Description
This detached former farmhouse is situated within a rural settlement on the outskirts of the village of Carnkie. Benefiting from three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, whilst on the ground floor, the entrance porch gives access to a generous L-shaped dual-aspect lounge/diner with a recessed wood burning stove, there is a fitted kitchen and heating is provided via modern electric radiators supported by owned solar panels on the roof.
Accessed via a shared private lane, there is brick paviour parking to the front suitable for four vehicles, whilst to the rear there is an elevated garden which is largely lawned and enjoys an open rural outlook.
Requiring largely cosmetic updating, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial rural property and viewing our interactive virtual tour is strongly recommended prior to arranging a closer inspection.
Little Viscar is on the edge of the village of Carnkie and convenient for the primary school at Halwin which is less than a mile from the property.
The nearest major town is Penryn which will be found some three and a half miles away and is home to Cornwall's university campus and has schooling for senior children, a range of local shops and a Railway Station which connects with Truro. Falmouth on the south coast is renowned for its coastal sailing waters and sheltered beaches and the town itself has a wide range of independent shops, bars and places to eat.
The ancient market town of Helston, famed for its annual Furry Dance and is a gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, is within five miles, Redruth, which is eight miles distant, has a mainline Railway Station and access to the A30 trunk road.
