3 bed detached house for sale

Sancreed, Penzance TR20

A charming and sympathetically updated 3 bedroom character cottage set in beautiful, idyllic and peaceful location with a stunning south facing garden and separate studio space.

Ennis Cottage has been lovingly and sympathetically updated by the current owners to provide stylish, light-filled, and modern accommodation, whilst retaining the unique character and charm the cottage enjoys. This is immediately evident in the spacious and bright living/dining room with two feature inglenook fireplaces, one with a statement Dik Geurts wood-burning stove, complementing the contemporary styling and décor. Adjacent to this is the kitchen/breakfast room where modern shaker-style units contrast beautifully with the traditional flagstone flooring and sash windows. Beyond the kitchen lies a beautiful garden room which is a valuable additional reception space offering direct access to the garden. A separate utility room and a convenient WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the modern and stylish décor continues most notably in the principal bedroom which benefits from an en suite bathroom. There are two further generously sized bedrooms on this level along with a contemporary shower room.

Outside, a substantial studio space measuring approximately 19’9” x 16’5” sits above the double garage. Featuring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, this room is currently arranged as an attractive additional bedroom and working from home space but offers potential for a variety of uses. In addition, there is a further attached outbuilding, currently used for storage, which presents scope for development (subject to any necessary planning consents).

The gardens are a standout feature of Ennis Cottage. South-facing and extending to approximately one-third of an acre, they are beautifully planted and offer a high degree of privacy and seclusion - a perfect setting in which to relax and enjoy the sun. In addition to the double garage, there is ample driveway parking for three or more vehicles.
