Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached cottage presents a substantial renovation and investment opportunity, set within a sizable garden of approximately one third of an acre. The lower section of the garden comes with planning permission for a detached three-bedroom dwelling, adding significant potential for development or resale value. The property is situated in a charming semi-rural area, appealing as both a characterful home to restore and as a project for further development. Currently, the cottage requires comprehensive refurbishment but has granted planning consent for an ambitious ground floor extension that aims to enhance and modernize the living space dramatically. The existing layout includes a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, and shower room on the ground floor, alongside two double bedrooms upstairs. The approved plans aim to transform this space into a generous lounge with garden access, an expansive kitchen/breakfast area, utility space, bathroom, and side porch while maintaining the two spacious bedrooms above. A standout feature of this property is its extensive garden that offers excellent privacy due to its mature planting and proximity to open countryside. With sections accessible directly from the cottage including a block-built outhouse and another area currently housing an unkempt greenhouse, this garden holds immense potential for cultivation or landscaping enhancement. To the north of the property lies the planned building plot which has been approved for a two-storey home spanning approximately 101.85 square meters or can be enjoyed simply as part of the expansive garden. Nestled in Polgarth near Crowntown, this location combines tranquil living with convenient access to stunning coastal areas. The surrounding countryside offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities while allowing easy connections to major routes like the A30 leading towards towns such as Truro, Camborne, Redruth, Helston, and The Lizard Peninsula. Families will also appreciate nearby amenities including highly-regarded schools such as Sithney Primary School.
