GENERAL COMMENTS

Chumbles Cottage is a very attractive period cottage located in the heart of St Just In Roseland and within a short drive of St Mawes. The creek and church are also within walking distance and the King Harry ferry provides swift access to Truro and Falmouth. The cottage is full of wonderful period features including stables door, exposed beams, rounded walls and a fabulous inglenook fireplace in the sitting room with clome oven. It has been in our client's ownership for many years and has been greatly improved during this time whilst retaining all of its charm and character. It is one of the oldest property's within the village and was originally three smaller cottages now amalgamated into Chumbles. The accommodation is extremely versatile and at the moment is divided into two including the main part and a one bedroom cottage that has been let out in the past as there is independent access. Alternatively, ideal for a dependent relative or young family member or easily amalgamated into one large home. The accommodation of the main cottage includes: entrance porch, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, pantry/utility and study on the ground floor with three bedrooms, bathroom and additional shower room upstairs. An interconnecting door from the study leads through to the annexe/holiday let. This cottage has a large lounge/dining room, kitchen and garden room on the ground floor with a double bedroom, bathroom and study/occasional child's bedroom upstairs. The main cottage benefits from oil fired heating and double glazing, whilst the annexe has electric heating and separate electric meter. Outside is a fabulous enclosed garden that enjoys complete privacy and a sunny aspect. There are many mature shrubs and plants and a path meanders through to the single garage with light and power and there are two garden sheds. Beyond the garage is a parking space. An internal viewing is essential.

Here is also a popular cafe/tea room. The village has a bus route which goes via surrounding villages to Truro. The property is also close to St Mawes and this has an international reputation as one of the country's most sought after areas in which to reside with a distinctive Mediterranean atmosphere.
