2 2 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION Planning consent has been obtained for the construction of a new dwelling under application reference PA16/ NB. The proposed dwelling was designed specifically for our client s requirements. However, a new purchaser may wish to change the design and layout subject to planning. We understand that the proposed accommodation will extend to approximately 1,893sq.ft. and will comprise:- Ground Floor: entrance hallway opening to a dual aspect living room with bifold doors onto a water facing terrace. Large kitchen/dining with bifold doors also opening out onto a water facing terrace. Utility room. WC. Plantroom/store. Master bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room.

DESCRIPTION The new house to be built on the building plot which our client s have named Hope Haven has been designed by renowned Cornish architects, CAD Architects Limited to optimise both its wonderful waterside position and its incredible west facing aspect across Restronguet Creek below, the Pandora Inn and the unspoilt countryside beyond. The house has been

3 3 designed to sympathetically mirror the neighbouring property using similar local materials with a contemporary edge to create a superb property in one of the most desirable and sought after residential locations in Cornwall. The current design suggests the following materials are used (subject to personal preference and planning permission):- Walls natural stone, natural timber cladding (red cedar), render and painted offwhite. Roof finish natural slate, grey ridge tiles, in roof solar PV panels, intensive green roofs. Windows aluminium coloured dark grey, slate sills. Doors predominantly glazed units, aluminium coloured dark grey and hardwood and hardwood timber with slate sills. Rainwater goods grey upvc units. SITUATION Restronguet Point, just five miles south of Truro, is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a slender peninsula which fronts the tidal Restronguet Creek to the west and, to the east, the magnificent sailing waters of the Fal Estuary (known as the Carrick Roads), widely regarded amongst the finest and safest for day sailing in the United Kingdom. Accessed by one no-through lane, The Point as it is known locally, is home to some of the most desirable and valuable private residences in the county, particularly those with direct waterfrontage. The sale of this particular building plot provides the opportunity to acquire an exceptional site with direct waterfrontage on the sunny side of The Point. It is our belief that this is only the second vacant building plot to be sold on Restronguet Point in the last 25 years and its availability therefore represents a truly rare opportunity to create a stunning waterfronting house in an exceptional location. Restronguet Point has been highlighted as one of the very best residential locations in the south west and there are extremely few locations in the entirety of Cornwall that offer the exceptional combination of superb access to the cathedral city of Truro and the Port of Falmouth, tranquillity and the absence of traffic, wonderful unspoilt water views, waterfrontage and the opportunity to keep a boat.

4 4 This is therefore, without question, one of the most conveniently placed, prestigious and beautiful locations in Cornwall and will be of huge appeal to those with keen sailing interests and those who covet the ever changing view over a tidal creek from an elevated position. COMMUNICATIONS The cathedral city of Truro is the main commercial, administrative, legal and retailing centre for Cornwall and offers excellent state and private schooling facilities at junior and secondary level. There is a mainline rail link to London Paddington (travel time of approximately 4½ hours) and Newquay Airport at St Mawgan offers an increasing range of both internal and international destinations. There are 18-hole golf courses at Truro, Falmouth and on the nearby Killiow Country Estate. The famous National Trust gardens at Trelissick are on the edge of the village of Feock beside the upper reaches of the Fal Estuary and the King Harry passenger and car ferry provides easy and rapid access onto the Roseland Peninsula and St Mawes. By boat the beautiful thatched Pandora Inn is easily accessed on the other side of Restronguet Creek, Mylor yacht harbour and Mylor Creek are only a short distance away and indeed Falmouth is within a 10 minute boat ride where one is able to moor a boat and go shopping. The Fal Estuary and its tributaries together with the Percuil River and Helford River are all easily explored by boat.
