DESCRIPTION Tremellyon is just one of a few substantial detached residences on the highly sought after Carclew Road, each set back far from the quiet wooded road in extensive grounds. This is both a prestigious and unusual situation, a short distance to the north of the nearby village of Mylor Bridge and the head of Mylor Creek, with fields and countryside to the south and to the north, backing directly onto the unspoilt farmhouse of the former Carclew Estate. All of this almost equidistant between the cathedral city of Truro and the port of Falmouth. Also, within easy reach is Restronguet Creek, Mylor harbour and the renowned day sailing waters of the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads). Due south facing, Tremellyon is totally secluded and not at all visible from the gated entrance due to its impressive winding tarmacadam driveway which continues around the west side of the house arriving at a generous parking and turning area adjacent to the carport. Built circa 1960’s, and to a very high standard in its day, Tremellyon has undergone a couple of extensions, the most recent being a two storey extension in 2012 which can be used as further accommodation or has been designed to be used as an annexe. Generally, properties in such extensive level grounds, between Truro and Falmouth, rarely become available and Tremellyon is offered for sale with immediate vacant possession. Ripe for a thorough refurbishment and remodelling, and possible further extension, the availability of Tremellyon really does represent quite a rare opportunity and an early viewing is wholeheartedly recommended by the vendors’ sole agent.

LOCATION Carclew Road, Mylor Downs is a popular tree lined road of mainly large detached properties enjoying easy access out to the A39 Truro to Falmouth road and connecting to the village

Ref: LCAA7568 4

of Mylor which is sought after due to retaining a large number of local shops and amenities including bakers, butchers, grocers, hairdresser’s, a local inn and primary school. Mylor Creek provides access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country in the form of the Carrick Roads which is the large estuary waters of the River Fal and its tributaries. Mylor Yacht Harbour provides a nearby marina and excellent boating facilities. A short drive away to the south lies the bustling port of Falmouth with its excellent array of individual and national shops together with bars, cafes and a branch line railway station. A short drive to the north is Cornwall’s county capital city Truro which provides an extremely wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities and a mainline station providing a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. There are swift road connections out to the A30 which then remains largely dual carriageway all the way northwards to Exeter where it joins the M5 to Bristol and A303 to London and southward the A30 provides a swift link to many superb north coastal surfing and bathing beaches.
