An opportunity to purchase an elegant, four bedroom former Count House in the delightful rural setting of Tresowes Hill, Ashton.
Nestled in a serene rural setting, this imposing period property offers a fabulous opportunity to own a piece of Cornwall's rich history. The beautifully presented property combines immense charm with the comforts of modern living whilst enjoying views over open countryside and out to sea. Benefitting from LPG central heating, the well proportioned property provides spacious accommodation with a highlight being the large sun room that overlooks the front garden.
The outside space is a real feature of the residence with well maintained sizable gardens with various mature trees, plants and shrubs. Former barns are now utilised as workshops and there is a pleasant sloping meadow which we are advised measures approximately 0.5 of an acre. Parking is available for a good number of vehicles.
In brief, the accommodation comprises a utility room, shower room, kitchen/diner, snug, lounge, dining room, sun room and, completing the ground floor, a fourth bedroom. On the first floor is a bathroom and three further bedrooms.
Tresowes Hill itself is nestled on the south western side of Tregonning Hill and from its elevated position enjoys fine views over this part of West Cornwall. The nearby local villages of Ashton and Breage, between them, provide well regarded public houses, a petrol station, primary school and post office. The popular coastal village of Praa Sands is also a short drive away with its sandy beach, public house and shops to cater for every day needs. The towns of Helston and Penzance provide more comprehensive amenities including national stores, restaurants, leisure centres with indoor swimming pools and both primary and secondary schooling. Penzance also benefits from mainline rail links to London Paddington from Penzance train station.
