General Remarks And Location - The hamlet of Menna is set astride the A3058 leading from Summercourt through Brighton Cross and on towards St St Stephen and is essentially a cluster of rural dwellings in a wooded landscape. Menna Vean directly leads off from the road but is very pleasantly screened by a belt of mature trees which affords privacy and shelter. The villages of Ladock and Grampound Road are about 2 miles equidistant and here there are a variety of facilities for everyday needs including post office and shop, primary schools and a parish church at ladock. St Stepehen is slightly further but also affords local facilities and also including a comprehensive secondary school. Menna is well placed for access to the A30 and the busy centres of Truro, St Austell and Newquay are all about 20 minutes driving distance.

The property comprises a detached cottage which is undoubtedly of considerable age and which has been updated but now offers scope for further improvement. It currently affords 3 bedroom accommodation but there is plenty of space to extend, subject to consent., Menna Vean is set in lovely mature wooded grounds of nearly two acres and includes a variety of outbuildings which also have potential. Originally thought to be a smallholding the property may well appeal to those needing a paddock for a horse or alternatively someone wanting to create a fabulous garden in an existing mature setting.

The Cottage - The original and major part of the dwelling is thought to be at least 200 years old and is largely built of stone whilst more recent modifcations and small extensions are of conventional modern construction. Most windows have replacement double glazing and the roof is part cement-fibre slated and part flat felted. Internally the accommodation has typical cottage features including beamed ceilings, varying floor levels and a magnificent inglenook fireplace in the main reception. Heating is provided by a selection of electric storage heaters.
The cottage has been a cherished home for many years but now lends itself for further improvement and upgrading.
