General Comments - The location of Salem Cottage is very pleasant. Tucked away at the end of an unmade lane, the whole property enjoys complete privacy and a peaceful environment. The cottage enjoys a sunny aspect with gardens and grounds that extend to approximately half an acre.
The cottage is in need of complete refurbishment but offers huge potential and there is scope to extend the property if required (subject to necessary consent). The current owners have started the renovations including the addition of modern night storage heaters in the reception rooms and bedrooms, addition of modern double glazing and some re-plastering. The kitchen and bathrooms need replacing.
The large rear gardens are mainly lawn, enclosed within natural hedge boundaries and enjoys complete privacy. A driveway provides plenty of parking and there are two substantial outbuildings including an open fronted shed and block built building. The village is within close proximity as is the A30 for quick commuting throughout the county.

Location - Chacewater is a sought after village which is located within five miles of Truro. It benefits from a village shop, public house, bakers, doctors' surgery and primary school. Chacewater has a great sense of community with many village organisations and activities which are held throughout the year. Further amenities can be found in Truro which is renowned for its excellent shopping centre, fine selection of restaurants, bars, private and state schools and main line railway link to London (Paddington). The Hall for Cornwall is also a popular venue providing all year round entertainment and other cultural facilities include the Royal Cornwall Museum and the historic Cathedral. The villages surrounding Chacewater owe their history to Cornwall's important and prosperous mining heritage and the fine Georgian houses in the area reflect this. Built for the engineers and industrialists who pioneered the industrial revolution and the mining of tin and other valuable commodities of the time.
