SITUATION Individually situated in a delightful rural position about ½ mile from the local village of Porkellis, Wheal Enys Stamps is ideally situated to access both north and south coasts, Helston, Falmouth, Truro, Camborne and Redruth. From Camborne and Redruth there are stations on the London Paddington line as well as junctions to the A30(T).
The Engine House stands in a commanding position on the sides of a valley and enjoys pleasant unspoiled countryside views of the area.
THE ENGINE HOUSE Converted by the current owners in the early 1990s, Wheal Enys Stamps is a traditional granite and slate stamping Engine House for a mine further up the hill and which today provides residential accommodation over four storeys. Originally constructed, we believe, in about 1840, the Cornish heritage of this building is reflected in its status as a Grade II Listed Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.
On the ground floor, a heavy front door with arched headlight over opens to an Entrance Hall with wood effect floor, balustrade stairs off to first floor and under-stairs cupboard. Adjacent is a Kitchen and Dining Room. The Kitchen includes a matching range of base and eye level Shaker style units with rolled worktop surfaces to splashback tiling and include, an oil-fired 2-oven Heritage which serves domestic hot water and central heating, a stainless steel double sink with single drainer and mixer tap. Off, is a small rear Hall with door to outside and doors to an Office and a Bathroom with a freestanding claw foot cast iron bath, high level wc and suspended washbasin. Also on the ground floor is a Bedroom with outlook to side garden and door to outside.
