2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Nangitha Place, Budock Water TR11

The property

Almas Cottage, 1 Nangitha Place has been a much loved house, in the same family ownership for 30 years. Built as one of a pair of distinctive stone ‘semis’, likely in the mid to late 1800s, the house has a charm and originality that is rather special and very hard to find. All is comfortable and nicely proportioned within; there are two double bedrooms and bathroom upstairs and a fitted kitchen/dining room and a sitting room downstairs. Exposed floorboards, painted paneled doors and a fireplace with multifuel stove, all blends nicely with in-keeping UPVC double glazed windows and a radiator central heating and hot water system fueled by a Worcester propane gas fired boiler. From the landing, a fold down ladder accesses a versatile attic room with dual Velux windows, a radiator and excellent head height at its apex. Unusually to the rear, is an established garden that’s over 100’ long where there is a magnificent beech tree at its end and the sound of the river running beyond.

The location

Almas Cottage nestles in the heart of Budock Water, beside the village hall and perhaps 100 yards from the excellent village store and popular Trelowarren Arms Public House. There is a strong sense of community in the village, with occupants of all ages and some glorious countryside and walks all around. Just down the road a few paces away is cj’s At The Sanctuary, a family run restaurant, set within a former Methodist Chapel, which is getting some rave reviews and has a wonderful looking menu. The property lies en route to Mawnan Smith and the Helford River, about 2 and 4 miles away respectively, whilst Falmouth harbour town is just 2.5 miles. Falmouth town and its harbourside has an eclectic mixture of national shops and independents, together with galleries showcasing local arts and crafts, as well as great places to eat and drink. Falmouth's seafront, is on the town's southern side, with sandy beaches, Henry viii's Pendennis Castle and access to incredible walks and scenery along the Southwest Coastal Path. Train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. There are five primary schools and one secondary school in the town and highly regarded independent preparatory and senior schools in Truro. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country; little wonder the town is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
