Description
THE PROPERTY
Penmere is an outstanding Victorian detached residence built in 1881 set in a lovely, richly stocked garden on the edge of the village. We believe Penmere to be one of the finest homes in Mylor, providing a quality, elegance and size that we seldom see. The house is arranged on four floors with some lovely views overlooking the garden to Mylor Creek, shoreline and countryside beyond. We love the fine main entrance and hallway with tessellated tile floor and the staircase and generous landing areas all befitting of a home of considerable standing. The ground, first and attic floors are a delight, providing five bedrooms, three of which are en suite, and a total of five bath or shower rooms in all. The master bedroom suite is superb with its bayed window, river views, fireplace and superb adjacent dressing room and very luxurious and large bath/shower room en suite. 'Living' accommodation is generous, too, with sitting and dining rooms joined as one fine 32' long space, beside which is the superb conservatory flowing easily on to the terrace and gardens. There is a study and a thoughtfully planned, good quality 'cooks' kitchen with range cooker and adjacent utility kitchen. The lower ground floor is independently accessible externally and by staircase within, allowing great flexibility for use of its four rooms and shower room/WC. A sizeable boiler room houses the newly installed Worcester Greenstar oil fired condensing boiler (7 year warranty) with Hive Wi-Fi remote control. Penmere is accessed off Rosehill with parking space and a detached recently built garage with remotely opened door. The richly stocked landscaped garden is established and lovely with lawn and generous areas of quality paved and timber decked terraces to enjoy summer sunshine for much of the day. Property in Mylor of this quality, size and standing are rarely available and we wholeheartedly recommend you view and experience this very special home.
THE LOCATION
Penmere is positioned on the edge of Mylor, moments from the creek and just a third of a mile from the village centre, pub and shops. Mylor Bridge is a thriving and much sought after Creekside village with an active community and good local amenities including a primary school, church, the Lemon Arms pub, well stocked village store and Post Office, Newsagents, Hairdresser, Dentist, award winning Butcher's shop and a Fish seller. There are two pre-school playgroups, tennis courts, a Bowling Green and a children's play area. There is also a regular bus service running to and from Falmouth and Truro. The village is located approximately 4 miles from Falmouth harbour town and 8 miles from the Cathedral city of Truro, each having comprehensive schooling, shopping, business and recreational facilities. The delightful harbourside village of Flushing is about 2.5 miles away. Mylor Creek is a tributary of the River Fal and leads into the Carrick Roads with access to some of the finest day sailing waters available. For the sailing and boating fraternity, the creek offers outstanding and exciting opportunities. There is a boatyard and a number of active local sailing clubs including those at Restronguet, Mylor, Flushing and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour is about 1¾ miles away and provides excellent facilities including a marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, Chandlers and a full range of Marine services, along with two restaurants and a general store/café.
