarded restaurant, a modern primary school, squash courts, a football pitch, a social club and village hall with events throughout the year. Portscatho holds a sailing regatta during the summer from its beautiful stone quay harbour which protects a small fishing and private boat fleet and there is also a public slipway descending to a sandy beach at low tide. One can easily walk along the South West Coast Path to Porthcurnick beach and the Hidden Hut beach café/restaurant which has been vaunted by the national media including the Sunday Times. Some of the most beautiful walking in Cornwall can be found by following the path to the east to Pendower beach and Nare Head or to the west to St Anthony Head and its lighthouse, before continuing around and overlooking St Mawes harbour and then looping

back through woodland whilst overlooking the Percuil River. The whole area is one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For those interested in sailing there are moorings along the length of the Percuil River either approached from Percuil which is only just over a mile away or from St Mawes which is about a 5 mile drive. St Mawes has a particularly active sailing club and holds regular racing throughout the season as well as organising cruises. There are various hotel and restaurants overlooking the water at St Mawes and around the coastline as well country pubs in nearby hamlets. One can drive to Truro either through Tregony or by crossing the King Harry Ferry. Truro is Cornwall’s capital and has the largest selection of local and national retailers lining its cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets. A Marks & Spencer flagship store overlooks the Lemon Quay piazza. Supermarkets and out of town trading estates provide all one would expect of the county’s capital. Falmouth is also easily reached either via the King Harry car ferry or the passenger ferry leaving directly from St Mawes.
