Trehaddle, Truro, Cornwall, TR4

A delightful detached cottage in the picturesque village of Cusgarne.

Description

The property is a really pretty character cottage in a delightful setting that takes you back to those childhood books by Beatrice Potter or even Toad of Toad Hall. It has been sensitively renovated over the years without losing any of its charm.

On the ground floor is the entrance/dining hall with inglenook fireplace, window seat and steps up to the kitchen and sitting room.

The sitting room is a spacious room with wood burning stove at one end, glazed door to garden, staircase to first floor and door to fourth bedroom/study.

The kitchen is a lovely cosy room with stable door to garden, built-in seating for kitchen table, a range of wooden kitchen units, an oil-fired range cooker, four ring gas hob, space for a further electric cooker. From the kitchen is the utility room with a range of kitchen units with wooden work tops, double butler sink, space for fridge/freezer and laundry cupboard with space for washing machine and tumble dryer. Off the utility is the shower room.

On the first floor are three very good-sized double bedrooms along with two bath/shower rooms and good storage. The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely room with glazed door and steps out to the garden.

Exterior, gardens and outbuildings

To the front of the property is a small area of grass and flower border with a stone path leading up to the front door. To the side is a pair of large wooden gates leading to the rear of the cottage and single garage with parking for several cars. Immediately adjacent to the house is a terraced area with space for garden table and steps leading up to the main garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees with steps leading up to the top terrace. The top terrace has been designed to maximise the rural views with plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining along with a hot tub to enjoy those long summer evenings.

Location

The property is set in an idyllic spot on a quiet rural lane along which a lovely stream from Gwennap runs before emptying into the Carnon river about two miles away. Trehaddle is a delightful lightly wooded valley with a rich history of both farming and mining with Cusgarne being the fictional home of Elizabeth Chynoweth from the famous Poldark books by Winston Graham. It is part of the thriving communities of Cusgarne and Frogpool with local amenities of a highly regarded organic farm shop, a primary school, pub and village hall. Approximately a mile away is Bissoe which has a garage, hair salon, pasty shop, bike hire and café and Perranwell Station also just over a mile has a village shop, pub and a rail link to Falmouth and the city of Truro.

Approximately six miles away, the city of Truro, the administrative, education and retail centre of Cornwall offers a good range of schooling both state and private, a mainline rail link to London Paddington, an excellent range of national and independent shops, restaurants and bars along with a cinema, museum and a highly regarded theatre.

Cornwall Airport (Newquay) provides flights to London as well as to other regional and European destinations

Locally there is much to be enjoyed with plenty of beautiful countryside walks, the coast-to-coast bike trail at Bissoe (an 11-mile cycle path that starts at Devoran and finishes on the north coast at Portreath). Also within easy reach are both the north and south coasts. Porthtowan and Portreath beaches on the north coast are fantastic surfing beaches and Devoran just over three miles away gives access to the Carrick Roads. The buzzy, eclectic town of Falmouth is seven miles away.
