Grey Roofs is a fabulous waterside single-storey residence set on the edge of the stunning Restronguet Creek in Cornwall. The property has bright airy rooms, much of which are focused towards the water to make the most of the views.
* Waterside position with panoramic views * Direct frontage to the creek * Spacious contemporary accommodation * Gently sloping landscaped gardens * Four bedrooms and three bathrooms plus family room and sitting room
Inside, character features include the vaulted ceiling features, stone floor and beautiful ‘minster' fireplace in the family room. A series of doors open to the terrace, which is perfect for outdoor relaxing or entertaining. The sitting room is equally impressive with its grand arch topped window and stunning views.
The master bedroom overlooks the family room, while the other three further bedrooms are set out on the opposite side of the property. Bedroom three is currently used as an office and there is a further study set conveniently just off the family room.
The property is very flexible in its use and could be further altered: for instance, the current master bedroom could be used as a reception room and there is potential for an extension beyond the ensuite to create a whole new area, subject to the necessary consents.
The gardens are set out to the rear, and sweep down from the sun terrace to the water's edge over a gently sloping lawn. On either side are attractive borders made up with many specimen shrubs. In prime position is a lovely decked area which is perfect for soaking up the sun whilst admiring the spectacular views up and down the creek. Steps lead down to the foreshore, which is ideal for boating enthusiasts.
Grey Roofs is located in the stunning area between Falmouth and Truro, encompassing Mylor, Feock and Restronguet, which is renowned for its outstanding sailing waters and wonderful views. Truro is approximately five miles away, whilst the colourful harbour town of Falmouth is 10 miles. The position over the calm tidal creek and rolling countryside beyond is a boatowners' paradise and provides an ideal hideaway for a tranquil home or holiday.
The guide price is £995,000. For further information please contact Savills on 01872 243 200 or visit www.savills.co.uk.
