In all, about 0.7 of an acre. DESCRIPTION Stonecutter’s Island is found in Keeble Park which was developed as individual plots around the late 1960’s. This house has been in the same ownership for about 30 years and this is no surprise where you consider its list of highly desirable and difficult to find attributes. The setting is very private and extremely quiet especially when one considers the convenient location only about a mile from the main A39 between Truro and Falmouth and the branch line railway has a station that is amazingly within short walking distance of the house. The property faces south to the rear out over beautiful parkland like grounds which descend to

Ref: LCAA7868 3

a stream and the outlook is across the valley to woodland with a leafy outlook such as this extremely hard to come by in Cornwall. The house was evidently built with an architect’s design flare with two wedge roofed structures with interesting shaped chimneys. The two wings have a glass sided link between them and there are further architectural details including rows of tall windows on two elevations. Inside one will find a very spacious four bedroomed family home that is approached at upper ground floor level with the initial reception hall opening through to a games room on one side and to the main bedroom hall on the other which has a wall of glass. The master bedroom has a dual aspect including three of the tall windows and its own excellent en-suite bathroom. The other three good sized bedrooms share a modern shower room. Beyond the games room a door opens into the integral garage, workshop and utility space which also has double doors down into the garden. The lower floor contains the reception rooms with a sizeable hall with a full wall of glass, doubling up as a reading room. A well proportioned kitchen/breakfast room opens to a south and east facing morning terrace. There is also a study, dining room, walk-in laundry cupboard, sizeable wc and a large lounge which faces south towards the views and has a contemporary inset woodburning stove.

The gardens are just as important as the accommodation with extensive patios surrounding the house edged with wonderful low lying beds and larger shrubs and trees beyond. A very broad south facing deck stands above the large lawn below with a picket fence providing a barrier for children and pets to the streamside garden beyond where our clients have also created a picturesque pond. Around the boundaries are an amazing array of mature trees and to the front there is driveway parking for 4 or 5 cars as well as access to the large garage. The whole extends to about 0.7 of an acre. As mentioned at the start of this description, the attributes displayed above are hard enough to find anywhere in Cornwall but, for them to be in one of the county’s most desirable locations, equidistant between Truro and Falmouth and within walking distance of Restronguet Creek and the Bissoe Trail make Stonecutter’s Island even more appealing.

LOCATION Keeble Park is found off Tarradean Lane which descends down to only a few yards away from the start of the Bissoe Trail which is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders and

Ref: LCAA7868 5

extends all the way from Devoran on the south coast to Portreath on the north coast with many offshoots along the way. On the opposite side of the road to Tarradean Lane is the branch line railway station linking Falmouth to Truro from where main line trains continue direct to London Paddington. Only a short stroll away is the village stores/post office, a Morgan garage, The Royal Oak Inn, the village community centre and a well regarded junior school. The sailing waters and creeks of the Fal Estuary are within easy reach with kayaking, dinghy sailing and windsurfing available at Loe Beach, Feock and Mylor Harbour. Both Mylor and Falmouth offer deep water moorings and marinas along with laying up facilities for larger yachts. Falmouth also has sandy beaches, The National Maritime Museum and a wide range of facilities and events including Falmouth Regatta Week. The cathedral city of Truro is about 10 minutes’ drive away and is the county’s leading retailing, administrative and educational centre with unrivalled shopping facilities, expanding employment opportunities and a wide selection of both state and private schooling for all ages.

A flight of steps descend from the drive past a bed with an acer

and camellia and under a fir tree before continuing as a path below a large acer tree to the extensive west facing paved patio. An opening from here leads onto the lawn which descends beside the patio which is edged with beautiful flowering and shrub filled beds including many azaleas. Three steps descend down to a large decked terrace with wooden balustrade and built-in timber seating, from where there are wonderful views over the lawned garden below to woodland.

To the east side of the house is a further paved patio outside of the glazed kitchen door as well as a raised glass fronted patio above it. A pathway rises up to the double doors into the utility and garage with a woodstore to one side, greenhouse and long run of specimen planted beds to the other. Where the east and south patios join is a superb SUMMERHOUSE 11’6” x 7’9” with double doors and windows on three elevations facing south and west across the garden. Additionally, there is a modern GARDEN SHED 12’ x 8’ discreetly placed within planted beds at the corner of the lawn. Steps descend from the patios down through beautiful beds to the large open and very private lawn below. The whole garden enjoys extreme tranquillity and particularly serene surroundings with many mature and differing trees including oak, copper beach and firs as well as shrubs including rhododendrons. An attractive picket fence with gates divides the

major part of the lawn from the pond and streamside garden providing safety for children and pets. Beyond the fence is a pond surrounded by a deck with a bridge leading over it and this area of garden fronts the stream. Significant work to the ground has allowed this space to be useable throughout the spring and summer months when it is a particularly rare and beautiful asset, especially in Cornwall.
