Charming two-bed cottage — chain-free and tenanted, ready for occupation or rental..
Chain-free two-bedroom character cottage with period features
A well-preserved two-bedroom Cornish cottage in the small hamlet of Lower Treluswell, offered chain-free and currently tenanted. Period features include exposed beams, wooden floorboards, sash windows and a stone facade, giving character and kerb appeal. The living room has an open fireplace and the kitchen/diner benefits from an inset wood burner and engineered oak flooring, creating cosy, authentic living spaces.
Practicalities favour both investors and owner-occupiers: two double bedrooms upstairs, a ground-floor bathroom and a sunny southerly rear garden with raised deck. One on-road parking space sits immediately outside; the plot is small and maintenance is modest. The cottage is freehold, built before 1900, with modern double glazing fitted post-2002 and conventional boiler heating supplemented by solid fuel.
Notable considerations: the granite/whinstone walls are likely uninsulated (as built) which may affect heating costs; broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The property is an end-terrace within a hamlet setting a short drive from Penryn, with good road links to Truro, Falmouth and Redruth. The current tenant is willing to stay, offering immediate rental income if required.
Overall this is a compact, characterful home or ready-made rental in an affluent, low-crime semi-rural location. Buyers seeking period charm with modest running costs should expect potential improvement works (insulation, broadband upgrade) to maximise comfort and long-term value.
