Property description
**SALE AGREED** Please phone Stratton Creber, Truro on 01872 275376 to register your interest** TO OCCUPY OR AS A DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. This charming three bedroom traditional Cornish cottage is located on the edge of Trispen village and enjoys both a quiet back lane location along with far reaching countryside views. The property has been habited until recently by the same occupant for the last 40 years and although well kept and maintained, in particular the award winning status gardens, the buyer may wish to renovate the cottage, returning it to its former glory. Sitting on a plot estimated to be around a quarter of an acre with clear scope for extension to the side, front or back (subject to the necessary planning consent), the rendered building is believed to date back to the mid 1800's and is thought to have been three former miner's cottages, we understand the construction to be of stone and granite with a corrugated roof over and a later block sun room addition to the front. The property enjoys a detached garage with additional private parking and is likely to be of high appeal to property developers/investment buyers or those looking for a project home to personalise and enjoy the picturesque surroundings in future years.
The sleepy by-passed village of Trispen is found approximately 4 miles north of Truro City with archetypal Cornish village amenities such as local shops, a post office/general stores, public house, farm shop and an active community centre acting as the hub of the cricket and football clubs.
