A gorgeous Georgian country house offering spacious accommodation throughout with 5 bedrooms, an annexe and 3 cottages, all set in circa 1.4 acres of gardens and grounds.
Sancreed House is a beautiful Georgian residence nestled in a peaceful village just a short distance from Penzance and Newlyn. The property was originally a rectory and in the 1960s became the home of Cornish artist John Miller. Sancreed House is presented in exceptional condition throughout and the gardens and grounds create a wonderful backdrop. The approach leads into a broad courtyard set to the front of the house with the gardens set to the side and rear. The house offers a wonderful feeling of peace and tranquillity but also of quality with its handsome Georgian proportions. Entering into the impressive hallway, the study is set immediately to the left overlooking the courtyard. The sitting room is a lovely and spacious dual aspect room looking out to the garden and courtyard. The dining room offers a wonderful outlook right across the main garden area and the lovely high ceilings throughout just add to the sense of space. To the side is the wonderful kitchen with a central island, lots of storage and in addition a useful cloakroom. The utility is of ample size and just beyond is a store room that has huge potential for all manner of purposes.
Upstairs there are five wonderful, bright en suite bedrooms; all of good size and offering very comfortable accommodation. Within the grounds there are, in addition, a self-contained two-bedroom annexe as well as 3 self-contained one-bedroom cottages which provide a useful income or can be utilised for family and friends.
The approach to Sancreed House is very pleasant opening into a broad courtyard with ample parking and a garage. The main garden is all set to the side and rear and is landscaped with a broad terrace stretching from the house and leading to the lawn. In addition, there is a superb swimming pool complex and three attractive cottages. Beyond this is a further garden with seasonal views to the coast and countryside, with a raised patio to enjoy its outlook.
Sancreed is a very pretty village set just inland from Penzance with all the shopping facilities that the town offers as well as a mainline railway station to London Paddington and flights to the isles of Scilly. Penzance is a charming and vibrant town on the south-facing shores of Mounts Bay, with the seafront vista dominated by the iconic St Michaels Mount. Along the Promenade is the fantastic outdoor Art Deco Jubilee pool. The town offers a host of independent shops, cafes and restaurants along with a variety of charming Georgian buildings as well as the stunning sub-tropical Morrab Gardens and Penlee Park.
A short distance away is the fishing port of Newlyn, famous for its School of Art. A little further along is the beautiful village of Mousehole. St Ives is a major attraction with its stunning beaches, independent boutique shops, Tate gallery and restaurants.
