Description
This extremely stylish home, that has been created by the interior designer owner, currently offers 4 bedrooms, 4 bath / shower rooms and boasts several interesting character features including beamed ceilings, a lovely fireplace with a granite lintel, newly fitted wood-burning stove and clome oven. There is an additional newly fitted wood-burning stove in the dining hall offering cosy moments outside the spring / summer months of Cornish sunshine.Initial outside impressions do not reflect the depth of family sized accommodation on offer, as this charming cottage is well screened from the rural lane and sits in the centre of beautiful well stocked and private surrounding gardens

Little Roseland (As seen today)
Upon entering the property, one is overwhelmed with the tasteful interior bursting with character and sentimental details. The dining hall banister was designed and made by the owner in 2004. The pebble fish step in the kitchen was created the week of the owner's wedding! The freestanding 19ft kitchen/breakfast room will delight, opening onto the gardens. Each bedroom is served by its own bath or shower room, offering flexible family accommodation alongside the careful use of natural honed tiles and electric under-floor heating options, a free-standing bath, power showers, each bathroom being unique in design.

Little Roseland (As per the Planning Permission)
A major selling feature is that planning permission exists, under application number PA20/07396, offering huge potential to substantially enlarge the living and bedroom spaces with extensions on the south east and north east elevations as well as on the first floor on the north west elevation, thus creating a principal bedroom suite comprising large bedroom, separate dressing room and en-suite shower or bathroom. On the south east elevation, the existing conservatory is knocked down to create a large garden / family room and dining area with dual aspect tri-fold doors to allow the colourful gardens within. The current kitchen is dramatically enlarged by removing the greenhouse and building a two-storey extension on the north east elevation, thus creating a further en-suite bedroom above and allowing the new kitchen to flow open plan into the dining area and garden room.

The Gardens
The landscaped gardens, which are a year-round delight, wrap around the property mainly on two sides and enjoy a sunny southerly aspect. They are stocked with a wide variety of ornamental trees and grasses, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. The stream and well hark back to a bygone era where cattle used to drink. There are two areas of lawn and also a paved patio outside the Dining Conservatory, laid by the owner in 2005. The hard standing area used to house a log cabin office / design studio, and latterly a children's play area, now the perfect alfresco dining space for brunch or supper.The gardens are enclosed by established hedging and some panel fencing, post and rail and back onto and overlook farmland to the rear. A notable feature is a raised decked area to one corner of the gardens, which captures the evening sun, ideal for sundowners or a snooze in the swing chair.
