DESCRIPTION Chatsworth House and Apartments are found in a desirable and exciting south facing position on the edge of Newquay, but still close to the boating lake, beaches and facilities. Rarely for a house on the north coast of Cornwall it enjoys a superb southerly outlook over the tidal waters of the sandy Gannel Estuary to countryside beyond. There is almost immediate access to the estuary on the other side of Gannel Road and it is possible to walk along the edge of the estuary around to Crantock Beach and this is a much favoured route by surfers and dog walkers as well as horse riders. The exact position of the house has meant that its two integral apartments, which were purpose built within the property, have proved to be extremely popular in the summer months with holidaymakers with current peak rates being £850 per week for the two bedroomed apartment and £595 per week for the one

Ref: LCAA6879 3 bedroomed apartment. Further information can be seen at www.chatsworthapartments.co.uk. The house was built for a prominent local businessman and has since been greatly improved and updated by our clients during their ownership. In addition to updated sealed unit double glazing throughout, the house has a mains gas central heating system with two zoned boilers, all bathrooms have been refitted, a CCTV security system is in place and all of the balconies have been re-floored in fibreglass with new glass balustrades. The scale of the property cannot fully be gauged even from the roadside and it is not until one enters that the full impact of the size of the rooms and ceiling heights is felt. A 24’ x 17’ reception hall begins the accommodation with a large amount of hardwood double glazing to the front and a turning light oak staircase rising to the first floor. As well as a cloaks cupboard there are two stores, a door into the 27’ x 22’ garage and a further door opening into a hall leading to apartment 2 allowing it to be brought into the house accommodation or simply for maintenance access. Also on this level are two generous double bedrooms, a huge study and a large bathroom with his and hers wash basins, a walk-in shower enclosure to one end and a large corner bath to the other. At the top of the stairs is a generous landing with the master bedroom, its en-suite, a wc and a further bedroom which could also be ideal as a dressing room to one side. To the other side doors open into the kitchen and a 22’ square lounge with a near full wall of double glazed windows facing south over the estuary. The lounge opens onto a 24’ x 11’ south and west facing balcony, whilst the master bedroom opens onto an equally impressive south and east facing balcony. On the western end of the first floor with a near full glazed wall of sliding doors opening onto the balcony and facing the estuary, is a 24’ square dining room with a built-in bar across its rear. Both lounge and dining room have glazed internal doors opening into the 30’ long kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a vast amount of handmade light oak units under quartz composite worktops and including a central island. Off the kitchen is a further balcony

Ref: LCAA6879 4 at the rear which also acts as a walkway down to the rear garden. The scale of the rooms is only amplified by their 9’ high ceilings on the first floor and it is extremely rare to find any modern low maintenance home with these kind of proportions. To the side of the house is a recessed lobby with individual doors into each of the apartments. Both of the apartments are found on the ground floor of the western side of the house and are divided away from the main house ground floor accommodation by the integral double garage and also a lockable hall and boiler room, thus creating excellent sound insulation. The one bedroomed apartment is found at the front with views to the estuary whilst to the rear is the two bedroomed apartment, with its largest bedroom being accessible from the main house and therefore it would be possible to use it as a one bedroomed apartment including this room as part of the house. The house is set to the rear of its about ⅔ of an acre plot and faces south down over its gardens. The land slopes giving more elevated views from the house and upper part of the garden, although the estuary and outlook can still be seen from terraces within the lawns. The driveway sweeps up through the garden lined by stone walls that are topped by a beautiful array of many different flowering plants, whilst the boundaries are edged with trees and shrubs. To the rear are areas of hard landscaping and a greenhouse, with the majority of the rear garden being fenced in making it ideal for leaving pets outside. In short, either a superlative family residence of outstanding size or, alternatively, surely the ultimate luxurious house for retirement and holiday lettings income from the first class apartments.

Ref: LCAA6879 5 LOCATION The house is close to shops and services, schools, a sports centre, a doctors and dentists and even the branch line railway station which links to the main Penzance to Paddington line. The town of Newquay caters for all day to day needs and has miles of beautiful coastline and golden sandy beaches. The area has much to offer including being the UK’s surfing hub with the renowned Fistral Beach being used for many national and internal championships. There are many other beaches in the immediate area from which to enjoy the fantastically clear waters including Towan, Watergate, Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze, with many other beautiful bays stretching along the coastline in both directions. Newquay Zoo is within walking distance of the property and is Cornwall’s foremost zoo and on the way one will pass a picturesque boating lake.

Much of the Cornish coastline is protected and in the ownership of the National Trust and the South West Coastal Path taking in some of Great Britain’s most incredible scenery. Amongst other activities there are many quality golf courses nearby including at Newquay, Perranporth, Truro and Killiow and indeed numerous sailing clubs along the south Cornish coast with the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) being little more than half an hour’s drive away. Road access to the area is excellent with the A30 expressway being only a few miles to the south and this runs throughout Cornwall, linking to the motorway network at Exeter. The Atlantic Highway passes by Newquay and continues along the north Cornish coast eventually arriving in north Devon. Under half an hour’s drive to the south is the Cathedral City of Truro which is Cornwall’s capital and offers the widest range of retail, commercial and entertainment facilities in Cornwall as well as having three private schools.
