SITUATION Menear Farmhouse is situated in a rural and elevated position just outside St Austell which takes full advantage of superb views of Carlyon Bay from Cribben Head across to Black Head.
The centre of St Austell is about 1.5 miles to the south-west. Communication links in the area are good with there being a junction to the A30(T) at Innis Downs Roundabout about 7 miles to the north, and at St Austell there is a railway station on the London Paddington line.
DESCRIPTION The approach to Menear Farmhouse is over a private shared lane which leads to extensive car parking and turning areas in a yard to the north of the house.
The period house stands in an elevated south-east facing position with tremendous views to the south to Carlyon Bay. It presents character accommodation arranged over two storeys which warrants updating and improvement.
On the ground floor is an enclosed Entrance Porch to a Hall with slate flagstone floor, turning balustrade stairs to the first floor with understairs cupboard and doors to a pair of similar sized front Reception Rooms each enjoying the outstanding views and with wood-burners set within fireplaces.
Also off the Hall is an Old Dairy with slate flagstone floor, which is perhaps ideal as an office or playroom, and there is a well-proportioned Kitchen with high ceiling and a range of base and eye level units, double drainer stainless steel sink unit and an inset solid fuel Rayburn serving domestic hot water.
Off the Kitchen is a side Boot Room with wall bench and stable style door to outside and a door to a Utility/Shower Room with walk-in electric shower with screen, wc, pedestal washbasin, plumbing for washing machine and vent.
On the first floor, centred around a Landing with dado panelling are four Bedrooms - the two front Main Bedrooms fully enjoying the views - and a Bathroom with bath with electric shower over, washbasin, bidet, wc and full height fitted shelved cupboard.
THE GARDEN The garden, with tremendous landscape views over Carlyon Bay, is laid mainly to lawn with shrub, flower and hedge borders and within the garden is an attractive old stone Outbuilding with corrugated fibre cement roof.
THE BLOCK BUILDING/GARAGE AND YARD To the north of the house is a useful block and artificial slate Building/Garage with up and over metal vehicular door, side windows and adjacent is a small Lean-to.
THE FIELD To the south of the house is a good sized and regular shaped Pasture Field with mature hedge boundaries. In total, Menear Farmhouse extends to about 3.75 acres and the pasture field extends to about 2.80 acres.
