Sparnon Gate, Redruth TR16

Situated within the settlement of Sparnon Gate and convenient for the major town of Redruth, Illogan and the A30, Cask Cottage is a deceptively large home which forms part of a conversion to the 'Cornish Arms' Public House which dates from the 1860's. Retaining many character features and extended to the rear, there are three double sized bedrooms and a remodelled bathroom on the first floor. Approached from the rear there is access to a light and airy kitchen/dining/living area.

To the front is a generous lounge with feature stone fireplace and beamed ceiling, there is a utility room which also gives access to a WC. Set off the inner hall is a staircase to the first floor with exposed stone featuring a 'quiet' reading area on the landing. With the exception of two small windows, there is uPVC double glazing and the cottage is warmed by an lpg gas combination boiler.

To the rear is an enclosed secure garden which is ideal for those with pets and younger children and from here there is parking for three cars.

In summary, a character family home that requires a closer inspection to be fully appreciated, viewing our interactive virtual tour is strongly recommended prior to arranging a closer inspection.
