To be sold for the first time since construction about 28 years ago, an impressively spacious 4 bedroomed, 3 bathroomed detached house with sizeable integral garage,

standing in large level gardens with plentiful driveway parking and south westerly views across countryside to the sea. A very original home that is ideal for updating, in an

exclusive edge of village location within short walking distance of various facilities, just a short drive from Porthcurno, Lamorna and Sennen Coves.

SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: reception hall, lounge with granite fireplace, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, wc, integral garage. First Floor: landing, master bedroom en-suite, guest bedroom en-suite, 2 further double bedrooms, family bathroom. Outside: planted granite walled frontage with brick paved driveway leading to the large integral garage. Large gardens including a south west facing front lawn and paved patio. Level secluded lawned rear garden with many mature shrubs and trees. DESCRIPTION 3 Parc-an-Peath is one of four impressive detached houses in this exclusive cul-de-sac, each standing in large plots and each individually designed although they all share attractive hipped roofs and importantly granite facings that we are informed, came from the building site during the original construction about 28 years ago. No. 3, like its neighbours, is also set back behind thick granite Cornish hedges which protects beautiful level lawned gardens to both the front and rear allowing one to enjoy sun throughout the day, with seating on stone paved terraces. The front garden is more open in nature and faces south west with the rear garden being more sheltered and private as it is surrounded by mature shrubs and trees. To the front of the house there is also plentiful driveway parking leading to the integral garage.

The house was evidently built to a high standard and is offered with much of its original fitments although upgrades have been made to the two en-suite bath/shower rooms off the principal bedrooms. As such we fully expect a new owner to update the interior décor and possibly the kitchen and utility room. There also seems to be potential to link the kitchen/breakfast room and the large dining room adjacent to it to provide a more modern style of layout, although both individual rooms are of good proportions as they stand. Other recent works include some external decoration and importantly a new oil fired boiler in 2014 and new double glazed windows in 2018 therefore significantly reducing the potential cost of improvements. The accommodation is very well proportioned indeed with a broad canopied porch protecting the front door opening into the hall. To one side is a wc and the door into the integral garage. To the front is a sizeable square lounge with granite fireplace, woodburning stove and French doors to a smaller sheltered and private terrace beside a magnolia grandiflora. To the side is a triple aspect dining room which also has a patio door to the rear garden and this is also overlooked by the kitchen/breakfast room and the glazed door off the utility room. The first floor is very impressive with two bedrooms vying to be considered the master, both with windows to the front looking at the views and both with en-suite bath/shower rooms. One or other of these rooms would be ideal for letting through a company such as Airbnb. The other two bedrooms are also good sized doubles and between them is the family bathroom. 3 Parc-an-Peath has superb countryside views which stretch over many miles of land all the way to the sea in the distance. As with all rural communities there is a necessity to expand to help support the services which would otherwise be lost, and we are informed there is planning permission for the construction of several new homes in the field opposite. We are however also informed that to gain access for these new homes the developer would require access through the hedge on the opposite side of the road to 3 Parc-an-Peath and this is owned by 3 Parc-an-Peath. No access has been provided by the current owners of 3 Parc-an-Peath.

LOCATION St Buryan is a small and peaceful rural village on the Penwith peninsula between Land’s End and Penzance. St Buryan has a local shop, community centre, public house and post office providing for day to day needs whilst the large town of Penzance is about 10 minutes’ drive away. Penzance is known as the capital of west Cornwall and has a full selection of local and national retailers amongst its historic streets. There are a full range of professional, sporting and schooling facilities in the town and a hospital. Penzance is a port town with its harbour opening into Mounts Bay with excellent sailing set to the backdrop of St Michael’s Mount. Penzance also has a mainline railway station with direct trains to London Paddington. St Buryan is situated within easy reach of several picturesque villages including Sennen, Newlyn and Mousehole (famous for its Christmas lights) plus the potters’ haven of Lamorna. Sennen Cove is largely regarded as one of the best bathing and surfing beaches around the Cornish coastline with views to the Isles of Scilly on a clear day. To the north east is St Ives which is popular with tourists and artists with excellent surfing beaches and the Tate St Ives gallery. There are miles of unspoilt countryside and cliff top walks around the area with large tracts of the coastline under the stewardship of the National Trust. To the south of St Buryan is Porthcurno and the Minack clifftop theatre which hosts open air roving dramatic groups during the summer months and is a popular venue from which to watch many classic plays whilst enjoying the wonderful sea views that the theatre provides.
