GENERAL COMMENTS

The position of Menihuan is very special indeed, nestled just above the creek and enjoying magnificent uninterrupted water views. The property is located along the Old Tram Road which is a single track lane that connects the hamlets of Point and Penpol to Devoran. It has been a cherished home since built in the 1980's and has been in the same family ownership for all of this time, therefore it is a very rare opportunity.
The reverse level accommodation makes the very best of the fabulous south facing water views with the majority of the rooms enjoying a view. The accommodation includes entrance conservatory, four bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor, the master bedroom has an en suite shower room. The first floor has a large sitting room, dining room, kitchen, two further bedrooms and cloakroom. A balcony is accessed from the dining room and this provides plenty of sitting space in which to enjoy the view. The property is double glazed with LPG central heating. Photovoltaic panels reduce the electricity bills. Outside are private enclosed gardens that surround the house and enjoy the creek views. A driveway provides private parking for many cars with space for boats, trailers etc. and there is a detached double garage. The property is sold with no chain and an internal viewing is essential.

LOCATION

The hamlets of Point and Penpol combine to form a residential community about five miles to the south of Truro. Restronguet Creek is very popular with boating enthusiasts and provides easy access to the sailing waters of the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads). A public slipway is within a short walk of the house, local facilities are available in Carnon Downs (about one and a half miles) whilst the Cathedral city of Truro provides an excellent shopping centre and includes a main line railway station to London (Paddington) and a good selection of restaurants and bars. The Hall for Cornwall provides year round entertainment and there are golf courses at nearby Truro and Falmouth. The historic port of Falmouth is about eight miles away. Point is also at one end of the Bissoe cycle trail which runs along the creek to Devoran through Bissoe and eventually leads to the north Cornish coast at Portreath.
