Why You'll Like It

This surprising two double bedroom reverse level cottage has been beautifully remodelled and renovated by the current owner including replacing the roof and repointing inside and out with lime mortar. The courtyard is a select group of cottages tucked away at the edge of Truro in a delightful rural setting where you have the feel of country living combined with the reassurance of a community. There is a large parking area for residents where each property has a carport. The carport for this home has been renovated and has a large storage area which has been built to the rear. From the car park that is a pleasant short stroll down a path to the courtyard which is a delightful quadrangle with a central garden. On approach you immediately notice that the pretty stone front has been carefully lime pointed. Once inside you step into a spacious entrance hallway and the property is reverse level having two ground floor bedrooms one with an en-suite and a separate family bathroom. There are stairs to the first floor which is completely open plan giving a vast dual aspect vaulted kitchen / living / dining space with a mezzanine study area. The kitchen is beautifully designed and truly minimal with solid stone style work surfaces which have an undermounted sink with drainer grooves inset. Appliances are built in with a Neff slide and hide multifunction oven and Neff microwave combination oven with warming draw below. There's a white induction hob with extractor over and the dishwasher and washing machine are also built in. From the first floor the views are lovely and the whole room has a fantastic feeling of space and light due to the tall vaulted ceiling and inset downlights which are dimmable. There's a cosy wood burning stove in the living area and a fixed ladder takes you to the mezzanine level which could be used for storage or as a study area. On the ground floor, bedroom one has a beautifully fitted en-suite shower room and there is clever built-in storage under the stairs. Both the en-suite and the family bathroom are fitted with gorgeous solid marble tiling and panelling and have underfloor heating. From bedroom two (which also has built-in storage) there is a large window which doubles as a door for access to the rear garden which is a lovely place to enjoy the sunshine. To the side of the property is a useful storage shed accessed from the front. This unique property has been very thoughtfully updated with great attention to improving the layout and overall quality. It's a delightful property that will interest many different buyers including first time buyers, downsizers, investors or those looking for a holiday property (Previous Airbnb earnings can be shared on request)
