DESCRIPTION Doublegates is an interesting 1970’s house that has been thoroughly renovated and dramatically updated by our clients over the last 6 years. They chose this house because of its location, layout and potential, all of which are still relevant. The works to the property include, but are not limited to, powder coated aluminium windows and external doors, new garage doors, replastering of walls and ceilings, new flooring with insulation, contemporary architraves and skirtings, majority rewiring with Hamilton contemporary super thin

switches and sockets, spotlights and contemporary wall lights, loft insulation and plumbing including a Gledhill pressurised hot water cylinder future proofed for solar water heating. The bathroom has been completely renovated with Kohler sanitaryware, Roca taps and a separate Matki built-in shower. The kitchen has been extended into under used store rooms to create a much better open-plan kitchen/breakfast room fitted with high end high gloss white and high gloss wood effect units with De Dietrich and Siemens integrated high end appliances. In addition the Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and Panasonic fridge/freezer will also be included in the sale as they were bought to specifically match the kitchen. In addition to the rooms already mentioned a generous hall opens to a dual aspect lounge with a contemporary Hase Modena woodburning stove with glazing on three sides. Glazed doors open throughout the ground floor with double doors linking the lounge to the dining room which also has a huge double glazed door to the garden and a further internal door to the kitchen. A small inner hall gives access to a contemporary wc and the integral garage which could be brought into the accommodation as an additional room if desirable and subject to all necessary consents. On the first floor are four double bedrooms with the two largest being at the front and both of these have an oblique view to the Carrick Roads and the Roseland Peninsula beyond. One of these two rooms also opens onto the large roof terrace which spans over a covered walkway and second linked garage and many would consider this to be space better utilised for additional bedrooms or bathrooms. There is also the potential to extend over a portion of the ground floor to the rear, although of course none of this is at all necessary as this is an already exceptional home.

Outside the boxes are ticked with driveway parking for two or three cars in front of the garages, a hard landscaped garden outside of the lounge window, an ideal area for storing a small boat behind the second through garage and at the rear of the house is a gorgeous level lawned garden which has been completely restocked by our clients creating a beautiful and very private outdoor space.

LOCATION Another of Doublegates’ exceptional attributes is its location on the prime Feock peninsula, quietly positioned off a private cul-de-sac, close to the sailing facilities of Loe Beach. Loe Beach faces south over the Carrick Roads which offer some of the most idyllic and tranquil sailing waters found anywhere along the south coast of Britain. There is a well regarded café and a popular sailing school along with a water craft hire business just behind the beach, which acts as the hub of the areas social life during the summer months. For those with their own boats there is a large dinghy park and car park on site, whilst there is a slipway and deep water moorings for larger vessels. The local gig club also rows from here and with all these activities going on it is also an interesting place to just lie on the beach and while away the hours.

Truro, the cathedral capital city of Cornwall, is around 4 miles away and offers exceptional facilities including a cinema, theatre, farmer’s markets, well regarded bars, restaurants and cafés and a great selection of shops amongst the Victorian and Georgian streets. There are primary schools at Devoran and Kea whilst secondary schooling is in Truro where there are also three independent schools. Truro is the main administrative centre of the county and has the largest hospital as well as a mainline railway station on the Penzance to Paddington line.
