LocationPhilleigh is renowned for its historic church,16th century Roseland Inn and Cookery School. It is one of the prettiest country villages of the Roseland Peninsula, adjacent to the estuary of the River Fal, and stretching to Pendower Beach and Gerrans Bay in the East. The nearby villages of Gerrans and Portscatho provide day-to-day shopping facilities and primary schooling, and excellent secondary education is available at Tregony a few miles away. The well-known yachting centre of St Mawes, also within easy reach, offers access to some of the finest sailing waters in the United Kingdom on the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads), Percuil River and Falmouth Bay. The cathedral city of Truro provides a first-class selection of shopping, business, private schooling and a higher education college.

Historical NoteThere has been a church in Philleigh since the seventh century. Today the church comprises thirteenth century tower with Victorian later additions. The village’s old name was in fact Eglos Ros, meaning Heath Church. The church and village later adopted the name from the Parish Saint St Filius. The road through Philleigh used to be the old coach road running between London and Penzance which can be traced on maps as early as 1685. This road then led to the River Fal crossings at the Tolverne Ferry and King Harry Ferry, where ferry services have been provided since medieval times.

IntroducationLonicera is situated in an elevated position enjoying great privacy and far reaching rural views across miles of countryside including glimpses of Ardevora Creek on the River Fal. Lonicera provides faultlessly presented family accommodation along with a tasteful detached annexe of similar quality to the main residence.

The property was purchased by our clients in 2012 requiring complete modernisation and restoration. Once the refurbishment to high standards was complete, they have successfully run the two properties as investment holiday homes and thus the properties have an established holiday letting history. The annexe, (Meadowsweet Cottage) sleeps 4 with peak tariffs of £1,000 per week and the main residence (Honeysuckle House) sleeps 6 guests and is let with a peak tariff of £1,800 per week.
