Whitehall Scorrier, Redruth £675,000

Why You'll Like It

This characterful three bedroom detached thatched property is thought to date from the late 1800s although there has been a building on site since 1542 we are told. The property is a former forge and stands in attractive garden grounds exceeding an acre and landscaped with an array of mature trees punctuated by delightful sunny clearings and lawns and is not a listed building. There is a covered swimming pool with adjacent sauna, a chalet style annexe, and a useful stable building plus a large office outbuilding and two further outbuildings. The forge would benefit from some updating, however is offered in very liveable condition where it is expected that a buyer would move right in and perhaps update over time. There is a great deal of potential to further develop and improve the various outbuildings making this a very exciting property.

Why You'll Like It Continued...

The property is thatched and is thought to have been re-thatched in the region of five years ago with water Reed thatch which is favoured for its longevity. Conveniently located adjacent to the B3298, the property is perfectly placed for access to nearby major towns including Truro Redruth and Falmouth as well as the villages of Chacewater, Blackwater and St Day. The main A30 is not too far away for access throughout Cornwall and the Bissoe cycle trail passes fairly near to the property. The Forge has a generous driveway for parking and turning along with a single garage and further lean-to garage to the side. There's a gorgeous sun trap patio at the entrance to the property and the front door is a pretty stable door with leaded glass.

Inside The Property

Stepping inside we enter a handy porch with feature round windows to the sides before entering a large reception dining room where there is an oil fired Rayburn and stairs to the first floor. To one end of the property is a very large living room with picture window surveying the pretty plants of the well-stocked garden, great ceiling height and an impressive stone fire place, and to the other is a galley style kitchen with a range of base, wall and tower units in oak style with tiled work surfaces and integrated appliances. There's a built in fridge, oven and microwave with separate hob and space and plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher and the kitchen leads into a utility area with back door and space and power for tumble dryer before you enter the large ground floor dual aspect primary bedroom suite where there is fitted bedroom furniture and two large leaded light windows looking out to the garden. The en-suite shower room has a simple tiled shower enclosure with thermostatic mixer shower, pedestal basin and WC. There is a further ground floor family bathroom and separate cloakroom / WC. Heading upstairs there are two further bedrooms which are both spacious doubles and have delightful views down into the garden.

Gardens And Grounds

Outside the gardens and grounds are thought to exceed 1.1 acres and have a network of paths in a thoughtfully laid out garden with distinct areas planted around sunny relatively level lawns. The swimming pool is covered by a timber and corrugated plastic structure and has an adjacent sauna outbuilding. There is a fairly historic chalet / annexe / workshop on site which many would want to update or upgrade but which illustrates the potential. All of the outbuildings have power connected. Walking around the garden you come across numerous interesting plants and trees and there is a greenhouse, some historic stone walling and a stable block again offering fantastic potential. This unusual property absolutely must be viewed to appreciate the beautiful setting, character and outstanding future potential.
