Fore Street, Carharrack, Redruth

Set back from the road in a popular village location, this semi detached cottage offers character accommodation. There are two bedrooms complemented by a family bathroom to the first floor and to the ground floor there are two good reception rooms, a kitchen and a rear conservatory. The property is double glazed and this is complemented by electric heating. Externally there is a low maintenance front garden with parking for up to four vehicles and a lovely mature larger than average rear garden having the bonus of a useful hobbies room.

New to the market is this double fronted two bedroomed, two reception room semi detached cottage in the popular village of Carharrack, offering a plentiful south east facing rear garden that will be sure to inspire those with a penchant for gardening! Built in 1880, this cottage still boasts some original features and offers an opportunity on which a new owner can put their own identity layer after many years of dedicated ownership by the current vendor. On entry through a wider than average front door, a throwback to the property’s history, you find yourself in the wood panelled hallway with an open joist ceiling, additional kitchen units and direct access to the actual kitchen thereafter. A door opens in to the first reception which again has an open joist ceiling with a built-in shelving and TV unit along with an open fire set on a granite hearth with wooden fireplace surround. To the rear, French doors open into the conservatory with double glazed French doors opening out onto the rear patio and garden beyond. Returning to the hallway, this gives access to the second reception/dining room with a coal effect electric fire set on a tiled hearth with decorative wooden surround. The kitchen to the rear of the property is in a reverse L-shaped format with rolled edge work tops and matching upstands. A door gives access to the rear side patio and garden. Stairs to the first floor lead to a quarter landing with a step up to the full landing. A window casting light onto the landing area gives an enhanced brightness to this area. A door opens into the generously sized bedroom one which has the added benefit of large built-in wardrobes with overbed storage. A door opens into bedroom two which is again of a good size. Both bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom including a wood panelled bath and the convenience of a separate shower cubicle with an electric shower. Externally, there is open access to a driveway with parking for up to four cars and a block paved border to a gravelled area with a Christmas tree feature. Borders of channelled walls for planting lead to a block paved front patio. There is access to the rear via a gate and access is gained to the south facing rear garden from both the kitchen and the conservatory. This area is a real suntrap and a split level decorative patio gives access to a shed/hobby/craft room. A gravelled pathway leads to a greenhouse and shed beyond with a two part split level laid to lawn area. A rear decorative patio is home to a summerhouse and there are mature borders all round. In terms of location and amenities, there is a children’s park just along from the property and the local village hall, which we understand holds regular local events, is opposite. Carharrack offers local amenities including a convenience store, a Chinese takeaway and other amenities. Redruth, which has a variety of retail shops, cafes, public houses and a cinema, can be reached in less than ten minutes by car.
