Atemberaubende Wohnung Am Wasser

PROPERTY:
Having been developed from two apartments in the building, this property is double the size of its neighbours. Offering two floors of flexible accommodation with three bedrooms and three reception rooms, one of which could be easily adapted) into a fourth bedroom and three bathrooms (1 an en-suite shower).

Alternately a self-contained ‘annexe’ with its own entrance could be created with minor modification. The living room, second reception room and two of the bedrooms all benefit from scenic water views.

Converted from a Victorian building the property has plenty of character and style. Overlooking a large garden which is available to all the owners to enjoy, the house sits proudly near the banks of the Hayle Estuary.

Entering the property directly from a short (10 steps) flight of stairs at the rear of the house near the garages, an inner hall with a large cupboard leads to a kitchen with a range of base and wall mounted handleless cabinets with a built in oven with gas hob and extractor over. There is a built in dishwasher and fridge/ freezer.

Moving further into the accommodation there is a dining area which opens into a large living room. Superb views are provided by the triple aspect bay window from this room.

There is a bathroom on this floor and an internal staircase leading upstairs with a very large under the stairs cupboard.

On the top floor there are three bedrooms, two of which offer lovely water views. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room.

The kitchen of the former upstairs flat is now used as a utility room and there is another family bathroom on this floor. A large ([hidden information]) second sitting room is currently used as an artist’s studio space with its inspiring views. This room also has a very large cupboard for storage.

The combination of the two apartments has been done well and has created a peaceful, light-filled home of nearly 1900sq.ft, within a handsome building in a picturesque location in the village.

Outside, the property, uniquely, has three parking spaces including a lock up garage with a small work-space at the back. There are also two lock up storage cages for surfboards, golf clubs etc.

To the front of the building is the aforementioned garden which is nicely landscaped and maintained with a corner seating area for alfresco dining which catches the sun till late. There is additional designated parking to the front of the building.

The property could be available mostly furnished if desired - all the furniture was bought for this space. This is a chain free sale.

SURROUNDING AREA
The property is situated on an exclusive lane above The Saltings which borders the Hayle Estuary, in the centre of the popular village of Lelant.

Local village amenities include a public house, a Medieval Parish Church and the West Cornwall golf club which is just a short walk away on the edge of the village. The Hayle Estuary, Porth Kidney Sands and coastal path are just a few minutes walk away.

Up the road is Carbis Bay, a popular village overlooking the sparkling waters of St Ives Bay.
