House For Sale £750,000
This charming Grade II listed granite cottage set on the south east facing slopes of this much sought after rural location at Rose Valley, enjoying a delightful sunny aspect and nestling in and around 1/2 acre of beautiful landscaped gardens surrounded by fields.
The cottage comes to the market for the first time in 20 years since our client purchased the property through Kimberley's and at that stage, the cottage was a derelict building.
Our clients completed a full restoration project, completely renewing the inside in a sympathetic manner, retaining original features including an inglenook fireplace and clome oven. The walls have been plastered in traditional rough cast finish and the internal doors, many of them original, have latches. Window seats, open beamed ceilings, dark wood flooring, small multi-paned sash windows and wood burners in the main reception areas all add to the rustic charm.
The accommodation on the ground floor includes a porch, sitting room, dining room (both rooms can become one), a fitted country kitchen which includes a dual fuel Rayburn range that is linked to the lpg central heating system to maximise energy efficiency, an L-shaped conservatory which has folding/sliding doors on four sides providing versatile shelter and ventilation throughout the year, a front lobby, useful utility room, rear hallway and porch, bedroom four/study and a bathroom/wc combined. A solid pine staircase takes you from the rear hallway to the first floor landing which offers a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms with the third having access onto a small grassed terrace and finally, a second bathroom/wc combined. Outside, the cottage is approached through a gateway into a large gravelled driveway with double garage on the right hand side and plenty of parking in front of the cottage.
The owners moved to Cornwall with the intention of creating a garden and the result is a stunning series of garden 'rooms' set on a South East slope. A rose garden, herb garden, herbaceous borders and bowling lawn are linked by a series of grass avenues and beside the cottage, a series of productive raised beds including two apple trees and fruit bushes currently provide ample produce for the kitchen.
The cottage is set close to Mabe Parish Church, Argal Reservoir and Water Park plus a wealth of public footpaths and bridle ways which take you through the surrounding countryside, The village itself is around a mile away where you will find a village convenience store with sub post office, hairdressers, recently refurbished public house/restaurant under new management, a junior and nursery school, a community centre and a regular bus service to the surrounding area. Mawnan Smith is some four miles away just above the sailing waters of The Helford River. Glendurgan, Trebah Gardens and the Budock Vean Hotel with its own challenging golf course are all within easy distance. Falmouth University and coastal towns of Penryn and Falmouth are a short drive away and the cathedral city of Truro with its comprehensive commercial and retail centres plus the main line to Penzance in the East and all points West and North to London and beyond.
As our clients sole agents, we strongly recommend an immediate viewing to appreciate this fine cottage and grounds.
