SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Large porch, hall with study area, lounge, dining room semi open-plan to a kitchen/breakfast room. Utility room, wc. 5 double bedrooms, bathroom, shower room. Outside: plentiful driveway parking and attached garage. Long established boundaries giving privacy. Front and rear lawned gardens with planted borders. In all, about 0.2 of an acre. DESCRIPTION Set back from the desirable Mount George Road in Penelewey, which leads out into countryside and to footpaths around the creeks of the river Fal and the National Trust owned Trelissick House and gardens, The Fringle is evidently in a desirable location. This sizeable detached bungalow stands near centrally within its generous plot of about 0.2 of an acre. To the front and rear are level lawned gardens that enjoy a high degree of seclusion behind a hedged topped stone walled frontage with further hedging, trees and interesting shrubs around the boundaries. Outside of the kitchen to the rear is a deck and in the corner of the garden is a concrete pad well placed for a new shed. To the front is off-road parking for numerous vehicles and access to the garage which is attached to the main accommodation.

Inside one will find a spacious home ideal for family living with an initial very large porch then opening through to a double width hall running through the centre of the building. To the front are the reception rooms and kitchen, all of which enjoy a southerly aspect and large windows, with the lounge being dual aspect and the kitchen also having a full wall of glazing onto the back garden. Off the kitchen is a utility room and separate wc. As the hall extends further into the property it significantly broadens providing space for furniture or potentially for two desks. In total there are five double bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room. The Fringle is very well presented throughout and has proved to be an ideal family home so close to schooling and children’s activities both in Truro and on the waters around the Carrick Roads. A new owner could certainly enjoy a similar lifestyle but for those who are looking to possibly downsize to a spacious bungalow then there is also potential to alter the accommodation layout to provide less but larger rooms. Other properties in the road have converted their roof spaces with the addition of dormer windows and there is certainly the potential to do this with The Fringle, subject to all necessary consents. We expect that there would be excellent views from the first floor beyond the hedges towards the countryside surrounding the Fal River to the south east.

LOCATION Penelewey is a highly regarded small village between Playing Place and Feock, with the thatched Punchbowl & Ladle Inn at its heart. The surrounding countryside is unspoilt with footpaths and quiet lanes to the east leading to the creeks around Cowlands, Roundwood Quay and linking into the National Trust owned Trelissick House estate. A further path from Penelewey leads through Come-to-Good and continues down the valley to Restronguet Creek. There are excellent sailing and water sports facilities nearby with moorings and sailing tuition at Loe Beach, Feock, a marina and moorings at Mylor and further opportunities around Falmouth. The nearby King Harry Car Ferry gives very convenient access to the Roseland Peninsula with its beautiful coastline and beaches and cliffs interspersed with waterside villages. There are golf courses nearby at both Truro and Falmouth.

Playing Place is the closest village to the south of Truro and is well served with a large village store/post office and filing station. There are primary schools of the highest repute at Kea and Devoran with the area falling under the catchment for Penair Secondary School. Truro School and Truro High School for Girls are within easy reach as is Truro College at Gloweth as are both the Royal Cornwall and Duchy Hospitals. The centre of Truro is about 3 miles away with Falmouth being about 9 miles to the south. Between them Truro and Falmouth have the largest number of national and local retailers in Cornwall, a full range of professional services, many job opportunities and there is a mainline railway station at Truro on the Penzance to London Paddington line.
