General Comments And Location - It is rare to find a period property of this type and size within the village of St Agnes. Tresleigh was built as the farmhouse to a small farm on the edge of the village at Goonbell but with the gradual expansion and growth of the community it is now very much a residential location. It proudly stands fronting the minor road at Goonbell and has off road parking to the front with an enclosed garden towards the rear. It is essentially a family size house with a self-contained wing which has proved to be a popular holiday let over the last 3 years and potentially could be at full capacity for approximately 9 months adding a valuable income. Alternatively it could be reintegrated back into the main house via the kitchen.

The whole property has been updated and improved over the years and is now a very comfortable home which should appeal to a wide spectrum of purchasers.

St. Agnes has long become a favourite "hot spot" of Cornwall, not surprising because of its position on the north Cornish coast, its homely village atmosphere combined with its easy commuting distance to Truro. It is a thriving community offering a wide range of facilities including shops, post office, church, pubs and primary school as well a selection of restaurants/cafes and hotels. Many of the facilities are within walking distance and due to the village having easy access to the main A30 it is much coveted location. There are beaches at nearby Trevaunance Cove and Chapel Porth and the coastal walks in the area are significant with much of the cliff land owned and protected by the National Trust. St. Agnes is a world heritage site and is in an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.

The city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about nine miles away.

The House - The house is very substantially built of local stone and mostly rendered under a slated roof. It is a very imposing building, believed to have been built in the late 1800's, and architecturally notable for its stepped wing to one side with projecting window bay. Double glazed windows are in simulated small panes to reflect the style of the building, there is a large porch along the frontage of the house and an even larger double glazed conservatory to the rear. Internally there are plenty of features throughout the house including a lovely hallway with traditional tesselated tile floor and turning stairway and also a large sitting room with a decorative moulded archway, cornicing and wood block floor and all of which focuses to a period style open fireplace with marble hearth. Upstairs the main bedroom has an en-suite shower room, there are fitted wardrobes and a spacious bathroom. Heating to the whole is oil fired with a new external boiler fitted this year. Internal inspection is essential.
