Description

This two bedroom semi-detached cottage presents a rare opportunity for those looking to create a wonderful home in a charming semi-rural setting. In need of total refurbishment, the property already benefits from planning consent for a ground floor extension, which would significantly enhance the living space.

As it stands, the accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and shower room on the ground floor, with two well-proportioned double bedrooms on the first floor. The approved plans would transform the layout, creating a spacious dual aspect lounge with direct access to the garden, a dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, bathroom and side porch, while retaining two generous double bedrooms upstairs.

A true highlight of this property are the gardens - unusually large for a cottage of this size and backing onto open countryside. Already extensively planted with mature trees and shrubs, they offer an exceptional degree of privacy and a real sense of being immersed in nature.

The gardens are arranged in two main areas: the first, directly accessed from the cottage, is mainly lawn with a former patio area and useful block-built outhouse; beyond this lies a further space, home to a dilapidated greenhouse, which would make a fantastic produce garden if desired.

This is a superb opportunity to create a stylish and individual home, with a glorious garden and a lifestyle that enjoys the best of the countryside while remaining within easy reach of major towns and local amenities.

LOCATION
The property is located in the small hamlet of Polgarth, just outside Crowntown is semi-rural hamlet growing in popularity and for good reason. Well placed for access to both the north and south coast, each of which offer stunning beaches. The property is also convenient for the surrounding countryside and good walking. It is easy to connect to the A30 and to access more major towns such as Truro, Camborne and Redruth as well as nearby Helston and The Lizard Peninsula. The property is also within reach the well regarded Sithney Primary School.

The company was established in 2002 and has an experienced team who for many years have dealt with property in this district.

The town is linked to the coast by the beautiful Penrose Estate which is also home to Cornwall's largest natural fresh water lake at Loe Pool.

To the west our area skirts around Mount's Bay and it encompasses a number of highly regarded villages and attractive areas of open countryside.

Flora Day is the most important day in the Helston calendar. It takes place at the beginning of May each year and although it's origins are lost in the mists of time it is believed to have been performed by the townsfolk for hundreds if not thousands of years. During the day four Furry dances take place the first one starting at 7.00 a.m. in the morning! Thousands of people throng the streets of this Ancient Market town to welcome in the Spring. The principal dance takes place at 12 noon with the gentleman in morning suits and top hats and the ladies wearing long colourful dresses with splendid hats.
