GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property that will appeal to those looking for a residential smallholding or equestrian enterprise in a special location but also those with a need to establish a business and maximise the existing commercial potential and thereby provide lucrative income.The dwelling at Chy an Bowjy comprises of a 3 bedroom single-storey building with very generous living accommodation and whilst attached to another dwelling it is very private and the result of a sympathetic barn range conversion originally undertaken nearly 40 years ago. An inner courtyard includes a separate 1 bedroom annex which is ideal for a dependent relative, teenager or possibly letting. Externally there is mature planting to the garden and grounds and trees provide shelter and privacy. Beyond the gardens the land is comprised in four railed or fenced paddocks, there are purpose built stables/donkey sheds and a loose cattle house with concreted yard. A dominant feature of the property is the large modern outbuilding of approximately 5,500 sq ft and a quarter of which is occupied by a local veterinary practice and providing useful income. Previously other parts of the building have been let as workshops and there is huge potential in this respect. The total extent of the property is about 6.29 acres.Tregongon is a small hamlet with a mere handful of individual properties. It is located just off the A3078 Truro to St Mawes road, central to all the scenic attractions of the Roseland Peninsula and the Cathedral city of Truro and St. Austell both about twelve miles away and within twenty minutes driving distance. The nearest villages of Tregony and Veryan are both within three miles, offering excellent every day facilities including public houses, shops and post office, churches, primary school as well as a secondary school at Tregony. Sandy beaches are very close at Pendower and Carne (2-3miles) and the harbour village of St.Mawes is within a short drive. The tiny village of Ruanlanihorne is within a mile and a half and here there is an ancient church and a popular pub. The whole of the Roseland peninsula is recognised as being of outstanding natural beauty and there are fabulous cliff top walks along the coast. The King Harry ferry provides an alternative link to Truro, whilst St. Mawes has a pedestrian ferry to Falmouth.

THE DWELLING

The dwelling at Chy an Bowjy (cornish for Cowshouse or Shippon ) is deceptive and its full extent is virtually hidden from view from any passer-by. It comprises a large single-storey building with attractive mellow stone elevations under a multi-hipped natural slate roof. Whilst originally converted from an extensive range of farm buildings nearly 40 years ago the property has been significantly improved and even extended in more recent years. Windows have replacement lattice-effect double glazing and internally there is comprehensive oil-fired central heating. A particular feature of the property is the very spacious living space, there is a magnificent 30ft main reception (combined formal dining and sitting room) as well as a smaller sitting room, a good sized kitchen/breakfast room with oil-fired Aga and also a utility. There are 3 bedrooms, two being served by a jack and jill shower and the master bedroom having an adjacent bath/shower room. An inner paved courtyard is an absolute delight and here there is a separate one bedroom annex.

The main gardens are to the west side of the dwelling and a wide brick paved terrace leads to a level sweep of lawn interspersed and edged with a wealth of mature shrubs and trees. GREENHOUSE 18' x 10'. An enclosed courtyard to the rear of the dwelling is an absolute delight being fully brick paved and featuring some mature shrubs including a lovely magnolia and also a stone faced rectangular ornamental pond.The entrance into the property from the highway immediately branches and is a circular route benefitting the main residence (and with a right of way for the adjacent residence) but with a wooded driveway providing access to the car park immediately alongside the veterinary practice and also continuing to the fields.

THE BUILDINGS

Situated beyond the garden and approached either by a vehicular drive or pedestrian path there is a range of purpose built STABLING designed specifically for ponies and donkeys but equally suitable for other livestock. A wide central covered passageway is flanked by several looseboxes with water bowls, fodder storage areas and with an additional larger box at one end. There is rubber matting throughout.In the top corner of the site there is a separate LOOSE CATTLE HOUSE 45' x 15' fronting a concreted yard.

THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING

Unusually the property includes a large modern building which has been part commercially let for a number of years to a local veterinary practice serving the Roseland Peninsula. The overall building affords approximately 5,500 sq ft of accommodation and the vets occupy approximately one-quarter of this space. (Details of the income and lease arrangements are available on request). In previous years other parts of the building were let as rural workshops but latterly the building has been left vacant or utilised for agricultural implements.

THE LAND

The total site extends to 6.29 acres or thereabouts and includes four railed or fenced paddocks each with water connected. The land is in grass and is flanked by a shelter belt of woodland.
