Description
Dating from the 1800’s when it was a working farm, many changes have taken place over the years and the property now offers a lucky buyer the chance to put their own stamp on the accommodation. Standing proudly at the head of the yard with two cottages to either side, the property features a generous kitchen with Aga, a separate utility and cloakroom, a generous lounge, a dining room and a separate snug/office space plus a conservatory which completes the ground floor. Passing a beautiful stained glass window to the first floor, there are five bedrooms, most with feature fireplaces, the principal bedroom has an en-suite and there is a family bathroom.
To the outside rear there are mature private gardens of approximately a third of an acre and a granite outbuilding.
To the front are three parking spaces and lovely countryside views can be enjoyed. The property is offered for sale chain free with vacant possession.
The property is located approximately three quarters of a mile from the centre of the village of Stithians on the back roads towards Mabe Burnthouse.
Positioned in a tranquil setting with fields bordering, the original farmhouse is positioned at the top of the courtyard.
The nearest amenities are in the village of Stithians with a shop, Church, Public House, Village Hall, a doctor’s surgery and a village Primary School with a bus service provided to the local Secondary School and Truro College.
This popular village is located with easy access to Helston, Redruth, Truro and Falmouth. The number 42 and 36 buses serve the village. Stithians Reservoir on the outskirts of the village is a very popular location for sailing, fishing and camping with a cafe to enjoy the wonderful reservoir views.
