DESCRIPTION

Braeside is the quintessential Cornish cottage with gardens on three sides and to the front, enjoying a lovely country outlook. The house has been sympathetically updated and improved yet retains much of the charm and character expected in a cottage. The most attractive stone elevations sit under a slate roof and there is much use of granite in the gardens. From the lane the driveway is approached via a five bar gate with granite pillars through to the parking area.

The cottage is entered via a wood stable door to the eastern elevation into the vaulted dual aspect kitchen. Steps up to the lovely dual aspect dining room with large patio doors to the sun terrace and views over the countryside. From the dining room, a doorway leads to the original wide hallway which is a useful further reception space. To the rear of the cottage is the fourth bedroom and separate cloakroom and in addition there is a separate utility room with external door to the rear of the cottage. The sitting room is entered from the western side of the hallway and is dual aspect with three windows enjoying the views and has a large granite fire surround with a woodburner. From the hallway, the turning staircase opens onto the landing with a large dual aspect master bedroom and second bedroom to the front of the cottage. To the rear of the cottage is the third bedroom and there is both a bathroom and separate shower room on this level.

The gardens are to three sides of the cottage. To the front is the parking area for 3 cars and on the eastern boundary is a detached outbuilding, ideal for garden furniture and general storage. Immediately in front of the cottage is a terrace facing southwards and taking in the views. To the rear of the cottage, accessed via the side up timber steps or via a vehicular lane to the rear, is the detached garage with further parking area. There is a further level lawned area ripe for cultivation or landscaping and once again enjoys elevated views over the countryside in a southerly direction.

LOCATION

Braeside is set towards the end of a no-through lane in the rural hamlet of Trenear which is situated about 3 miles from the market town of Helston. There are some local schools and amenities in the vicinity with the market town of Helston offering a wide range of shops from departmental stores to local family traders. There are also three primary schools and a secondary school/technology college with private schooling available in the county capital of Truro to the north east.

Access and communication to other towns is good with Redruth some 7 miles distant, Falmouth 11 miles and the county capital of Truro some 15 miles distant and here offers a wide array of leisure, retail and commercial facilities, restaurants, inns and the Hall for Cornwall which hosts and excellent variety of entertainment throughout the year.
