House For Sale £1,600,000
Bodanna is a fabulous family home that is situated in a prime position with far-reaching views out across Carbis Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse in the distance. Bodanna was the original farmhouse in the locality and has retained its original period features and feel to this day. In recent years it has been extensively and meticulously extended, improved and renovated to an exceptionally high standard. In particular the wooden parquet flooring has been very sympathetically restored and improved. The kitchen is another particularly special feature as is the balcony off one of the bedrooms.
The property has two driveways, one off Treolyhan Park Road and the other off Treloyhan Manor Drive. The garden is spacious and gives a high degree of privacy and tranquility. There is ample parking beside the house for four or more vehicles in front of the detached double garage. A terrace in front of the house leads along to a door giving access into the open plan kitchen/living room. This entrance is flanked by lovely hand crafted glass wall night lights created by Jo Downs, one of the world's most respected fused glass designers. From the kitchen sink there are fabulous views out across the breakfast room and garden to the sea beyond. Next to the kitchen/breakfast room is the living room that has a lovely wooden parquet floor. Beyond the living room is the hallway that again has lovely wooden parquet flooring, a front door leading out to the parking area off Manor Drive and also a door leading out to the front terrace. Stairs lead up to the first floor and there is an under-stair cupboard. Beyond the hallway is the sitting room which has an open fireplace with a granite surround and a wood burner within. The high ceiling has beams and this room has retained its original features and feel from the days of when it was a farmhouse.
Stairs lead up to the first floor landing and corridor off which are four bedrooms and a family bathroom (with a bath and shower over it). The principal bedroom has stunning views out across Carbis Bay and Godrevy Lighthouse from the bed that is raised on a platform. There are built-in cupboards and a walk-in wardrobe. There is an en suite bathroom with both a bath and a shower. There are three guest bedrooms. The far bedroom has some of the best views from the house and a door leads out onto a small balcony. This bedroom has an en suite bathroom (with a shower over the bath). There is also an airing cupboard within which is a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Annexe
Beside the house and attached to it is a one bedroom annexe with its own separate front door at the rear. This annexe uses the driveway off Manor Drive. The kitchen/breakfast/sitting room leads through to a bedroom with sea views and a shower room with electric underfloor heating. The kitchen has induction hobs and an oven. It could be possible to reinstate an internal door linking the annexe through to the kitchen/breakfast room within the main house.
Garage and studio
Above the detached double garage and accessed via external wooden steps is an artist studio. It has three v-Lux windows allowing natural light to flood in to the eaves. It has a separate WC. In addition to the annexe and main house this could be used as the six bedroom if required. The double garage below is equipped and fitted out as a workshop and has an electric roller door.
Outbuildings, gardens and grounds
Outside, the house is surrounded by a lovely mature garden. On the roadside there is a lovely large beach tree with a Tree Preservation Order on it and rear parking and gates off Manor Drive. Across the front of the house is a terrace that is ideal for outside entertaining and alfresco dining. A side path leads down to a barbecue area below which is a summer house. There is a lovely myrtle tree in the garden, eucalyptus tree and a Victoria plum tree. Central to the garden is a lovely lawn that has an automatic mower that greatly enhances the quality of the lawn.
North Cornish Coast
The clarity of light, sandy beaches and turquoise waters of St Ives have attracted artists and those seeking an outstanding quality of life since the 19th century. Centred on a working harbour, the winding cobbled streets that were once the homes and inns of sailors and fishermen are now vibrant with restaurants, pubs and cafés; showcasing Cornwall's fabulous delicacies. The cliff top walks to the west of St Ives are exhilarating while boutiques and galleries provide a more tranquil afternoon. Most notably, the town is now also home to the landmark Tate Gallery, the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Bernard Leach Pottery.
Outdoor activities: Behind the property and well away from the house, Hain Walk forms part of the South West Coast Path and links Carbis Bay Beach and the rail station to Porthminster Beach in St Ives which is home to the awardwinning Porthminster Beach Café. These are two of the most sheltered beaches in the area, ideal for swimming and more leisurely water sports. There is excellent surfing at both Porthmeor Beach and at St Ives Bay.
Overlooking the Hayle Estuary at nearby Lelant (2.5 miles), there is a spectacular links golf course with views stretching
up towards Godrevy Lighthouse. Travel: A branch railway line links St Ives to the main Penzance to Paddington line at St Erth (5.5 miles) with trains from there taking about 5 hours to reach London. Newquay Airport is about 40 miles away and offers daily
flights to London Stansted, London Gatwick and a growing number of cities across the UK.
Recent and on-going improvements to the main A30 Trunk Road now provide fast access to the M5 motorway network at Exeter.
Shopping: The towns of both St Ives and Carbis Bay are well served with doctors, dentists, professional services, shopping including supermarkets, a leisure centre and schooling. There are many cafés, bars and restaurants around St Ives harbour and the area is renowned for its artist community with plenty of galleries.
