Property description
DESCRIPTION Situated on the fringes of the popular village of Landscove, Morcosia is accessed from the country lane through double gates into the driveway which sweeps up from the front of the property around to the carport at the rear. The property sits within a generous sized plot with gardens at the front laid mainly to lawn with an area of orchard that boasts a number of mature fruit trees as well as mature borders. Steps rise from the front garden to a spacious patio area with space for table and chairs, giving access to the main front door as well as wrapping round to the rear.
The property has provided a loved family home since its construction and has been more recently extended to provide a very flexible property that could be used to provide one spacious family house or divided to create an annexe/ancillary accommodation as required.
Its location on the edge of the village affords it some wonderful views whilst also being within walking distance of the centre of the village and all that it has to offer.
Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate all that this unique property has to offer.
