2 bed semi-detached house for sale

St Buryan, Nr Penzance TR19

Description

In the centre of St Buryan, a very popular village with beautiful surrounding countryside, is this quaint and beautifully finished two bedroom home with a sunny rear garden and lots of original, charming features.

What is striking about this home, is the owner's passion for enhancing the character that naturally exists with any Grade-ii listed property. The detail of decor, and light fittings elevates the home to feel grand, yet humble. On the ground floor is a good-size, dual aspect sitting room with two original georgian sash windows to the front - this leads through to the kitchen, which is irregular in shape, but has some excitingly creative solutions in terms of storage.

From the kitchen, there is a timber stable door leading out to the rear garden which is primarily gravelled for ease of maintenance, but there is a decked area to the end where the owner has installed a timber workshop/summerhouse that he is hoping to take with him when he moves.

To the first floor, off a light and long rear hallway are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom is exquisitely finished with a large walk-in shower, built-in storage, and fabulous decorative finishes. Both bedrooms have beautiful original floorboards, and while both bedrooms are double bedroom size, the end bedroom has been adapted to accommodate bunks, with an additional third "pull-down" bed making the house incredibly flexible.
