This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a traditional Grade II listed cottage in an area steeped in local history.

Situated in the centre of Churchtown, Illogan, this detached period house is believed to date from the 1870s.

The ground floor has two very generous receptions rooms focusing on a granite fire surround with a wood burning stove (reception one) and a fitted kitchen/diner that leads to a rear cloakroom.

To the outside, there are enclosed cottage-style gardens to both front and rear and these are well-stocked with mature planting. The rear garden is of a generous size, level and laid mainly to lawn and forms a blank canvas for keen gardeners to put their stamp on.
