Mill Cottage is positioned in the heart of the very popular and attractive village of Rilla Mill. It has been in the ownership of the same family for many decades and been lovingly looked after. Today it is offered for sale with no forward chain and is presented in excellent decorative order. There are many character features such as exposed beams, including stunning ‘A’ frames on the first floor, window seats, latched doors and slate tiled floors. Many of the spaces are dual aspect and face south washing the property with plenty of light.

Rooms include a cosy lounge which has an outlook onto the garden and a feature fireplace with an inset wood burning stove. The kitchen/dining room has room for a good sized table and is well equipped with a range of matching units and shelving. Included in the sale is a fridge and freezer.

The open tread stairs ascend to the first floor where the main bedroom is spacious with a high ceiling. Bedroom two has a useful overhead storage platform and a sun tube which delivers further light. The bathroom/WC has an electric shower over the panelled bath.

Mill Cottage has warmth generated by electric heating, external windows are of a multi paned variety and double glazed. All of the floor coverings are hard wearing and practical. There are wall and spotlights providing the perfect balance of ambience and practicality.

Externally, a wrought iron gate encloses the garden which is one of the main features of the property, upon entering you are greeted with the impressive façade which is clad in wisteria with a large palm tree at the side. There are many lawned areas and a carpet of perennials including bluebells. The long paved and slated pathway continues past the stone store which was recently re-roofed and houses the logs and recycling, further along the summerhouse will be found with a store shed within. A productive area provides potential to grow fine produce. At the top of the garden is the decking which offers the perfect place in which to enjoy a drink of an evening whilst enjoying the birdsong and soundtrack of the river which can be heard from below. The gardens have a range of shrubs and bushes which give it real character and offers escapism.

Mill Cottage is situated in the village of Rilla Mill which has a Public House, Methodist Chapel and Car Repair Garage. Nearby Upton Cross has a Country Primary School, Post Office/Store and the Sterts Theatre.

Launceston is the ancient capital of Cornwall. Attractions include the English Heritage Norman Castle and steam railway, narrow streets and plenty of Georgian and Victorian architecture. Excellent access can be gained to the A30 dual carriageway and both Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. The town is 17 miles from the coastal resort and rugged cliff tops of Bude. Our town square is a conservation area and has a pedestrian-friendly shopping area with cobbled streets.  The Church of St Mary Magdalene in the town centre is one of the most heavily engraved in the country. Typical out-of-town buyers come from the West Midlands and South East seeking retirement/a slower pace of life which is what our county epitomises.  We have a hard-working Launceston in Bloom committee passionate about making the town look attractive throughout all seasons and the Town Council does an excellent job of maintenance and grass cutting.  In 2011 HRH the Duchess of Cornwall opened up a new refurbished Town Hall.
