Fernsplatt, Truro, TR4

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Fernsplatt, this beautifully presented and substantially extended detached cottage enjoys a serene rural position while remaining perfectly placed for access to Truro, Falmouth and Redruth. Set within just under an acre of private grounds, the home has been significantly enhanced by the current owners, creating a lifestyle opportunity that blends modern comfort with countryside charm. With four double bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, generous gardens and the scope for smallholding or equestrian use, this home offers flexibility and space in abundance.

From the moment you enter through the stable door into the welcoming porch and farmhouse-style kitchen, the quality and care in the renovation is immediately evident. The kitchen/diner is dual-aspect, with exposed beams, tiled flooring, integrated appliances and a Rangemaster cooker, offering ample space for dining and entertaining. A bright and inviting sunroom with bi-fold doors opens onto a raised deck and captures stunning garden and rural views, while the main lounge exudes character, with timber beams, a woodburner set in a recessed hearth, and wooden flooring continuing into a conservatory that enjoys a peaceful garden outlook.

The ground floor has been reconfigured to include a stylish modern bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower, and feature lighting. A dedicated utility room and a separate study ensure practicality meets comfort. The main staircase leads to three double bedrooms and a contemporary family shower room on the first floor, all finished to a high standard.

Externally, the property is accessed via a five-bar farm gate leading to a generous gravelled driveway. The extensive gardens wrap around the home and offer exceptional privacy, framed by mature trees and hedging. There are multiple seating areas, raised decking, a stable, and ample space for animals, vegetable plots or simply enjoying the idyllic surroundings. A separate outbuilding with power and water further adds to the property's versatility.

A standout feature of the home is the rear extension, which includes a separate staircase leading to a large en suite bedroom, entirely self-contained from the main house, creating an ideal annex setup for extended family, guests, or potential rental income.

The one-bedroom annex can have its own independent access and offers a peaceful and private living space. Bright and spacious, the bedroom includes an en suite shower room and benefits from views across the grounds. This area has excellent potential for multi-generational living or even as a holiday let, subject to the necessary consents.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and well-appointed home in a tranquil yet accessible location. With its character, land, potential, and setting, it delivers the perfect blend of lifestyle and location in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after countryside pockets.
