Property description
A detached Edwardian 5/6 bedroomed former gentleman's residence situated on the outskirts of the former market town of Penzance
Bosalverne is a superb example of a detached Edwardian former gentleman's residence situated within close proximity of both the centre of the town of Penzance and the Promenade. The house has undergone a substantial renovation and redecoration programme by the present owners over the last couple of years and now offers spacious and highly adaptable accommodation for those discerning customers looking for a large extended family home or a chance to earn a supplementary income. The property itself retains many original features, both externally and internally, including granite mullioned windows on the outside and ornate encaustic tiled floors, sweeping staircase with leaded first floor window and ornately carved ceiling cornices and roses on the inside. The residence is approached over a sweeping semi-circular tarmacadamed driveway which stops directly in front of the main doors. The house is accessed through double wooden doors into a large hallway with the aforementioned tiled floor and staircase. Leading off the hallway there is a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, 2 further reception rooms and large l-shaped kitchen with gas fired 4-oven Aga, pantry, boiler room and conservatory, which spans the entire rear of the house and measures approximately 50ft. On the first floor the landing overlooks a large stained glass window to the rear with further doors leading to 4 double bedrooms, 2 large family bathrooms and a dressing room. There is a further staircase leading from the ground floor into a fully converted attic room which spans the entire width of the house and has Velux windows to both front and rear as well as a shower room.
The property is centrally positioned within a half-acre plot and the gardens are laid to lawn to the front, bordered by established shrubs and plants. To one side of the property is an enclosed courtyard leading to utility room and a further driveway with parking for several vehicles leading to the detached granite-built double garage. The rear garden is fully enclosed by granite walling and comprises a large lawned area, cottage garden, patio and enclosed barbecue area/veranda.
Location: Bosalverne is conveniently situated within easy and level walking distance of the town centre and amenities. The famous Promenade, town's rugby, football and tennis clubs, Morrab sub-tropical gardens and bowling green are all within walking distance of this property.
