GENERAL COMMENTS AND LOCATION

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a detached property for renovation and improvement standing within a very large garden in this sought-after geographic location. Valley View is virtually hidden from passers-by and has only a driveway frontage to the main street of Gerrans almost immediately opposite the parish church. Being set on rising ground with the gardens sloping away into the valley the house has fabulous unobstructed views over the adjacent Roseland countryside.
The house is believed to have been built in the 1960's and whilst a substantial building it is now dated and warrants refurbishment and updating and offers scope for extending, subject to consent.

The villages of Gerrans and neighbouring Portscatho between them offer a range of local facilities including a good general store, two public houses, social club, galleries, post office, primary school and doctors surgery. The village is situated approximately five miles from St. Mawes which has a regular foot passenger ferry service to Falmouth.

The city of Truro is approximately sixteen miles by road but there is also a short cut route via the King Harry Ferry. Sailing facilities are available at nearby Percuil, there are a variety of beaches in the area whilst coastal and inland walks abound and most of which are owned and protected by the National Trust.

THE HOUSE

The house is of conventional block construction under a concrete tiled roof. Elevations are mainly cement rendered and windows have replacement double glazing. Heating is supplied by various electric storage radiators.
Unusually the conservatory is at first floor level being built above the sitting/dining room. This was due to the house being originally designed to have the sitting room on the first floor to take advantage of the views but which is now detailed as a bedroom within these particulars.

To the side of the above there is a pedestrian gate opening into an enclosed WALLED COURTYARD GARDEN with raised beds and a further greenhouse.

THE GARDENS

These are delightful and a unique attribute to a village property of this nature due to the size and variety of planting. Whilst somewhat overgrown and recently neglected they represent a plantsperson's garden with abundant and mature planting of rare and specimen shrubs. Laid out in terraces on a hillside site there are terraces, meandering stone paved pathways which ultimately descend to a pedestrian gate onto Well Lane. Much of the garden is underplanted with bulbs and perennials and there is also a small ornamental pond and a timber GARDEN SHED. There is enormous privacy.
