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.
