2 bed terraced house for sale

Lemon Hill, Mylor Bridge, Falmouth TR11

An exquisite and enchanting cottage, extensively, meticulously and most tastefully refurbished by the previous owner, to provide a delightful home of immense charm, character and quality, situated in the 'heart' of this sought-after waterside village, with Mylor's excellent and extensive day-to-day amenities 'on the doorstep' and just a short walk from picturesque Mylor Creek and, beyond, the safe, sheltered, day-sailing waters of the Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay. A beautiful home in a superb location - early viewing essential.

The Location

'Mary's House' is situated in the centre of Mylor Bridge whose excellent day-to-day amenities include a bowling club, newsagents, dentist, coffee shop, salon, primary school, church, garage, public house - The Lemon Arms - convenience stores, active community hall, butchers, doctors surgery and regular bus service. A combination not found in many towns nowadays and one of the reasons why Mylor Bridge is one of the most sought-after communities anywhere along the south coast of Cornwall.

Furthermore, access to Mylor Creek is just a few moments' walk from the property, where the quay leads along Trevellan Road to the Carrick Roads, up past Greatwood and around to Restronguet Creek - home of the Pandora Inn - an ideal circular walk indeed! In addition, Church Road on the southern side of Mylor Creek provides direct access to Mylor Harbour - the county's pre-eminent boating location - where there are pontoon, swinging mooring, training, repair and laying-up facilities, as well as a chandlery, sailing club, cafe and restaurant. Both Mylor Creek and Harbour both lead directly onto the safe, sheltered and deep sailing waters of the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads) whose tree-lined tributaries include the Fal and Percuil Rivers. Falmouth Harbour is situated at the mouth of the estuary, with Pendennis and St Anthony Headlands framing the access onto Falmouth Bay, whose western shoreline includes the mouth of the Helford River and coastline of The Lizard peninsula.

Penryn - recently voted as one of the best places to live anywhere in the south west by The Sunday Times and home of the expanding university campus at Tremough - is just two miles distant; the port of Falmouth, internationally renowned for its Oyster and Sea Shanty Festivals etc, is four miles; and the cathedral city of Truro, the county's educational, administrative, health, legal and retailing centre, is approximately nine miles, from where a regular main-line rail link provides direct access to London (Paddington).

The Property

'Mary's House' provides the extremely rare combination of charm and character, now complemented by tasteful up to date fittings, and an attention to detail to the previous owners reconstruction works which is extremely difficult to find, even in properties of substantially greater value.

The pretty front elevation sets an appropriate tone, with the delightful lounge featuring a beamed ceiling, full height stone fireplace with granite inglenook and glass-fronted log-burner, broad, easy rising staircase to the part galleried first floor landing, and twin openings into the full breadth kitchen and dining room. This is an exceptional area, flooded with natural light by virtue of its broad windows and double doors which overlook and open directly onto the sunny, well enclosed and superbly stocked gardens. Furthermore, the previous owners had the foresight to raise the ceiling over the dining area with additional 'wrap around' screens accentuating the light and sense of space. The kitchen itself is well appointed with a comprehensive range of grey-painted Shaker-style units with polished stone worksurfaces between, integrated German appliances and high quality Karndean flooring throughout.

Upstairs, there are two characterful bedrooms, one double aspect with views over the rear gardens, the other with twin deep silled windows to the front, together with a well appointed bathroom/WC with white three-piece suite including a roll-top bath with clawed feet.

Tasteful sealed unit double glazed hardwood windows, with curved reveals, have been installed to the village-facing front elevation, with practical uPVC windows, screens and doors to the rear. Heating is by way of economic electrical radiators which combine to provide a well insulated and low maintenance home with low running costs.

To the rear, is the quite exceptional private garden, well enclosed to all sides by timber fencing and stone walling, with double doors opening from the accommodation, a paved dining terrace, shaped lawn, beautifully stocked borders, south-facing summerhouse and additional stores, one with light and power connected. A delightful garden which enjoys much sunshine whether for that morning coffee or late afternoon aperitif.

In all, an exquisite village home which we strongly recommend interested prospective purchasers arrange to visit without delay.
