Set in around an acre of mature gardens, this substantial detached cottage offers generous family living near the Carrick Roads. Period features include exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room opening to a breakfast snug — spaces that suit day‑to‑day family life and entertaining.
The house benefits from solar panels and a ground‑source heat pump with underfloor heating, offering low‑carbon running potential. Parking is easy with a private driveway, ample hardstanding and a single garage. The location is peaceful and rural yet within easy reach of Truro, Falmouth and local sailing waters.
There are a number of practical points to note. The ground‑source array is currently shared with a neighbour; a new owner must install their own system within six months of purchase. The property has traditionally constructed granite walls with assumed no cavity insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so buyers should expect improvement works to optimise thermal performance. Broadband speeds are very slow and the electrical, heating and appliances have not been tested.
Overall this is a large, characterful family home on a very large plot with strong potential for energy upgrades and garden projects. It will particularly suit buyers seeking rural privacy, expansive outdoor space and scope to improve thermal performance and modern services.
