Sought after village
Large double garage- conversion potential
Large garden
Valley and woodland views
Two large reception rooms
Self contained home office / potential holiday use
Three bath/shower rooms
A rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual detached cottage set along a quiet rural lane, enjoying beautiful wooded and valley views yet within a short walk of the village centre, with shop/post office and a well-regarded pub nearby. The coastal village of Pentewan and its beach are approximately 1.5 miles away, with scenic walks through the Pentewan Valley close at hand.
The property sits within a generous, mature garden and includes a detached double garage with a hobbies room/study above, offering potential for annexe or holiday accommodation (subject to consents), alongside a separate self-contained office ideal for home working.
The well-presented accommodation has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners and retains a wealth of charm, including exposed beams, feature fireplaces, deep-silled windows and a pillared porch. The split-level layout comprises an entrance hall, two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and shower room, together with four bedrooms, an en suite and family bathroom. A balcony from one of the bedrooms adds further character and flexibility.
Altogether, a distinctive home offering versatile living space, ample parking and a desirable village setting.
