A rare and substantial detached cottage on one of Mylor’s most desirable roads, offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years. The house combines original granite character, beamed ceilings and a bow-bay sitting room with a hugely extended modern wing, creating flexible accommodation that can provide four bedrooms comfortably and up to five if required. Large reception spaces include an almost 30ft lounge and a 21ft second reception, ideal for families who need separate living, play or home-working zones.
Externally the plot is a major asset: pretty, well-stocked cottage gardens, a quiet hidden patio and a large block-paved parking area that will take multiple cars, a boat or a camper van. Creek glimpses and pedestrian access to the water are approximately 100 yards away, putting boating and waterside walks literally on the doorstep while the village amenities and primary school are within easy reach.
Practical points to note: the EPC is F and the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler; the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated so upgrading insulation and heating would improve comfort and running costs. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors make the house particularly well suited to buyers who value space, character and proximity to the creek and who are prepared to invest in energy improvements.
Overall this is a rare family-sized home in a peaceful, affluent village setting with versatile living space and significant outdoor and parking advantages — a great opportunity for families, boating enthusiasts or buyers seeking a character property with future improvement potential.
