Portscatho, Truro, Cornwall, TR2

This deceptively spacious and beautifully presented three bedroom character cottage is set within a nicely tucked away location within the heart of the village and yet within around a minutes walk of the beach, village shops and facilities.

The cottage has a generous internal accommodation that has a lovely contemporary feel due to the substantial updating programme implemented by the current owners that has sympathetically retained the character of the cottage combined with a stylish interior giving this cottage a lovely feel with its own very pleasing identity with accommodation that is a real pleasure to spend time in.

The first floor accommodation has interesting village and sea glimpses from each room and certainly gives a feel of the sea conditions throughout the seasons for the keen sailor and water sports enthusiast.

The cottage also features a low maintenance and walled rear garden with rear gated access as well as with direct access from the house.

Internally the cottage features updated kitchen with gloss white fronted units, updated bathroom with Travertine style tiled walls, double glazed windows and external doors, fireplace with multi fuel burning stove, contemporary style and programmable wall mounted electric wall heaters and as well as the lounge fireplace with its slate hearth, the cottage retains its character with its exposed old pine floorboards that are found on both the ground floor and the first floor and are a real feature with their lovely light honey coloured tone. The period staircase to the first floor also has exposed similar old pine treads.

The cottage is currently used as a personal holiday home combined with being let out on an holiday let basis with great income potential and can be bought furnished and equipped subject to negotiation, so that a buyer can inherit any future bookings and continue holiday letting the property.

Entrance porch, spacious lounge/ dining room with fireplace and multi fuel burning stove, kitchen/ breakfast room, rear lobby, utility room, first floor landing, three first floor bedrooms all with sea glimpses and there is a family bathroom again with lovely sea views. Courtyard garden.
