3 bed property for sale

Higher Pennance, Lanner, Redruth TR16

A distinctive Cornish home with character, countryside views and the freedom to work remotely. A change of pace, without compromising on the way you work

For buyers looking to exchange the pace of life in London, the Home Counties or elsewhere in the UK for the space, character and natural beauty of Cornwall, Pennance Villa offers a particularly appealing opportunity.

Believed to date from the late 19th century, this characterful semi-detached home has been sympathetically modernised to a high standard, retaining many of its original features while providing the comforts and facilities expected of contemporary living. Set in a beautiful rural position with far-reaching countryside views, the property combines period charm, generous living accommodation and exceptional outdoor amenities.

Crucially, Pennance Villa is also well suited to the changing demands of modern working life. Starlink satellite internet is already installed, and the purpose-built, insulated garden office has heating and Wi-Fi, providing a dedicated workspace separate from the main house. For professionals, entrepreneurs and business owners who can work remotely, this offers the opportunity to establish a new life in Cornwall without losing the flexibility to maintain their working commitments. It would work equally well for a local family to enjoy all it has to offer.

Beyond the office, the lifestyle possibilities are equally attractive. A heated outdoor swimming pool with a bespoke retractable enclosure, generous south-facing gardens, a superb entertaining terrace and open countryside views create a setting in which leisure and relaxation can become part of everyday life.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, Pennance Villa presents a compelling combination of a distinctive Cornish home, practical remote-working facilities and space to enjoy the outdoors.

A home full of character.

At the heart of the property is an impressive lounge/dining room, extending to approximately 32'9" x 12'0", where granite lintel fireplaces and wood-burning stoves provide an attractive focal point and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The generous proportions create ample space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The adjoining fitted kitchen has cottage-style units, solid beech-block work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances. A former granite lintel fireplace adds further character and provides a reminder of the home's historic origins.

One of the property's most distinctive features is the superb sunroom, measuring approximately 15'8" x 10'9". With windows on three sides, French doors opening towards the garden and a striking four-sided cupola rising through the roof, this is a particularly light and inviting space. Its outlook across the swimming pool, gardens and surrounding countryside makes it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the changing seasons.

Additional ground-floor accommodation includes an entrance vestibule, rear vestibule, utility area, cloakroom/WC and useful boot room.

Situated within a short distance of the village of Lanner, here one will find a choice of convenience stores, a fish and chip shop, public houses and schooling for younger children.

The nearest major town is Redruth and here there is a mix of national and local shopping outlets, a mainline Railway Station with direct links to London and the North of the country and Redruth is also home to Kresen Kernow which is a mecca for those researching their Cornish roots.

The A30 trunk road is within a short drive and Truro, which is the administrative and cultural centre for Cornwall and the University town of Falmouth on the South coast are both within commuting distance.

Portreath on the North coast which is noted for its sandy beach and active harbour is within seven miles.

This rural cottage is far from isolated and enjoys easy access to all that Cornwall offers whether it be sandy beaches, rugged coastlines or countryside walks.
