Situation - Ivy Chimney Stables, situated in Skinner Bottom, occupies a central location, providing easy access to the coastal villages of Portreath, Porthtowan, and St Agnes, while slightly further afield lies Perranporth and the stunning sandy beaches of Gwithian, part of the renowned St Ives Bay.
The property is approximately 5 miles from the dramatic North Cornish coastline, which offers a variety of interesting shops, traditional inns, and a mainline railway connection to London Paddington, making it both accessible and convenient.
The cathedral city of Truro, around 7 miles away, serves as the county's retail, administrative, and cultural hub. It boasts a wide range of leisure facilities, fine dining options, and well-regarded schools, making it an ideal combination of rural tranquillity and access to urban amenities.
The Property - Positioned at the end of a long drive and set within its own grounds, the property is arranged around a central courtyard, complemented by a collection of traditional outbuildings.
The house is entered via a porch that leads into a welcoming hallway. From here, you'll find a generous dual-aspect sitting room featuring a fireplace and double doors that open onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to fill the space. Also accessed from the hallway is a spacious kitchen and dining room, enjoying attractive views over both the rear garden and the central courtyard.
Continuing through the kitchen, you'll discover a practical ground-floor shower room, a utility room, and a separate WC-an especially valuable addition for those using the property for equestrian or rural pursuits.
The first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes that provide convenient and efficient storage, along with a family bathroom, ensuring comfortable and versatile accommodation.
Outside - To the rear of the property lies a well-established garden, predominantly laid to lawn, with a generous patio area ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. The space is attractively bordered by traditional Cornish hedging, providing both character and a sense of privacy.
The Land - The pasture land at Ivy Chimneys is arranged into two attractive, level enclosures measuring approximately 1.4 acres and 3.9 acres, with the entire holding extending to around 6.1 acres. Both paddocks benefit from their own water supply, providing essential convenience for livestock or equestrian use. The generous acreage and practical layout make the land well-suited for grazing or a variety of agricultural and recreational purposes.
Outbuildings - Situated around the central courtyard is a thoughtfully designed layout of four individual stables, complemented by a fifth double stable that can also serve as a dedicated tack room. This arrangement provides excellent functionality for horse care, daily routines, and overall yard management. All stables are equipped with convenient water troughs, ensuring easy access to fresh water for the horses.
In addition to the stabling, the property features two generously sized open-bay barns that offer versatile storage options for equipment, feed, bedding, or agricultural machinery. A well-appointed workshop/garage further enhances the practicality of the estate, providing valuable space for maintenance, repairs, or additional storage. Altogether, this well-equipped setup supports efficient equestrian operations and a highly organized working environment.
