4 bedroom semi-detached house

Early 19th century cottage with four bedrooms in an idyllic location with river and sea views.

Description

Greatwood Cottage, a Grade 11 listed early 19th century cottage, forms part of a small terrace of three cottages at the end of a private lane on the banks of the river Fal. The cottage was renovated and extended in 2018 but has kept many of its original features and retained the essence and charm of what was originally a farm workers cottage.
The front entrance porch leads into the spacious entrance hall with slate flooring, stairs to first floor and doors to the dining room and sitting room.

The dining room has a slate floor which carries on through to the kitchen, original cast iron range, some built-in storage and a window seat overlooking the front garden. From the dining room steps lead up to the kitchen. This is a well-designed kitchen with plenty of storage and work surfaces with an integrated undercounter double oven, four ring electric hob, dishwasher, washing machine, under counter fridge a further fridge/freezer and stable door to garden. Off the kitchen is the large shower room with boiler cupboard housing electric boiler and hot water cylinder.

The sitting room is a charming cosy room with wood burning stove, some built-in storage and steps leading up to the second shower room.

On the first floor are two large double bedrooms and a single bedroom all with lovely river and sea views. From the landing the staircase continues up a short flight of stairs leading to the fourth large double bedroom and family bathroom.

The Gardens-

The gardens of Greatwood Cottage are split into two distinct areas. Two paved terraces adjacent to the cottage and the tiered garden to the rear.
At the front of the cottage is a small paved terraced area with a path that leads around to the side terrace just off the kitchen from which one can get a view of the river and sea beyond and access into the kitchen via a stable door. At the rear are a series of paths and stone steps that lead to two good sized terraces. The first being mainly laid to lawn before reaching the final decked terrace adjacent to the summer house which has panoramic views of the river Fal and sea beyond.

Both the front and rear gardens are well stocked with mature planting of flower boarders and hedging at the front and at the rear mainly a mixture of shrubbery and trees to include an impressive Monkey Puzzle tree, magnolia tree and a variety of mature hydrangeas

Summer House-

The summer house was completed in 2002 and is currently used as ancillary accommodation to the house with bespoke built-in bunk beds, shower room and storage cupboard with electric heating. From the summer house are French doors leading out to the large decked terrace with stunning views of the river and out to sea.

Garage/parking-

The single garage is the last one at the end of the terrace accessed from the private lane. There is also a further parking space adjacent to the cottage at the rear.
