2 bed cottage for sale

Vogue, St. Day TR16

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this traditional semi detached cottage is situated in the popular area of Vogue and benefits from well proportioned accommodation. There are two good sized bedrooms, two separate reception rooms, a kitchen/diner and a first floor bathroom. The property is double glazed and this is complemented by oil fired heating plus a wood burner. Externally there are lovely mature cottage style gardens plus the bonus of a large garage/workshop and parking facilities.

We are very pleased to bring to market this charming two bedroom cottage, built in the 1850's which will offer the purchaser an opportunity to acquire a property on which they can make their own stamp. Tucked behind tall stone walls to two sides, the front garden offers a quiet sense of seclusion and charm leading down to a porch with seating space that gets all the benefits of a south facing garden. Internally, a delightful front reception room with a beamed ceiling and wood burner set on a slate hearth in an original fireplace completes the warmth and charm of this room. Thereafter, an open doorway leads through to a second reception room/dining room that benefits from a built-in bookcase and Velux skylight, perhaps making this room a relaxing reading room should appeal to the new owners. Furthermore, one can be seated looking out onto the rear garden. A door leads through to the rear hallway from where the rear garden can be accessed which also has the benefit of a downstairs toilet with wash basin. From this hallway, a low level internal archway leads into the open plan kitchen/dining room with a Rangemaster range electric cooker and breakfast bar adjacent to the dining area, making this a splendid area not only for food preparation and eating but also for socialising. From here, you can return to the hallway before ascending to the first floor landing. On the first floor, you will find two large bedrooms, both looking out over the front garden with views to the south over open countryside. Both bedrooms are complemented by a very good sized family bathroom with a separate bath and shower cubicle. Externally, this cottage has a serene front garden that has been carefully tended to a high standard by the previous owner and would ideally suit those buyers with a keen interest in gardening. To the rear, there is a large garage come workshop with additional parking in front. From there, the back garden can be accessed and this is made up of a number of raised beds with gravel borders, presenting further opportunities to plant and grow. To conclude, this property may also present opportunities to extend, of course subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions. In terms of location, the property is within approximately one third of a mile of St Day village centre which offers two general stores, a post office and a butchers. In addition, there are two highly rated public houses, each within a few minutes walking distance. Further afield, Portreath beach can be reached in less than twenty minutes by car and other notable attractions such as Tehidy Country Park and Tehidy Golf Club are within a similar distance. Falmouth, Truro and Helston are all relatively equidistant by car whilst there are also bus services to Redruth and Truro.
