A very rare opportunity to purchase a substantial, extended semi detached cottage that is being sold with ‘ No Onward Chain’ and is situated within the sought after village of Carnon Downs. The original part of the cottage is believed to date from around 1837, it is very conveniently situated within a non estate location on Bissoe Road, the location allowing for level access to the centre of the village, village shop, play parks and doctors surgery.

The property offers ample family sized living accommodation that provides great flexibility and the potential to create a fantastic family home with the added ability to create either a work from home space or potentially a small annexe if required. The property also has the added advantage of both parking to the front and an additional rear access that provided further parking and possibly the potential to re-develop the rear garden subject to permissions. As you enter the property you are greeted by a spacious and very welcoming reception space with focal point wood burning stove and beamed ceilings. The cottage then provides further reception space across the ground floor that includes a snug that is centrally located within the property, a spacious dining room that is set to the rear of the property, this family dining space opening directly onto the rear gardens. The cottage further benefits from a recently upgraded fitted kitchen that features a central island and Range style cooker. Across the remainder of the ground floor you will also find a ground floor bedroom/ home office, ground floor bathroom and a separate cloakroom/w.c.

The first floor continues the incredibly spacious feel and provides five spacious double bedrooms plus a master bathroom. The larger of the rear bedrooms also benefits from it’s own rear access, this could provide the potential to create a separate space for sub letting if required. Externally the property provides private driveway parking for three cars, whilst at the rear there is an additional driveway and a large detached single garage, the private driveway providing parking for a number of vehicles. The rear garden is enclosed and mainly laid to lawn, this rear area of garden could provide some re-development potential subject to the necessary permissions.

The property further benefits from double lazing and gas central heating, we understand that many of the windows were replaced in 2016/2017 whilst the boiler we understand was replaced in 2021.

Carnon downs remains an incredibly sought after village that lies almost midway between the capital city of Truro and the harbourside town of Falmouth. The village provides a wide array of amenities including a village convenience store, village hall, doctors surgery and children’s nursery, butchers, dentists, garden centre with cafe. The village is also well located for primary schooling with nearby schooling at Kea, Devoran, Perranwell and Cusgarne, whilst senior schooling and college are available within nearby Truro. The Tremough university campus at Penryn is also within easy reach being only 5 miles away from the property. Carnon Downs has excellent transport links with a regular bus service that links the village to both Truro and Falmouth on a regular basis, the village also provides easy access onto the A39, whilst the A30 is within approximately a 20 minute drive from the property. The countryside and villages around Carnon Downs include the creekside village of Devoran, nearby Bissoe with its coast to coast cycle and walking trail, whilst the National Trust property and gardens at Trelissick are close by. For the keen sailor the sheltered sailing waters of the Carrick Roads are close by with launching facilities being available at nearby Loe Beach.

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a substantial family home with additional potential. A viewing is very strongly advised.
