Description

DESCRIPTION

** Viewing Slots Available Thursday 30th April in the Afternoon **
 
Detached in a pretty and serene valley setting near Penzance, is this cedar wood chalet that has been extended; now offering three bedrooms and a raised bed decked area.
 
Constructed originally in 1969, the chalet is one of twelve in this picturesque setting that now forms a friendly community of folk living more closely with their natural surroundings. The gardens around the chalets are lovingly maintained to retain a balance of wildlife, native species as well as some more sub-tropical species of plants.
 
The accommodation is well-lit naturally thanks to large apex windows in the main living space, as well as having vaulted ceilings that bounce the light through. The open-plan living space has a kitchen on one side, with a woodburning stove (inc back boiler) in the living area. 
 
The two bedrooms in the main chalet have been reconfigured to create a raised bed deck accessible from the living space, and there is a shower room also accessible from an inner hallway. There is an airing cupboard housing a hot water cylinder and the invertor for the sixteen solar panels on the roof.
 
Across a covered veranda, that now forms a spacious entrance hallway with generous woodstore, is a separate bedroom with a bespoke double bed at one end, and a desk by another woodburning stove enjoying the valley views from another large window. To the front of the chalet is a pretty garden space with a pebble-covered terrace and lots of wild flowers - there is access here to the lean-to greenhouse that leads through and around the property.
 
Externally, the owner has created an elevated decked seating area that offers a peaceful outlook over the trees and fauna below, with steps down to a lawned garden with pear and plum trees. There is a large covered wood store in one corner, with a further log store around to the side of the property, as well as a storage area beneath the chalet that has been enclosed with windows and a door; creating potential for a workspace.
 
There is an additional timber storage shed with mains power and windows as well as a lean-to greenhouse for growing and cultivating. The chalet has parking in a communal car park with several visitor spaces. The property has mains drainage, water and power and represents a fantastic opportunity to live in a most idyllic setting.
