The front door and porch leads through to a reception hallway with stairs that lead up to the first floor. Off the hallway is an office and to the rear is an open plan kitchen/ breakfast/dining room with sliding doors that lead out onto a spacious terrace with views out across Falmouth Bay to St Mawes and Gorran Haven in the far distance. Next to the dining area is a lovely sitting room that has an open fireplace and views through the large window to Falmouth Bay beyond. Also off the kitchen is a utility room which links the second part of the house on the ground floor. This consists of a TV room/family room that leads through to 2 further rooms and a bathroom. These three rooms could be converted into a ground floor, one bedroom, self-contained annexe. Behind the family room is a cinema room/games room that leads through to the gymnasium. Leading off to the side of the games room is a study with French doors out to a courtyard garden. Attached to the study and accessed from the exterior is a double garage.
Stairs from the reception hallway lead up to the first floor landing and corridor off which are seven en suite bedrooms, of which six have coastal views.

Development Potential
Subject to gaining the necessary consents, the property offers significant and exciting development potential, both on the site of the existing house and within the orchard.
Tregildry sits in a wonderful, elevated and commanding position on the Lizard Peninsula high above Gillan Creek, immediately to the south of the entrance to the Helford River. It lies in the midst of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Gillan Cove has just a dozen or so houses, a small sandy beach, a stone quay, and from which there are numerous scenic creekside and coastal walks. The Creek is home to an amazing collection of seabirds throughout the year.
Less than two miles away is the historic village of Manaccan, with colour-washed thatched cottages and 12th century church, famous for its 200 year old fig tree growing out of
the steeple wall. There is The Shipwrights Arms pub which can be found nestled on the banks of the glorious Helford river. Three miles away is the larger village of St Keverne with two pubs, a butcher's shop, general stores, newsagent, health centre and Greenhouse restaurant.
The area is renowned for its wealth of stunning coastal walks. A beautiful 3-mile coastal walk takes you from the house to Porthallow and the Five Pilchards Inn and Fat Apples café, both well-worth a visit. The walks from the house along Gillan Creek, the Helford River and to
Frenchman's Creek, the setting for Daphne du Maurier's famous novel, are arguably some of the most picturesque in the Country.
