THE SITUATION
Ponjeravah is a small hamlet on the fringe of Constantine, a well served village approximately 7 miles from Falmouth. One can walk to Constantine in around 5 minutes, as well as the beautiful valley walk to Polwheveral Creek accessing the banks of The Helford River, one of the Country’s most beautiful and unspoilt estuaries and a designated area of outstanding natural beauty with stunning day sailing waters. Consequently, places for launching a boat, kayak or paddle board are readily available nearby at Port Navas Yacht Club, Helford Passage and Gweek Boatyard.
HISTORY OF MANOR MILL
Early records indicate that Manor Mill (formerly known as Churchtown Mill) was likely to be constructed around 1840. The working mill section of the building was converted into residential accommodation by local renowned builder Gerald Trethowan around 1955 and Gerald’s grandson David built the living room extension and principal bedroom in 2001.
THE PROPERTY
Approached by its own long private driveway, passing the two paddocks on either side, Manor Mill occupies a remarkably secluded, peaceful and private position, 'hidden from the outside world' yet within a short walk of Constantine village centre with excellent amenities. The approximate 6.5 acre grounds are wonderfully varied and include well-tended formal lawns bordering a stream on the eastern boundary, 2 manageable paddocks to the south and east and a large woodland on the northern border with a magical circular walk which 'loops' around the house. Internally, the accommodation is attractively presented, full of character and has a particularly ‘homely’ feel, similar to that found in period farmhouses. A centrally positioned kitchen/breakfast room with AGA forms the ‘hub’ of the house with large formal reception rooms on either side both with windows overlooking the gardens and featuring wood burning stoves. The remaining four ground level rooms are currently being utilised as a studio/office, music room, utility room and self-contained studio guest suite with adjacent shower room. The first floor is equally versatile : featuring staircases at either end providing easy separation/privacy between family and guest accommodation. In total, there are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The stunning principal bedroom has a large dressing room, en-suite and dual aspect windows overlooking the garden and grounds. Many rooms of the house benefit from underfloor heating and include the dining room, studio/office, music room and 2 of the en-suite bathrooms.
4kw solar panels have been discreetly installed at ground level behind the house which generated an average net annual income of £1,770 over the past 5 years.
