Comfort Road, Mylor Bridge, TR11

THE PROPERTY

This prominent and charming detached house was built in the 1930s for the then headmaster of the neighbouring school. Its distinctive appearance and quality is reminiscent and in the style of eminent local architect, Claude Russell Corfield who designed some of the areas’ finest homes, but we can’t be sure! Number 1 is somewhere between a cottage and house in its stature with some delightful original features and an interior flooded with light. We particularly like the hall and turning staircase, and that all ‘living’ rooms and two of the three bedrooms face South, overlooking the rear garden, to the valley and wooded countryside beyond. The house is being sold for the first time in over 30 years and has been much loved and cared for during our clients’ ownership. The garden is a treat; established and enclosed, set back from Comfort Road with some fine shrubs and small trees and plenty of space to park. This is a gem and its availability is rare within the village. Wholeheartedly recommended.

THE LOCATION

1 Comfort Road lies next to the Primary School, a few paces from the centre of Mylor Village shops and pub and a leisurely few minutes’ walk to the quayside and creek. Although remarkably convenient, the property is delightfully situated, tucked into its own large, established plot and garden. Mylor has an an active, friendly community and excellent facilities that include the Lemon Arms Pub, a well stocked village store, a highly regarded primary school, pre-school and playgroups. There are Doctor and Dentist surgeries, a Post Office and Newsagent, Hairdressers, award winning Butcher's shop plus a Fishmonger. The Village Hall has an extensive programme that includes exhibitions, a history group, keep-fit classes and monthly cinema showings. There are also several local clubs, tennis courts, a bowling green, playing fields, plus a regular bus service running to Falmouth and Truro. Small wonder that the Sunday Times has named Mylor Bridge as 'One of the Best Places to Live' and that it is one of the most desirable villages around. The village is located approximately 4 miles from the harbour town of Falmouth and 8 miles from Truro Cathedral City both of which have good schools, excellent shops, business and recreational facilities. Mylor Creek is a tributary of the River Fal, leading into the Carrick Roads with access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country. There are a number of yacht clubs nearby including those at Restronguet, Mylor, Flushing and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour, just a short distance away,has remarkable facilities including a Marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers, marine services plus restaurants and a general store/café.
