DESCRIPTION

Starlight Cottage was, we believe a former farm cottage which was probably built in the early 1900’s and has been in our client’s ownership for the past 25 years. It has been a much loved and cared for home which is now being sold with reluctance.

Set back from a quiet farm driveway, behind a deep primrose filled grass verge, off the road into Ladock, Starlight Cottage enjoys a peaceful, private and elevated position with superb countryside views. Suitable for modernisation, refurbishment or complete remodelling, the accommodation flows well and includes a large lounge, bright kitchen and a third bedroom or separate dining room, accessed from the kitchen or reception hall. We believe that Starlight Cottage has been extended at least twice, including a family bathroom and two further bedrooms - all of which are accessed off a second hallway.

One of Starlight Cottage’s greatest assets are its lawned gardens which wrap around three sides and from which superb views out across rolling countryside to the west are enjoyed. 3 Ref: LCAA7668 A parking area, edged by stone walls, and large enough for two vehicles is to the north of the property which has previously had planning permission (which has now lapsed) to be converted into a garage.

In all, a superb opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow in a peaceful location with fantastic countryside views yet only a short distance from Truro. In the market to be sold immediately with no onward chain.

LOCATION

Starlight Cottage is found just before entering the village of Ladock which is set in an attractive valley of open farmland and woodland beside the Tresillian River.

With major retail, leisure and commercial facilities found in Cornwall’s capital city Truro, which is just 7 miles away, Starlight Cottage offers all the benefits of rural life but with all the perks of a city centre just a short drive away. Waitrose supermarket is on the east side of Truro as is a park and ride scheme into the centre of the city.

Truro has a main railway station which provides a direct link to London Paddington (approximate travel time 4½ hours). Below Truro there is access to the boating and sailing waters of the Tresillian River, and the Fal providing some of the best day sailing facilities and amenities with active yacht clubs at Falmouth, Mylor and .

Ladock is an extremely convenient and central location with easy access to the Roseland Peninsula, Truro and northwards to the A30 which then remains largely dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it joins the M5 motorway. Cornwall Airport lies to the north west providing daily shuttle flights to a growing range of national and international destinations. There are local golf courses at Golf Club, Carlyon Bay Golf Club and Truro Golf Club and to the south of Truro is Killiow Golf Club. 4 Ref: LCAA7668 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate)
