Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Sancreed, this end-of-terrace granite cottage offers compelling countryside living with year-round sunroom and sweeping views towards Mounts Bay. The house feels characterful throughout, with exposed oak timbers, a box-bay window seat and a freestanding woodburner that creates a cosy focal point in the open-plan living space. The garden is larger than expected for a cottage of this size, with a paved patio and lawn that wrap around the property, providing private outdoor space and room to potter or entertain.
Practical features include double glazing (installed post-2002), electric central heating with an electric boiler and storage heaters, and an off-street parking space adjacent to the property. The useful plant/utility room houses the boiler, hot water cylinder and laundry appliances, keeping services tucked away from living areas. The cottage is offered freehold and with no onward chain, making for a straightforward purchase timeline for a buyer seeking immediate occupation.
Buyers should note the property’s age and traditional granite construction: external walls are as-built granite/whinstone and assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect heating costs despite double glazing and the woodburner. The EPC is rated E, and heating is primarily electric, so further insulation or heating upgrades could improve efficiency and running costs. Parking is a single marked space on a shared graveled area, not exclusive use of a larger parking zone.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a charming rural home near Penzance and St Just, particularly downsizers or second-home buyers wanting low-crime, well-connected countryside living. It also offers potential for modest improvements (insulation, heating) to enhance comfort and energy performance while retaining its period character.
