House For Sale £1,350,000
A RURALLY SITUATED SOUTH FACING ENERGY EFFICIENT COUNTRY HOUSE WITH ATTRACTIVE VIEWS, SET WITHIN ABOUT 16.11 ACRES OF PASTURE
Higher Redallon was built in 2013 to an individual design influenced by the current vendors and inspired by New England style architecture. Its construction is of a modern energy efficient timber frame externally clad in horizontal pine boards painted a delicate shade of blue-green beneath a slate tiled roof. The main south facing facade has an overhanging roof line with glazed sections allowing the south light to flood in, a raised veranda and central front door. The west wing of the house has a substantial stone built chimney stack being of German design to allow for smoke free open fires. The house has traditional timber casement windows and doors and internally exposed floorboards throughout.
The accommodation which is set out over two floor levels is well appointed with superbly proportioned rooms all presented in a relaxed country house style. The internal arrangement of rooms allows for a versatile plan whereby more bedrooms or reception rooms could be increased or decreased to suit a new owner’s specific needs.
Higher Redallon is conveniently situated in open countryside with no near neighbours allowing a good level of privacy. One of the special features of the property is its secluded position enjoying a sylvan setting sheltered by specimen trees such as Scots Pines and Monterey Cypress, indicative of a Cornish landscape. The result is a largely secret setting with glimpses out over the land to the north. The property is approached off the Hayle Road along a substantial sweeping drive leading to the front of the coach house. A spur in the drive continues past the house terminating in a turning area to the side of the store. Set slightly back from the house is a substantial coach house with accommodation above, capable of housing two large vehicles all built in a matching style to the house. A pedestrian door to the front elevation allows access to a useful ground floor shower room and a utility/plant room housing the mechanical and electrical installations. A staircase from the lobby rises to a first floor media room with storage voids beyond to a large roof space above the garage.
In brief the superb accommodation includes:
• Secure entrance porch with internal glazed screens and entrance door.
• Impressive double height staircase hall leading to a galleried landing with fitted bookshelves forms the central section of the house.
• The charming drawing room with distant views is double aspect with a door to the garden and has a semi vaulted ceiling giving a good feeling of space and light with a substantial chimney breast housing an open fire with granite slips, Delabole Slate mantel and hearth.
• A spacious triple aspect kitchen/family room well suited to family entertaining. The kitchen itself comprises an extensive range of cupboards and drawers, a double sink with granite work surfaces to each side and a range of integrated appliances. A pedestrian door leads to outside.
• Two ground floor double bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a well appointed family bathroom.
• First floor double aspect master suite with views, dressing room and part panelled en suite bathroom
• Guest Bedroom with distant views and a well fitted shower room.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The informal gardens and grounds surround the house and are simple in design being left largely to nature as a wild garden with mown pathways. Adjacent to the rear of the house off the drawing room is a further covered veranda with a step down to a larger paved seating area ideal for al fresco summer dining to take advantage of the uninterrupted views leading to an enclosed lawned area. There is a dedicated area for growing vegetables and another containing old fashioned varieties of roses used for cut flowers. In the garden set at right angles to the house is a useful concrete block built store beneath a corrugated sheet roof originally a small dairy parlour with water and electricity laid on. Potential exits to convert to provide a small annexe or studio (subject the usual planning consents being obtained) beyond which is further area of level lawn and a habitable static caravan.
THE LAND
The pastureland comprises four large meadows gently rising in topography roughly north to south each separated by established hedgerows being a haven for native flora and fauna. In all about 16.11 acres.
Offered for sale for the first time since being built by the current owners the property is likely to have particular appeal to lifestyle buyers looking for a house with land with scope for a wide variety of uses as well as having the potential to extend if so desired (again subject to the usual planning consents being obtained).

Higher Redallon historically formed part of the nearby Godolphin Estate in unspoilt and sparsely populated countryside yet well placed for both north and south coasts and West Penwith. The name Nancegollan comes from the Cornish language words nans, meaning ‘valley’, and Igolen, meaning ‘whetstone’. Nancegollan itself, is located in the Parish of Crowan south east of Leedstown a small rural village with an active community with a thriving café and village hall.

The Lizard is England’s most southerly point, is famous for shipwrecks and renowned for its natural beauty and dramatic landscapes with much of the area designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside and coastline much of which is protected by The National Trust is famed for geology and history plays home to magnificent beaches and pretty fishing villages.
