GENERAL COMMENTS

The location of Valley Mead is very special indeed, tucked away in a quiet position on the edge of Polgooth yet within walking distance of the village pub, post office and shop. The whole property enjoys fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. Valley Mead has been in the same ownership for nearly forty years and has been greatly improved during this time. In recent years the attached garage has been converted into a self contained annexe and so the house is extremely versatile. The accommodation includes four bedrooms and shower room on the first floor with kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room, utility and cloakroom downstairs. The annexe includes a superb kitchen/dining and sitting room on the ground floor with en suite bedroom upstairs. All of the rooms are of a good proportion and many are twin aspect and so very light with good views. Outside is a very private enclosed garden that enjoys a sunny aspect and fabulous views. There is plenty of parking and at the top of the garden is a splendid stable block. The house has oil fired central heating, double glazed windows and solar panels that provides income through the feed in tariff. Valley Mead is being sold with no chain and an internal viewing is essential.
The vendor rents a small paddock that adjoins the property. It may be possible for this to continue with the new owner. Further information from the agents.

LOCATION

The village of Polgooth has a good range of facilities including a popular local pub, post office and general stores whilst at the nearby St. Mewan there is a primary school and parish church. The property is also well placed for access to the south Cornish coast and much of the land in the area is owned and protected by the National Trust. Well known local attractions in the area include the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, the quaint harbour side village of Mevagissey and Charlestown as well as the beaches at Pentewan, Carlyon Bay and Porthpean. The nearest beach is a twenty minute bicycle ride along the Pentewan cycle trail. The town of St. Austell is less than three miles from the property whilst the city of Truro with its fine shopping centre is about thirteen miles away. Both offer a wide range of daily facilities including secondary schools and supermarkets. There is a main line railway link to London (Paddington) from Truro and St. Austell.

OUTSIDE

Valley Mead is approached from a country lane through two wooden gates that opens into a private driveway, where there is parking for three/ four cars and ample turning space. A concrete path/drive leads up to the stables. The front garden is predominantly gently sloping lawn with a wonderful selection of mature shrubs and plants including a splendid magnolia tree. The whole garden is extremely private and enclosed within natural hedge boundaries which provides privacy and protection. Located at the top of the garden are the stables with concrete apron that provides additional sitting out space in which to enjoy the lovely views. The stables have recently had a new box profile roof and have light and water connected. Adjoining these stables is an open fronted shed currently used as a log store and the views from here are lovely. A path leads down, through the front garden, to the front door and lawned garden with attractive stone retaining wall, beyond this is a further enclosed garden that continues around to the rear where a pedestrian path leads via a metal gate onto the access lane with quick access to the public house and village facilities. There is an additional garden at the rear enclosed within a high hedge that gives total privacy and a path leads back to the entrance porch.
