Feock, Truro

Perfectly positioned for Truro, Feock, the sailing waters of the Fal Estuary and beautiful walks around Trelissick, a detached energy efficient house, believed to date from the early 1800s, substantially extended and improved to offer well proportioned, spacious, adaptable and well appointed accommodation which provides excellent energy efficiency with 3.75kw solar system (generating approximately £2,000 per annum), substantial insulation, highly efficient gas fired boiler and Scandinavian double glazing. The property is versatile, providing 4 bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms, 2 reception rooms and 2 conservatories, ideal for family occupation or could be a 3 bedroom house to include a 2-storey, 1 bedroom annexe with independent external access, ideal for a dependant relative or lucrative source of letting income etc. A walled forecourt provides ample, secure, parking with 2 substantial outbuildings, together with a well enclosed, south-facing, level garden. For sale with immediate vacant possession and no onward chain.

The Location - 'Pine Cottage' is situated at 'Four Turnings' just three miles from the cathedral city of Truro and within one and a half miles of the well served village of Carnon Downs, Trelissick House with its beautiful walks, and Loe Beach which provides direct access onto the sheltered day-sailing waters of the Carrick Roads.

The Property - Understood to date from the early 1800s but substantially extended and remodelled over recent years, 'Pine Cottage' is attractively presented and well appointed throughout, successfully managing to combine original charm and character with, now, a more contemporary layout to its light, semi open-plan and extremely versatile accommodation.

Supplementary solar panelling with feed in tariff to 2037 complements a modern gas fired central heating and hot water system, together with replacement casement windows with sealed unit double glazing. Radiators are fitted to the first floor; economic electric heating is fitted within the 'annexe', with the ground floor of the main accommodation featuring under-floor heating to many slate-floored rooms.

The living accommodation includes a large reception 'hall', ground floor cloakroom, open-plan family sized contemporary breakfast and dining room, utility room and large south-facing lounge with glass-fronted log-burner and door leading to a conservatory.

Upstairs, there is a particularly well proportioned master bedroom with private en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms, overlooking the front gardens and woodland beyond, together with a bathroom/WC, again with a modern white suite. The 'annexe' can be accessed internally, if required, having its own independent external access with dedicated parking area immediately adjacent. A double aspect kitchen, again features slate flooring, the living room opens into a second south-facing conservatory, and upstairs a landing leads to a further large bedroom and shower room/WC. This 'annexe' has previously been used for commercial purposes and therefore would, once again, be suitable for those prospective purchasers wanting to 'work from home', as well as simple integration to form one large family home, or as an annexe for a dependant relative or source of letting income.

Outside, slate walling and double timber electronic gates provide a high degree of privacy and security, with a large tarmacadam and gravelled forecourt providing sufficient space for numerous vehicles, in addition to a block-built garage and large timber garage/workshop, with light, power and water connected. The gardens lie to the southern side of the house and, again, are well enclosed to all sides and comprise terraces, level lawns and mature boundaries, ideal therefore for those with children and pets etc.

In all, an extraordinarily versatile home, just three miles from the cathedral city of Truro, for sale with the additional benefit of immediate vacant possession and no onward chain. An early viewing is therefore unhesitatingly recommended.
