In the owner's words
"A beautiful family home that has been a dream come true for me. As a little
girl I dreamt of living in this run down house, which has been transformed
into the gorgeous property we are currently privileged to live in - being set
in one of the most picturesque locations in our county.
We have shared many cosy Christmas’s and celebrated various special occasions
here with our family and friends.
It is firstly and foremost a home that has been a safe haven for us, where we
have lived, laughed and loved. Our hope would be that one day the next family
to live here could experience and share this ambience of true happiness and
contentment as we have in their new home. "
**The property**
Much larger than you might expect with over 200sq. m of living space, this home
has two grand reception rooms and four double bedrooms. Granite fireplaces in
the siting room, dining room and two of the bedrooms show the age of the
property, but the house has been so well updated and modernised that it feels
much more modern inside.
A generous entrance hall leads, on one side, to the kitchen/dining room. A
range of cream farmhouse style cabinets include an integrated dishwasher,
double Belfast sink, and offer plenty of storage space including display
cabinets and countertop larder. There is a four oven Stoves Range and space
for an American Fridge/Freezer. The dining area has ample space for a large
table - ideal for entertaining.
The 23ft. Sitting room's focal point is the beautiful granite inglenook
fireplace with a slate hearth and an inset wood burning stove. Another lovely
feature is a built in wood store with granite mantle at the far end of the
room. There is also a charming window seat and the room features oak flooring,
which flows out to the entrance hall, for ease of maintenance. French doors
open into a glazed sunroom which has doors leading out to the rear garden.
To the rear of the house is a useful utility room, a cloakroom and a good
sized office/study which could be used as a fifth bedroom.
Upstairs there are four good sized double bedrooms. The master bedroom has an
en - suite shower room. The family bathroom is lovely, with a freestanding bath,
separate shower and a gorgeous vanity unit.
From the sunroom and utility room granite steps lead up to a fully enclosed
and level garden. Laid mostly to lawn there is also a south - west facing patio
area and a summer house.
To the side of the property is a single garage and a gravelled parking area
for 2 - 3 cars.
The property is link - detached having a neighbours barn adjoining the rear of
the property and a storage shed to one side.
The property benefits from an Air Source Heat Pump, Solar Panels & is Double
Glazed Throughout. There is Under Floor Heating on The Ground Floor & Family
Bathroom
**Surrounding area**
The property is situated in the picturesque village of Drift, a collection of
mainly old stone cottages and farms with a large reservoir to the north.
This is a popular locality where the pace of life is somewhat slower and
neighbours pass the time of day. It is within easy access of Newlyn, a busy
fishing port which offers a good range of local amenities and Penzance (approx
2 miles), the main town in Penwith and containing a good shopping centre and
main line railway station, and the A30 trunk road.
The far west of Cornwall is popular with residents and second home owners
alike who perceive the area as having changed little over the years. The
coastline is rugged but with several beautiful sandy beaches including
Porthcurno and Sennen and there are numerous attractions within easy reach
including the Minnack Theatre (7 miles), Penwith Moors and the Lands End
peninsula (7miles).
