For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Roskrow, Penryn, Cornwall, TR10£2,000,000

A magnificent contemporary home, very privately set within 9 acres, with stylishly designed accommodation in a beautiful, secluded, rural location in West Cornwall. Menkea Wartha enjoys an idyllic, rural setting that provides exceptional levels of privacy and peaceful seclusion. The orientation and elevation of the site were carefully considered and chosen to ensure privacy, maximum sunlight and elevation, to afford views over and above the surrounding woodland and meadow, as well as good shelter and effective water runoff The house was imaginatively extended, stylishly remodelled and significantly increased in size in 2009, with the construction of a traditional oak frame that takes full advantage of those original considerations and that complements uninterrupted views of its private land and woodland beyond from a 40’ kitchen diner (approx) that has a range cooker, traditional heavy slate flagstone floor, polished local granite topped island unit, oak framed windows and a traditional open fireplace. This kitchen/dining area opens out onto a large oak gazebo/alfresco dining area, framed in the same traditional style as the main house extension. Additionally, there is a boot room/utility room leading off the kitchen area, with a double Belfast sink and units to match the main kitchen. Here there are cupboards housing the washing machine, tumble drier and the oil fired unit that heats this section of the house. Leading directly from the kitchen/diner via an obscured glass panelled door there are two bedrooms, one of which is en suite with both a shower and a bath. There is also plenty of full height cupboard space . The other bedroom is adjacent to a modern, cleanly tiled shower room that serves as a ‘day guest room/wc’ and also as an en suite to the second bedroom, with additional full height cupboard/wardrobe space. From the kitchen/dining area, an open beamed entrance leads to a glass fronted gallery that overlooks the main living room. The gallery serves as a relaxed sitting area and study that maximises magnificent elevated views across the valley to the woodland and an unbroken southern skyline beyond. A 400’sq (approx) vaulted principal bedroom lies behind the gallery with two double glass doors opening from each end. The master suite comprises one bathroom that has a traditional roll top bath and the other has a spacious shower room, both have wc’s. The windows are oak framed throughout and look out over the rear and side gardens and both the land and the location. All of the living areas face south/south west shrubberies. There is underfloor heating from a ground source heat pump throughout this area and there are numerous built-in cupboards and wardrobes. Below the gallery, lies a stunning main living area of some 600’sq with a 25’ high (approx) vaulted ceiling and a Mandarin Stone tiled floor that enjoys underfloor heating from a ground source heat pump. To the rear end of this room there is a lounge area with an impressive wood burning stove that has a feature stone alcove/surround and heavy oak lintel. To the other end of the living area, surrounded by glass, greenery and sky, a full height glazed gable end window brings nature and the interior together to create a quite unique environment. Behind the living area, the tiled stone floor continues into a 550’sq Guest Suite that includes a roll top bath with chrome mixer tap and a separate shower handle with hose. There is also a matching chrome wash stand and large, traditional style hand basin. The grounds are bordered by natural woodland providing privacy and seclusion and encouraging a variety of wild flora and deer can be seen grazing the lower meadow along the tree line. Wild geese nest on the lake’s island each Spring, vying for food with a family of ducks. The woodland animals are more shy but are watched by buzzards that wheel in the skies above. Birdsong is ever present in the bushes beside the gazebo and round the house where the feeders are always busy. Menkea is truly a paradise for wildlife and for those that enjoy watching it.
