Fraddon, St. Columb, TR9

SUMMARY: This delightful period home has been in the same family ownership for over 50 years, a real testament to just how wonderful a property it is. Sold with heavy hearts but a head full of cherished memories.

A fine looking fully detached double fronted home built in the early 20th century, it sits on a fantastic plot in an elevated position commanding stunning far reaching open country views all the way back to the north coastline of Newquay with sea views in the distance. This aspect is truly breath taking particularly in the afternoons as the sun sets over the bay.

This family home ticks so many boxes with an abundance of features, it beautifully blends original character and modern comforts, having superb family sized reception space, quality size double bedrooms, lovely surrounding gardens as well as fantastic parking with two driveways and detached double garage and there is even further scope in the attic which has a semi converted into a highly usable loft room.

The striking appearance immediately hits you as you approach the sheltered front entrance. A modern composite style door leads into an inviting vestibule with beautiful Minton style period tiled flooring. A glazed inner door leads through to the hallway which has natural wood stairs rising to the first floor. The stairwell sits central to the property with both of the reception rooms sitting to either side which is common with double fronted homes.

These two reception spaces are firstly a fantastic open plan 24ft living room, flooded with light from large bay window to the front incorporating the view and a window to the rear. Although the room is incredibly spacious it also has a cosy atmosphere thanks in part to its beautiful floor mounted, cast iron wood burner.

The second reception room; the kitchen/diner is a similar size to the lounge and again completely open plan. Flooded with light from a large bay window to the front with the view and a rear window. The kitchen has a farmhouse style range of fitted units with a gorgeous oil fired Rayburn that fills the room with a relaxing warmth and provides a great cooking source, additionally there is space for a standard cooker for ease. There is plentiful space within the kitchen for white goods as well as a fitted butler style sink and the dining space is just the most wonderful social family area which undoubtedly would be the perfect place to host a party or Christmas dinner.

From the rear outer hallway there is a pantry cupboard under the stairs and access to the rear conservatory, a lovely additional reception room and again a fantastic relaxation space looking out and providing access to the gardens.

The property has been extended so in addition to this on the ground floor there is a fantastic semi open plan utility and wet room style shower suite with large walk in shower, wash basin, WC, cupboard housing the oil fired combi boiler and plentiful space and plumbing for white goods within the laundry area.

Rising up onto the first floor there is a spacious landing with natural light flooding in from a half landing window. Ladder style stairs rise to the loft room and there is access to all of the rooms on the first floor from the landing. This incorporates three fantastic size double bedrooms, two facing the front enjoying the very best of the open country view. The largest of these three is a particularly spacious room as it was formally two separate rooms. As such it could be sub divided again creating four bedrooms in total if required.

The family bathroom and toilet sit separately but side by side, they could be opened up if required, however, functionality wise they work very well in their current configuration. The bathroom has a gorgeous traditional style modern suite which incorporates a roll top claw foot bath and large double shower, there is also useful storage and a traditional style wash basin.

The loft room is a great space and could provide a variety of useful uses including storage. If buyers wished to convert it fully much of the work is already done and subject to building regulations including the installation of full size stairs this could easily be turned into a large fifth bedroom. It occupies the entire second floor and is sub divided into two spaces, one with Velux windows which would make a natural bedroom if converted fully and one remaining as storage.

The gardens are a real feature to this property and surround the property on three sides, lawned to the front with small veg patch. The first of two driveways is positioned on the side, big enough for a motor home or similar. The secondary driveway is positioned to the rear, providing access to the double garage which has large industrial style metal opening doors and plenty of room to house a vehicles and general family storage.

The final part, the rear garden area is probably the largest section laid in a low maintenance patio style great for relaxing in the sunshine and enjoying a family BBQ.

By modern standards not only is this property much bigger but these gardens are much bigger than what you would normally see in the Newquay area at these price points. This is a fantastic family home that has served this family well but now deserves a new family to make it their own.

Viewing essential.
