House For Sale £450,000
To be sold for the first time in over 45 years: A charming detached pre-war house, substantially extended by the present owners to provide 4-bedroomed accommodation, set amidst beautiful gardens - a mass of flowering shrubs and specimen plants - in this ever-popular, lightly wooded location, perfectly situated for the nearby port of Falmouth and cathedral city of Truro, just 4 and 6 miles distant respectively. For sale with the additional benefit of immediate vacant possession with no onward chain.
The Property
'Stickenbridge House' was constructed, we understand, in the 1920's/30's and is now to be sold for the first time in over 45 years, having been a cherished family home. Substantially extended by the present owners, the property provides double glazed and centrally heated four bedroom two reception room accommodation, now in need of some updating, with the scope for further extension if required, subject to consents. Indeed, until the end of 2020, there was a detached chalet to the rear of the property, used for rental purposes, with separate vehicular access, which a future owner may wish to reinstate, whether for rental income, a dependant relative, studio or office to 'work from home'.
Being a pre-war construction, the property has recently been the subject of a Concrete Screening Test, the results of which categorise the property as A2, i.e. 'suitable for normal mortgage lending purposes'.
The Location
The property is situated amidst light woodland on a south-facing slope close to the A39 and hamlet of Perranarworthal. The Mylor Peninsula is therefore nearby, with its superb sailing facilities, with a regular bus service within easy walking distance to both Falmouth and Truro. The Norway Inn is just a few minutes' walk away, with village amenities close by in Ponsanooth, Perranwell Station, Devoran and Carnon Downs. An ideal location for families and retirement buyers alike.
