DESCRIPTION• Cosawes Pascoe represents a fantastic

opportunity to acquire a distinctive, impressive home with significant kerb appeal, approached off a quiet lane, down a meandering driveway, bordered by some of the fields of the 23 acres of land. The house itself is in need of total modernisation and presents the ideal opportunity for a new lease of life to the precise tastes of its new owner. The cottage is very well kept and provides ideal ancillary accommodation for visiting friends and family, or as an income generating dwelling.

• There are an array of both modern and period outbuildings, most notably of which, a modern detached triple garage block, a modern stable block providing loose boxes for five horses plus a hay store and separate tack room. Offering the greatest potential of all, a very large L-shaped stone and granite detached two storey barn formerly having planning permission, which has now lapsed, for conversion into four dwellings. Subject to all necessary consents, this barn can clearly make a spectacular single dwelling or be converted for another use.

• The house sits at the bottom of its meandering tarmacadam driveway which descends from the quiet lane above, passing the gently sloping fields within the curtilage. Set to what would be considered the bottom of its plot, with its principal elevations and land being situated on the sunny southerly and westerly elevations. In total, 23.01 acres separated into six field enclosures plus the formal gardens, sand school and the lightly wooded valley boundary.

• Both the main house and its outbuildings are in need of a thorough scheme of modernisation, although some improvements have been made including re-slating both the main house and the large L-shaped stone and granite barn.

• Cosawes Pascoe is conveniently situated between the south Cornish coast and harbourside town of Falmouth, as well as the

north Cornish coast at Godrevy and Porthtowan, with Truro city centre, its commercial facilities and schooling being only approximately 15 minutes’ drive away.

LOCATIONCosawes Pascoe occupies a most attractive rural location, adjacent to unspoilt countryside but accessible to the nearby towns of Falmouth, Truro, Helston and Redruth. The nearby village of Ponsanooth (1 mile) provides day to day amenities with a village store, public house and highly regarded junior school with secondary schooling nearby at Penryn. There are excellent sailing facilities within easy reach at Mylor Harbour, Falmouth, Helford Passage and Feock. There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby at Falmouth and Truro. Sandy beaches are close by with golden sand north coast beaches at Chapel Porth and Porthtowan 20 minutes’ drive to the north and Maenporth and Swanpool just 10 minutes’ drive to the south. The area also abounds with many beautiful woodland and waterside walks in the close locality including Trelissick Gardens to the east and Glendurgan at Helford Passage to the south.

The main cathedral city of Truro lies just 15 minutes’ drive from the property which is the principal retailing, administrative and commercial centre of Cornwall and offers a wide and ever improving range of shopping, business, leisure and schooling facilities together with the architectural award winning County Court, Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske), the private Duchy Hospital and a multitude of professional offices and businesses. Centring on the cathedral, cobbled streets lead off to a variety of select specialist shops in addition to which most national retailers are represented. The Hall for Cornwall is the county’s main cultural venue. There are also a number of nurseries, junior and secondary schools in addition to private schooling; Truro High School and Truro School are widely regarded as two of Cornwall’s best.

OUTSIDECosawes Pascoe sits beautifully within its 23 acres of land and is the epitome of kerb appeal. A splayed entrance off a quiet country lane opens onto a well mettled driveway, bordered by fields, meandering down the gently sloping valley to a broad gravelled turning area/driveway in front of the main façade of the house, with a modern detached triple garage block ahead of you.

In total, 23.01 acres of gently sloping pasture bordered by mature hedge and tree lined boundaries with the vast majority of the land sitting on the sunny southerly and westerly side, with a formal lawned garden to the east. From the gravelled parking area there is a further opening through to a concreted inner forecourt which provides access into the utility room of the main property, a stable door into the lobby off the sitting room and a further

HOME OFFICE/WORKSHOP positioned in the single storey wing linking the main house to The Cottage. This room breaks the two properties, is not accessible directly from either and is only accessed off the forecourt. It could be a useful home office should one be required.

Across the forecourt is an impressive and voluminous L-shaped granite and stone unconverted barn which currently comprises a garden/implement store, storeroom and the ground floor as formerly utilised stables, plus two further store areas. The L-shaped first floor is separated into two very large rooms and can be used for a multitude of purposes. The L-shaped stone and granite barn previously had planning permission granted for conversion into four units, although this has since lapsed,

although it does illustrate that conversion to further dwellings is distinctly possible, or as one large residence, subject to necessary consents.

Completing the range of extensive outbuildings, there is a further open fronted garage/store, a corrugated re-roofed double garage sized log store, a single storey stone barn currently utilised as a tack room plus a further modern stable block and courtyard providing hay store, modern stabling for five plus a further tack room and store. From here a gently sloping path descends to the sand school and into the field plus access into the bull barn plus further modern agricultural open fronted tractor shed and an additional trailer shed/barn.
