Nestled in the unspoiled countryside of south Cornwall, Old Kea is a charming hamlet near the city of Truro, along the banks of the Truro River. The area is steeped in history, with remnants of a 5th-century church and a small renovated chapel still standing. The property, Lambe Creek House, has a rich and colorful history, having hosted famous artists and writers, including the Surrealists, in the 1930s. The house itself is a beautiful period home with elegant proportions, characterful interiors, and features such as a galleried landing and barrel vault ceilings. The property sits on tranquil, leafy banks of the Truro River, with sweeping river views and a long drive winding across farmland to the sleepy creek. The idyllic grounds are abundant with mature trees and planting, and include a former farmworker's cottage, a pavilion, stable yard, and garaging/stores. The property has a private water supply, mains electricity, private drainage, and oil-fired central heating, and is situated near Truro, Falmouth, and Newquay Airport.
