DESCRIPTION

Little Carsluick is a thoroughly delightful typical Cornish cottage occupying a very quiet and peaceful south facing position amidst beautifully well planted level gardens which have been in the past open to the public. The setting however is not isolated on the edge of the village of Godolphin Cross. The surrounding area is one of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall and is readily accessible to the ancient Stannary town of Helston (about 7 miles) and the characterful town of (about 13 miles). The port of Falmouth, St Ives and the cathedral city of are also as easy drive away.

The nearby Lizard Peninsula boasts some of the most scenic and beautiful walks to be found in the south west together with the contrasting rugged coastline and atmospheric sheltered wooded creeks, numerous enchanting and unspoilt fishing villages – the area much loved, visited and mentioned by many literary, poetic and artistic figures.

The village of Godolphin Cross caters for everyday requirements with a primary school and the Godolphin Arms public house. Secondary schools are located at Helston whilst the cathedral city of Truro offers the county’s leading retailing, schooling and business facilities.

Approached off a no-through lane the entrance drive culminates in a parking/turning area immediately in front of the house with the attached double garage to one side. A central half glazed door opens to a delightful open dining room and sitting room with a central staircase and beamed and boarded ceiling. The original Cornish range is in the dining room and there is an open fireplace in the sitting room area. Both these rooms have sash windows to the front and benefit from excellent ceiling height. The fitted kitchen is located to the rear in an extension to the original cottage and has double glazed windows and integrated appliances. Off the kitchen is a snug/study with double glazed window to the rear and double single glazed doors to a Philip Whear conservatory which is a really super room overlooking and with doors out to the garden. There is also a separate wc. On the first floor the two main bedrooms both have vaulted ceilings and windows to the front plus bedroom three and a large bathroom to the rear.

The gardens which extend to about 0.6 of an acre are a true complement to this wonderful, charismatic house and were professionally landscaped about 30 years ago. Now beautifully mature and clearly very carefully planted all those years ago, the garden is a sheer delight. There is a summerhouse/barbecue house with light and power connected 4 Ref: LCAA5809 and a stone faced workshop with a pitched slate roof (light and power also connected) to the rear of the attached garage. There are a series of level lawned areas interspersed by well stocked shrub and plant borders and there is a pond with a waterfall feature. To the rear the garden abuts National Trust land and in one corner is a garden shed and wood store.

We cannot overemphasise the scarcity of opportunity to purchase classic cottages of this quality and in such locations; we believe that Little Carsluick offers outstanding value in every sense in today’s market and advise immediate viewing by arrangement through the vendor’s sole agent.
