Description

This charming semi-detached cottage is situated in the tranquil heart of a picturesque village, surrounded by stunning countryside and just a short distance from the scenic Pentewan Valley. Ideal for those seeking a slice of rural living, this property offers potential for significant transformation. The cottage features an entrance hall that leads into a lounge/dining area with an open fireplace, two modest bedrooms, and a kitchen with basic amenities. The wet room is functional but dated, requiring updates. The outdoor space includes a deceptively spacious garden area currently obscured by several timber sheds, providing ample opportunity to create a beautiful garden once cleared. While the home benefits from gas central heating and UPVC windows and doors, it requires extensive renovation to unlock its full potential. Please note that there is no parking available on-site.
