LOCATION

A treasure in the leafy heart of the Cornish countryside, surrounded by fields and private gardens, Lambourne Farm is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Lambourne Farm borders the historic village of St Day. Its rural location, on a quiet lane leading only to a bridal path, is largely untroubled by passing traffic save horseback riders and dog walkers. From Lambourne Farm's abiding sense of calm, you'd never know the main A30, with its superb travel links to the best of Cornwall, is only a five minute drive. You can be in the fine cathedral hub of Truro within 15-20 minutes and the thriving port of Falmouth within 25 minutes. Both towns offer excellent choices of shops and restaurants.St Day's central location gives you easy access to the surfing beaches of the north coast (Porthtowan 12mins, Perranporth 15mins) and the calmer waters of the south coast (Swanpool and Maenporth 25mins). The village sits on the beautiful 12-mile cycling/walking route between both coasts, while the numerous branches of the River Fal offer boat moorings, nature reserves and picturesque riverside hamlets, as well as many great restaurants and pubs.The old mining village of St Day benefits from a primary school, Post Office, two general stores, a butcher, a doctors' surgery, a pharmacy and two pubs. Further amenities are offered by the nearby villages of Chacewater and Carharrack. The well-maintained grounds of the local football and cricket club regularly host local teams, and St Day is renowned for its community spirit; the Parish Council vigorously champions the village environment, yet you need feel no obligation to participate. In short, Lambourne Farm offers you a way of life as serene and fulfilling as you could wish for.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Lambourne Farm is a beautifully presented character property which is situated in a glorious rural position in the heart of Cornwall. This property offers commodious accommodation of over 2,500 square feet which one would not expect from a casual road side glance. The house offers tremendous versatility as either a spacious family home or with the option of an integral annexe for relatives or for letting to provide an extra income. This is currently known as Anchor Cottage and has been successfully let for both holidays and long term in the past. There is parking for several cars however stepping through the gate is where Lambourne Farm will capture the imagination of any prospective purchaser. The gardens measure approximately 0.8 of an acre with many secret nooks and crannies as well as a large area of lawn, an orchard, small woodland, patios and a rockery. The grounds really are magical with a host of established plants and shrubs creating the most beautiful outdoor spaces. Adding yet more appeal to this lovely garden is a garden ruin: the foliage-clad granite of a small C19th engine house, delightful evidence of the area's rich mining heritage. To assure you of the land's long-term stability and safety, a comprehensive, lender-approved mining report is available on request. The house is presented to a very high standard with a stunning open plan kitchen/dining room which incorporates an island and high quality worktops. There is a utility and doors opening onto the decked and covered side terrace. The main entrance hall is light and spacious and opens to the sitting room which is a delightful snug with a stove, perfect for cosy winter nights. Furthermore there is an excellent study which could be a fourth bedroom if required. There is access through a door way in the study to Anchor Cottage making it extremely easy to open the property up as one house. The first floor offers a superb master bedroom as well as two further double bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom. There is access from the landing into Anchor Cottage so this can be incorporated back into the main property with ease. Lambourne Farm is a very special package and very rare in such a convenient location midway between Truro, Falmouth and Redruth with good access to the A30.
