DESCRIPTION Daisy Cottage is situated within an attractive former farmstead of Resugga between the A30 and the county capital of Truro. The property comprises a double garage, workshop and utility room above which is a self-contained one bedroom apartment. Planning permission has been granted for the property to be converted into a three bedroom detached dwelling with surrounding garden areas, hard terracing at the front facing south west and parking area. Daisy Cottage enjoys lovely views out over the surrounding countryside and enjoys a tranquil rural environment. The current self-contained apartment and garage area has an oil tank and oil central heating supply with mains water and electricity connected. The services required for the conversion are all at hand. Daisy Cottage will have shared private drainage with three other properties. The vehicular access will not be through the main gates of Resugga Farmhouse (the current 3 Ref: LCAA8304 garage approach) but will be accessed from driving past the main entrance to Resugga Farmhouse, around a corner in the lane which will give access to a large gravelled parking area above the cottage with a path leading down into the gardens. There would be space enough in the parking area (subject to planning) for a garage to be created.

The pretty country lane that approaches the property, also provides easy access out to the A39 which links Truro to the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road). The A30 provides a mainly dual carriageway link all the way northwards to Exeter where it joins the M5 motorway and A303 to London. Truro is the main commercial, administrative, legal and retailing centre of Cornwall and offers schooling facilities at junior and secondary levels together with highly regarded private schools including, very nearby, Polwhele House Preparatory School – 3-13 years. Truro has a main line rail link to London Paddington (approximate travel time 4½ hours) and Cornwall Airport Newquay at St Mawgan is a short drive away providing internal shuttle flights to London, other UK city destinations and some European ones. The nearest village of Trispen provides a local shop and inn together with primary school. The Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) on the north western perimeter of Truro is the main county hospital and is about a fifteen minute drive away. There are golf courses within easy reach at Truro and at Killiow. Between Truro and Falmouth the tributaries and creeks of the River Fal provide access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country and a wide variety of sailing facilities and services.
