Property description
This is a most attractive stone cottage which dates, we understand, from the late 1700s. Located within the conservation area in the heart of Lostwithiel town, Geranium Cottage is within a level walk of the church and many listed buildings, an excellent range of restaurants, pubs, antique and general shops, along with delightful riverside and rural walks in the surrounds.
The cottage has been carefully maintained and improved over the years, with care and detail to retain and enhance on much of the essential character, including exposed ceiling beams, fireplace settings/woodburner, natural timber interior doors and appealing staircase with timber and wrought iron balustrade enclosure.
An excellent additional feature is the enclosed courtyard garden with high stone walls incorporating an old fireplace chimney, together with slate, shingle and concrete patio, and raised beds, providing a delightful external space with complete privacy. The accommodation is served by up to date electric heating complimented by majority double glazing.
Available with vacant possession, no ongoing chain, this cottage could equally suit those seeking a permanent residence or would make an excellent 'lock up and leave' second home investment, and early appointments to appraise in detail are most strongly advised.
