General Remarks And Location - Robin Hill is virtually in the centre of the tiny village of Ruanlanihorne and yet it is remarkably private. It is one of three individual properties approached by a private lane (a right of way) and with the bungalow set within a relatively level plot where it takes advantage of a lovely view out over the river saltings to the far wooded banks of the upper Fal estuary. Built in the 1960's the property has been the cherished home of the late owner for about 40 years and whilst well maintained and cared-for it now affords a superb opportunity to upgrade and possibly extend (subject to consent) to suit the needs of a new occupant. The garden is a particular delight and whilst carefully planted with a host of mature specimen shrubs there is still an open aspect to take advantage of the far reaching view.

Ruanlanihorne is a tiny village situated at the head of the Ruan River, in an area known for its scenic countryside and part of an area scheduled as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is just a pub and church within the village but the larger villages of Veryan and Tregony are near-by and easily accessible. Between them they offer a wide range of facilities including Primary and Secondary Schools, pubs, village halls, children's playing field/parks, village shops with post offices, a hairdressers, a Sports and Social Club with cricket field, tennis courts and indoor and outdoor bowling green.

The coastal village of Portscatho also offers a range of shops and facilities including a village shop with post office and off licence, butchers, art galleries and the Plume Of Feathers public house.
There is also the waterside Tatams Coffee Hut with its outside sitting area and Tatams Taverna with wood fired oven offering takeaway's. Within walking distance of Portscatho is the renowned Hidden Hut that is perched just above Porthcurnick Beach, with either takeaway or outside dining available, with the superb vista across Porthcurnick Beach and out to sea. There is also a Doctors Surgery and Village Hall.

The city of Truro with its cathedral and fine shopping centre is about 11 miles away.
