DESCRIPTION In the pretty and sought after village of Botallack, is this substantial residence that sits behind a sweeping u-shaped driveway. Over two floors, the property currently offers four large en-suite bedrooms, three receptions, a study/garden room, further shower room and a large workspace, but there is obvious and easy potential for five bedrooms and four receptions; the property is generous throughout. Across the entrance hallway, brings you to the first reception room. The spacious living room spills out to a large conservatory which offers view out to the lush wraparound garden that is bounded by trees, offering a very high level of privacy. There are double doors through to a very good size kitchen/dining room, with a study or garden room at the other end of the house - both rooms have double doors out to the wonderful gardens. A surprising, but most versatile, room has been created to the front; currently used as a framers workshop, the space is large and benefits from its own access to the side of the property via another lobby with storage. Suitable as another large reception, ground floor bedroom or work from home facility, this room adds even more appeal to an already very flexible and desirable home. To the first floor are four large double bedrooms, three having en-suite shower rooms and the master having an en-suite bathroom. The property exudes space, light and a truly welcoming homely feel, and a large part of all of that is the splendid gardens that greet you from every aspect. A large lawned garden to the rear, with pockets of specimen shrubs and plants, protected by a boundary of trees is only interrupted by the summerhouse at the end; a possible studio or workspace with mains power. The garden wraps to the side and leads to a gravelled area and a detached garage. This is a wonderful home, a short walk from the coast path and sea views. LOCATION Botallack is a sought-after area just outside St Just in Penwith - made famous more recently by the emergence of BBC's Poldark series, and BBC's Villages by the Sea, the landscape is unspoiled and reflects the mining heritage of the area. Botallack has a popular pub called the Queen's Arms, and lots of scenic walks on your doorstep; either down to the rugged coast path or across the heather-filled moors to ancient stone circles. St Just is a very popular town with a thriving community and a varied mix of busy shops and businesses. Properties here are predominantly granite cottages harking back to the tin mining era and St Just's prosperous heritage. Boasting two fantastic butchers, four pubs, traditional grocers, and two convenience stores, St Just has all the essentials covered, as well as offering well-respected art galleries, popular eateries, and some stunning coastal walks nearby. There is both a primary and secondary school in St Just, both rated as Good by Ofsted most recently. Penzance is approximately 8 miles away.
