SITUATION In a pleasant and rural setting in the local village of Lanlivery with its public house, primary school and church, Roselath is situated off a quiet no-through country lane in a popular and sought after area. The local Stannary town of Lostwithiel and its interesting array of shops, together with public houses, restaurants and station on the London Paddington line is about 2.5 miles to the south-east. Fowey, with its renowned sailing waters, is about 6 miles to the south.
THE HOUSE Roselath presents a residence of some size and scale - indeed, as shown on the attached floor plan the gross internal accommodation extends to about 3,393 sq ft. A fine family home for the current owners over the last 20 years, Roselath offers a tremendous opportunity to purchase a substantial period country house, which today warrants some updating to revitalise a quality home of some distinction, and offers views to and past the medieval 14th Century parish church of Lanlivery from most parts of the property.
On the ground floor is an inviting and spacious Reception Hall with balustrade staircase leading to the first floor and doors off to the majority of the downstairs rooms. There are three Reception Rooms being a Drawing Room with open raised fireplace with slate slip, ornate timber surround and mantle and slate hearth, Sitting room with parquet floor and open fireplace with tiled slip, and Study with slate flagstone floor.
Off the Reception Hall is an Inner Hall/Office Area with doors to Under-stairs WC and to a particularly spacious open-plan Kitchen, Dining and Living Room with slate flagstone floor. The Kitchen Area offers an extensive range of base and eye level units with rolled wood worktops, solid fuel Rayburn Royale and side log store, undermounted sink with mixer tap, space and plumbing for dishwasher and an island unit. The Dining and Living Area, with double aspect, presents a splendid and spacious everyday room.
Off the Kitchen is a useful Utility/Boot Room with slate flagstone floor, deep earthernware sink unit with arched mixer tap, cupboard to side, timber worktop, plumbing for washing machine, coat hooks, part leaded and stained glass window, wall shelving and door to outside.
The first floor is approached via a turning balustrade staircase leading to a centre Landing and Landing Passageway off, both with doors to all Bedrooms. Originally Roselath presented a total of 8 Bedrooms, although one of those Bedrooms has subsequently been adapted as a Dressing Room for the Main Bedroom, and two original bedrooms have been amalgamated into one. There is also a Landing Library Area with full height range of fitted book shelves and opposite built-in cupboards with box cupboards over. It is considered there is potential to create a self contained annexe at first floor level.
In addition is a Family Bathroom with freestanding ball and claw rolled top bath with Victorian style mixer tap shower fitment, pedestal washbasin, wc, dado panelling, and shabby chic timber floor, fully tiled Wet Room with and chrome wall mounted towel radiator and fully tiled Shower Room with quadrant shower with rainshower, pedestal washbasin and wc.
THE GARDENS Situated immediately to the front of Roselath is a level shrub garden with a variety of perennials and shrubs and to the rear is a crazy paved seating area with, beyond and to the side, extensive and open lawn gardens with fruit tree orchard, chicken runs and mature border hedge with a variety of deciduous tree standards.
In the north-west corner of the garden is a fire pit and decked seating area.
THE BUILDINGS Situated beside the house is a stone Traditional Barn (believed to have been an old former cottage at one time) which is listed Grade II as a Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. Detailed planning permission and listed building consent (application numbers C2/05/00151 and C2/05/00151) have been previously granted by Cornwall council on 24th March 2005 for the conversion of the Traditional Barn into a two-bedroom holiday let and refurbishment of the adjacent (unlisted) barn for use as workshop and storage. Although, this grant of planning permission and listed building consent has elapsed, it is considered there is good potential for re-obtaining a similar consent for conversion - subject to all necessary consents and approvals.
Beyond is a level stone chipped and concrete parking area with a detached stone Barn about 24' x 14' (internal measurement) with workbench, light, power and natural skylight. Again, it is considered this building offers potential for conversion - subject to all necessary consents and approvals.
