Description

DESCRIPTION

In a peaceful, idyllic setting, this substantial, detached home has been meticulously and lovingly updated with careful attention to retain the character and charm of a beautiful cottage. Perfectly suited to anyone needing a home they can work from, the property benefits from full fibre broadband to the property and space for a home office. With endless walks on your doorstep, this home is surrounded by nature and sits in lovely countryside, while being only 15 minutes drive from both Penzance and St Just.
 
The property's traditional front entrance leads you in to the first reception room via a good-size entrance porch. The primary sitting room is blessed with exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace and windows on either side with the front offering wooden shutters framing the view of the front garden and the surrounding countryside. 
 
The unusually large kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderful space with a very large dresser and farmhouse table and an oil-fired AGA sitting at one end. The spacious kitchen has windows to three aspects, and French doors out to the beautiful and private garden. Also downstairs there is a second reception or office with multifuel stove, a good-size utility room with storage and a downstairs WC.
 
To the first floor are four double bedrooms, all of which enjoy lovely rural views extending across fields to Lamorna Cove; the largest bedroom is triple aspect and currently used as a studio as it is a beautiful, light space. In keeping with the cottage's blend of timeless tradition with modern convenience, the flooring upstairs is a mix of wooden floorboards and carpet. The two bathrooms upstairs are both modern and smart; fitted with large shower enclosures with tiled surrounds.
 
To the rear of the property there is a vaulted ceiling workshop space that houses the oil boiler and has Velux rooflights, as well as a block-built potting shed across a patio-paved area that leads around to the front garden.
 
The garden to the front features a tulip tree, a wildlife pond, and a lawn surrounded by plentiful beds stocked with marigolds and camelias dotted around the lawn. Closer to the house is a flagstone seating area with a low stone wall; an ideal place from which to enjoy the tranquility this location offers.  There is driveway parking for three vehicles.
