House For Sale £650,000
Set in a stunning three-quarter acre garden bordering a stream, this charming double fronted stone cottage has been the subject of a sympathetic scheme of upgrading and refurbishment over the current vendors' occupation. The upgrades include the installation of a new central heating boiler, replacement ‘Richard Winfrey' double glazed sash windows to the front elevation and multifuel stoves to each side of the two open reception rooms. Many of the original features have been maintained including an open beamed ceiling and exposed wooden window seat. The kitchen/dining room has been extensively refurbished and upgraded with an exceptional quality ‘Richard Winfrey’ bespoke range of units with polished granite work surfaces. There are handy porches to both the front and rear as well as a refitted cloak/utility room on the ground floor.
The first floor offers a sizeable family bathroom and four bedrooms, three are good size double rooms along with a single. All rooms enjoy the elevated country views over the garden and surrounding fields.
The gardens are an absolute feature extending to around three quarters of an acre laid out in sloping lawns surrounded by an abundance of flowering shrubs, plants and mature trees. To the rear is a sunny sheltered courtyard enjoying a southerly elevation and a long driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles extending to a good size turning area.
In all, a wonderful rural retreat set in stunning gardens surrounded by beautiful countryside yet close to all the amenities anyone could need and a short distance to the renowned sailing waters of the Helford passage.
