2 bed cottage for sale

Higher Albion Row, Carharrack, Redruth TR16

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this terraced character cottage is situated in a popular village location and would be ideal for first time buyers or investment. The accommodation would now benefit from some updating and offers two bedrooms, a lounge/diner, a kitchen and a rear bathroom. Externally there is a lovely well stocked front garden and to the rear there is parking for one to two cars and the bonus of a workshop/potting shed.

Here we have a fabulous opportunity to own your first home or to purchase as an investment property. Worthy of an early viewing, we are very pleased to bring to market this charming and welcoming two bedroomed mid terraced traditional Cornish cottage within a distinctive row of similar properties in the popular village of Carharrack. In need of some modernisation yet certainly liveable, this is a property on which you could put your own stamp over time. The front door opens directly into the lounge/living room/diner with an lpg coal effect gas fire, an open joist ceiling and wood panelled recesses with useful shelf space. A door leads through into the fitted kitchen, again with an open joist ceiling, which has a corner airing cupboard with a wall mounted towel style radiator. Hot water is supplied via an Ariston hot water heater under the sink. A rear hallway gives access to the back garden and leads to the fully tiled family shower room. To the first floor, there is a very good sized and bright bedroom to the front, courtesy of 2 separate windows, whilst the rear bedroom benefits from both over bed storage and a built in wardrobe. Externally, the delightful south east facing front garden will certainly appeal to those with gardening tendencies, having been very well maintained by the current vendor. The rear garden is of a courtyard style. It has a small tool shed with a larger shed with both potting and workshop space. Beyond this shed, a gate leads out to the rear driveway which offers off road parking, accessed from the main road behind with space for one to two vehicles. In terms of location and amenities, there is a children’s park just down from the property and the local village hall, which we understand holds regular local events, is within a short walking distance. Carharrack offers local amenities including a convenience store, a Chinese takeaway and other amenities.
