Location

The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of Stithians Reservoir, a well-known local amenity offering wildlife interest and opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing and a range of watersports.

There are a number of public footpaths and bridleways in the vicinity, providing excellent access to explore the surrounding landscape. The area will particularly appeal to those with an interest in walking, riding and countryside pursuits.

Local amenities are provided by nearby villages, with a wider range of shopping, schooling, employment and transport facilities available in Penryn, Falmouth, Redruth, Helston, and Truro. The location therefore offers a good balance of rural seclusion, while remaining accessible to a number of nearby towns and the coast.
