An impeccably presented detached three bedroom period residence with magnificent gardens nestled within an idyllic valley just moments from Porthallow Cove.

Carrisbrooke is an elegant and impressive property which has been tastefully and sympathetically enhanced to a high specification during the current owners tenure. Dating back to circa 1908 the residence is presented to an exacting standard whilst retaining its' character and period detailing.

Highlights, internally, include a beautifully appointed open plan kitchen and dining area, which would seem the perfect place in which to host dinner parties and family gatherings, before retiring to the elegant lounge with its feature fireplace and wood burning stove. The impressive master bedroom suite is likely to appeal to the most discerning of buyers with a generously proportioned en suite shower room, large dressing room and a secluded sun deck.

Being a real feature of the residence the gardens provide a haven for wildlife and an oasis of calm which will delight keen gardeners and horticulturalists alike. These are neatly landscaped and cleverly designed with areas in which to sit out and relax, either on the decking by the ornamental pond or in the 'Mediterranean' garden room.

Refinements include central heating, under floor electric heating in the bathroom, breakfast room, wet room and en suite shower room, Georgian style hardwood sash windows and traditionally styled designer radiators.

The accommodation on the ground floor comprises an entrance porch, inner hallway, utility room, open plan kitchen / dining room, lounge, study, breakfast room and a wet room. On the first floor there is a generous landing, a family bathroom and three bedrooms with the master bedroom having an en suite shower room together with a walk in dressing room.

"We were looking for a property near to the coast, so Carrisbrooke was ideal. We're just a two-minute walk away from the beach and there are lots of beautiful walks to explore right from our doorstep. Set in a pretty little village, we've enjoyed being part of the friendly community, and there's always plenty to do," say the owners.

"The property was in need of renovation when we purchased it nearly 6 years ago but we loved the large garden and generous proportions of the building, so we were excited by the potential. We added an extension to the side of the property which gave us an extra bathroom, dressing room, boot room, and balcony."

"For culture enthusiasts, Hall for Cornwall in Truro and the Minack Theatre perched on the Cornish cliffs in Porthcurno are well worth a visit. There are some nice shops and good amenities in the local area and we're not short of fabulous places to eat, including pubs, restaurants, and beach cafes. We enjoy fishing, kayaking, sailing, long walks in the woods with our dog, visiting National Trust historic buildings and open gardens that are local to us, and taking part in various groups and classes in the village hall."

"We are keen gardeners and grow a lot of produce in our poly tunnel including salad vegetables, courgettes, tomatoes, broccoli, chard, and early potatoes. The garden has several areas to sit and relax and enjoy the wildlife especially around the pond."

"In the summer, we spend the majority of our time working in the garden or relaxing in the little building that's home to an amazing grapevine. The kitchen / dining room lends itself well to gatherings as it's spacious enough for us to cook and have everyone in there with us. The lounge is another lovely room, especially in winter when the wood burning fire is lit, and you can't beat an early morning coffee sitting on the sun deck."

Once home to the pilchard industry, Porthallow is situated on the sheltered eastern side of The Lizard Peninsula and is located within an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is a pleasant shingle beach with coastal views out across Falmouth Bay and The Roseland Peninsula beyond. The village is situated at the half way point of the South West Coast Path from where one can enjoy a walk to Nare Point and the mouth of Gillan Creek beyond.

The village of St Keverne lies approximately two miles away and boasts an active community with a good range of clubs, societies and organisations, having a good selection of local shops which cater for everyday needs, two public houses, a health centre, Methodist chapel, Anglican church and primary school. Comprehensive schooling is available in the nearby village of Mullion. A short drive away is the majestic renowned sailing waters of the Helford River. Helford is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and lush countryside. For the sailing enthusiast the area offers excellent facilities and opportunities for exploring the many beautiful wooded creeks including Frenchman's Creek, immortalised by Daphne Du-Maurier in the novel by the same name.
