Description

Rarely available, a 2.2 acre smallholding with 2-bedroom detached cottage set amidst countryside between Falmouth and Helston.

The Property
This highly individual detached cottage has been in this family's ownership for more than 40 years and is now being sold to close an estate. During his ownership, the late owner extended and improved the property creating a small and cosy character home that today would benefit from aesthetic improvements.

The property comprises an entrance hall, lounge with wood burner and mezzanine, 2 double bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, all warmed by oil fired central heating.

Along with the garage and useful workshop the property is nestled within 2.2 acres, part of which is given over to private and mature gardens whilst the majority is a grass paddock with gated access off the entrance track.
