Wheal Rose, Scorrier

Available to Cash Buyers Only.  Hillcrest House is a charming three-bedroom semi-detached home that combines generous living accommodation with the added benefit of a detached one-bedroom annexe. Set within the peaceful hamlet of Wheal Rose, the property enjoys far-reaching rural views with the distinctive backdrop of a historic Cornish engine house.

The main house is light and welcoming, beginning with a sun room that leads into the ground floor accommodation. The living room provides a cosy heart to the home with its wood-burning stove, while the dining room offers plenty of space for family gatherings or entertaining. A well-laid-out kitchen and practical utility area complete the ground floor.

Externally, Hillcrest House offers even more versatility with its detached annexe. This separate building provides an open-plan bedroom and living space along with a shower room, making it ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.  This space would also make a fantastic home office or gym.  

The property is approached via a large driveway offering parking for several vehicles, while to the rear lies an enclosed garden — perfect for families, pets, or those who enjoy outdoor living. The garden is further enhanced by established vegetable beds and fruit trees, providing an opportunity for homegrown produce. From here, you can also enjoy lovely rural views across open fields. The surrounding landscape offers a wonderful outlook, with unspoilt countryside and the characterful silhouette of a local engine house visible from the grounds.

Further to the lovely garden there is a brick built storage shed and useful dry storage area to the rear of the annexe suitable for logs, bikes and surfboards for those active households. 

Due to a Classification B Mundic Report, Hillcrest House is available to cash buyers only.
