Situation
Little Boquio is situated in the wonderful rural setting in a renowned agricultural district surrounded by gently rolling countryside. The property is perfectly situated for easy access to the ancient market town of Helston, home to RNAS Culdrose and the annual Furry Dance, the bustling harbour town of Falmouth with its excellent maritime facilities, the university campus at Tremough, Penryn and the City of Truro, the administration centre for Cornwall with excellent retail, health, leisure, education and business facilities. The large conurbation of Camborne and Redruth is within easy commuting distance and is the main shopping, education and employment centre in West Cornwall. Stithians Lake and Country Park with its excellent water sports activities and also very popular for fly fishing, walking and bird watching etc is only 5 miles from the property. For the equine enthusiast, there are numerous country lanes and bridle paths providing excellent riding out.
The Property
The cottage has in recent years been extended and improved to create a highly individual and practical home. It has been further upgraded by its current owners and successfully combines the look and feel of a Cornish cottage with modern features such as both thermal and 4KW PV panels with battery storage, private borehole water supply and private drainage, double glazing and contemporary kitchen and bathroom. Electric heating is complemented by no less than three wood burners creating a wonderfully warm and cosy environment.
At ground floor radiating off the spacious reception hallway, is the split level kitchen/dining room adjacent to which are a cloakroom and an office, the living room, a further sitting room, both with wood burners, a superb garden room, and second office/rear hall, and finally bedroom three or as purposed by its current owners, a useful boot room/store. At first floor, there are two bright double bedrooms each with their own en-suites, plus to the larger of the two, a dressing room.
Outside the property is set within approximately 11 acres and is accessed over a long driveway off which is ample parking, a pond and gates to the lower paddock. The driveway continues to a further parking area directly in front of the cottage and the annexe, aptly named Beacon View, and continues in a loop back to the lower part of the access lane. The single storey annexe has been used as a successful holiday let and attached to it is a good sized workshop offering perhaps further potential subject to planning.
The well-established gardens enjoy a southerly aspect, extending mainly to the rear. Here to and to one side is the majority of the land, currently used in part for chickens, ducks and sheep, with the remainder given over to grass with a strong focus on wildflower and wildlife conservation.
