General Comments - This is a rare opportunity to purchase a detached property for complete improvement in a lovely location. "The Cottage" has frontage to a private unmade lane on the edge of Treskerby and being a cul-de-sac comprising just a handful of properties there is little to distract from its quiet rural ambience. The property has been the cherished home of the same family for many decades but having suffered from neglect in recent years the property now needs improvement and renovation. However there is tremendous scope to renovate and improve the building and the large garden at the rear is perfect for those with a growing family.

There are currently 2 bedrooms on the first floor (formerly 3 bedrooms) and a larger space below affording 3 receptions plus kitchen and shower-room.

It is worthy of note that for many years a residential caravan occupied the front garden and there are service connections remaining for both water and electricity as well as an independent drainage system.

Location - The well known Scorrier House and Estate lies a short distance to the east of Treskerby and is approximately two miles from Redruth. Here there is an excellent range of facilities which include supermarkets, pubs, schools, leisure facilities and main line railway station. The A30 arterial route is just a mile away and thus there is easy access to all parts of the county.

Both Truro and Falmouth are approximately nine miles from Treskerby and both offer shopping and leisure facilities.

The Dwelling - Much of the original cottage is stone built with rendered elevations but with more recent modifications to the rear. Most of the windows are double glazed. As previously stated the building is in need of renovation.
