DESCRIPTION

8 Parkancreeg is situated in a highly sought after cul-de-sac location a level walk from a bus route to Truro and Falmouth, local shop and village facilities. The property was built, we believe, in the late 1960s with bright and spacious accommodation having been the subject of recent expenditure to include a new gas fired central heating system via a combination mains gas boiler, some replacement double glazing and redecoration and carpets, but still offers scope for further modernisation and extension particularly within the large roof space.

The property is approached over a long driveway with good sized level garden to an entrance porch and L-shaped hallway with oak parquet floor. There is a bright and spacious sitting room with living flame mains gas wood burner style fire, kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms – the third bedroom having recently installed uPVC patio doors to the rear garden, bathroom and separate wc. At the side of the property there is a covered access way and rear porch and door to the tandem length double garage.

Externally the property is set well back from the road with a good sized level lawned garden with mature shrubs. The rear garden faces south east and therefore benefits from any available sunshine throughout most of the day with level lawn, two patio areas and is surrounded by maturing shrubs giving a good degree of privacy.

Considered to be ideal for either retirement or a smaller family home but with ample scope to extend within the roof space or on the ground floor subject to all necessary consents.

LOCATION

Parkancreeg is situated on the western side of the village and is a short level walk to the local shop and village facilities. The surrounding area has many beautiful walks through the soft undulating countryside as well as around the edge of the creeks near Feock. A short distance away is the National Trust owned Trelissick House estate which is extremely popular with dog walkers and cyclists can enjoy the Coast to Coast cycle trail (Bissoe trail) which leads from Devoran through to the mining heritage landscape at Portreath on the north coast with trails and offshoots passing a cycle hire shop, cafés and inns. The area is also highly regarded for sailing with smaller craft able to be launched at Loe Beach in Feock, where there is a café and sailing centre. Larger yachts can be kept at Mylor or Falmouth where there are a full range of laying up and boatyard facilities. The Carrick Roads are regarded as some of the ’s finest and safest sailing waters and there are regattas throughout the season organised by the many clubs in the area.
