Property description

This traditional detached two bedroom Cornish stone cottage is situated in a tucked away and sheltered position within the heart of the Cornish village of Polyphant. It benefits from an enclosed mature garden, garage, off road parking and comes to the market with no onward chain. EPC rating F.

This pretty stone cottage, we are told, was constructed during the 1800's from local stone. It is situated in a conservation area next to the post box and the picturesque village green. It is safely tucked away behind a large timber gate, which when opened is large enough to allow vehicle access to a private and enclosed garden with hard standing providing plenty of space for a vehicle. There is also a detached garage located a short distance from the property. The compact, magical garden is made up with established attractive shrubs and trees with a couple of slate pathways allowing visitors to wonder through and admire the planting, especially enjoyable on a hot summer's day under the protective canopy of leaves. A useful characterful stone shed and log store are also included within the sale.

Attached to the only entrance door of the rendered cottage is a glass lean-to and porch. Inside, the cottage benefits from original rag slate floors and dark painted beams to the ceiling throughout the two rooms that form the ground floor. The focal point of the cosy living room is the exposed stone that forms the inglenook fireplace with an oil burning stove set on a slate hearth that heats the radiators throughout the property and the hot water. There are also night storage heaters in place. The kitchen/breakfast room also has a wood burning stove set into its chimney, as well as a clome oven. There are a number of light coloured units positioned under a wood effect roll top working surface with space and plumbing for a washing machine. The window reveal allows space for a window seat.

Up a flight of stairs which are situated in the centre of the home can be found the two double bedrooms. The larger of the two rooms has a generous fitted wardrobe installed. The final room on this floor is the bathroom which has a blue coloured three piece suite with an electric shower over the panelled bath.

Most of the windows are double glazed. This property would suit buyers looking to put their own mark on their Cornish home.

Polyphant is situated seven miles South West of Launceston and has a Methodist Chapel and village shop. Further village amenities, such as a County Primary School, Village Post Office and Stores, Doctors Surgery, Parish Church and Public House located in the nearby village of Lewannick. Launceston Town Centre itself boasts a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities. The A30 dual carriageway is approximately three minutes from the property, giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.
