What can we say about this delightful example of a Victorian home in such a private location and so convenient for the town.

This charming home was built by The Bassett family in 1860 as one large residence.

In 1895 the main home was divided into 2 large homes, one for each of the Basset sisters.

It was used as a finishing school for young ladies for a number of years before being sold to the Knuckey family of Redruth and then subsequently to the present owners.

We love the huge conservatory and separate reception rooms with so many original features of the Victorian period.

From the moment you enter the property you notice the original antique pine wooden flooring, high ceilings and tiling.

The kitchen has a proper butlers pantry.

The accommodation is very adaptable being arranged on 3 floors with the attic room being a perfect space with sea views across the town.

Externally the gardens are surprisingly private with a large sun terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The garden room is perfect for guests or would be an ideal home office. The rooftop terrace has great views.

Unusual for town is a garage and a parking space.
