Ripe for redevelopment

Traditional detached cottage

Secluded ¹/₆^th acre level plot 

Quiet setting at end of no through road

Central location between Truro, Redruth & the north coast

Situation

This idyllic setting, abutting farmland with open views, is tucked away in a quiet and private spot, at the end of no through road. This wonderful traffic free location feels secluded and yet not isolated as it is just 1½ miles from the A30 at Scorrier.  The major town of Redruth is just 3 miles away where there is a wide range of schools, shops, health and leisure facilities plus a stop on the Paddington to Penzance railway line. The awe inspiring north Cornish coast and beaches at Portreath, Porthtowan and Chapel Porth are within a 4 mile drive, as is the pretty beach and village of St Agnes. Truro is 7 miles away for an even greater range of amenities, including RCH Tresliske.

The Property

A detached cottage that has been extended over the years but is now in need of considerable repair and refurbishment. As it is, and once improved, it could become a cosy home yet others may see potential for complete re-modelling or even replacement.  The cottage has oil-fired heating, a shower room with wc and kitchen, and until very recent times the property has been lived in. 

It sits within a level plot extending to approx. 0.16 acres, at the end of a narrow lane that wouldn’t be suitable for anything larger than, for example, a transit van.  The property backs on to fields to the front and rear and within the overgrown gardens there are various dilapidated sheds and a large amount of rubbish, including two vehicles, all of which will remain in-situ.

SERVICES

Mains electricity and water are connected to the property. Private drainage. None of these services have been tested and therefore no guarantees can be given.
