Positioned within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and overlooking picturesque farmland, Holly Cottage is approached via roads that tunnel through the surrounding woodland, ablaze with bluebells during early summer and ever-changing through the year. Located within a plot of over one acre, the cottage provides an increasingly rare opportunity to renovate and redevelop an unspoilt rural property with fantastic access to both Truro and Falmouth.

PROPERTY
At the core of the property is a traditional 2 bedroom, 2 reception room cottage, benefitting from all the character features one would expect, such as fireplaces, sash windows and a pretty timber porch entrance. Over time Holly Cottage has been extended to include a double storey
extension that provides a large living room and a third, principal bedroom, as well as lean-to extensions to the rear and side that house the kitchen and bathroom. Centrally positioned within the plot and with clear opportunity to renovate, extend and remodel, subject to obtaining the
necessary consents, the plot extends to 1.08 acres. Consisting of a variety of garden areas immediately surrounding the property, including a wooded area and a courtyard of small outbuildings which could be used for agricultural, horticultural or personal uses, a 0.58 acre paddock encircled by mature trees is located to the rear of the cottage, accessed by a separate track and served by a further garage.

LOCATION
Holly Cottage is located on the periphery of the historic Enys Estate, one of the oldest in Cornwall, which along with other landed estates such as the former Carclew Estate, have ensured that the Mylor peninsula has retained a special atmosphere created by the large areas of woodland and well maintained and laid out farmland. Enjoying a quiet rural setting, the area also benefits from very easy access to the harbour towns of Falmouth and Penryn, the University of Exeter campus at Penryn, as well as the city of Truro. As such, the property benefits from proximity to a full array of professional services, administrative, retailand employment opportunities as well as private and state schooling for all ages and extensive leisure and
watersport activities.

The nearby village of Mylor Bridge, positioned at the head of Mylor Creek, is renowned for its strong community and wide range of services including Post Office, village store, butcher, fishmonger, public house, church, primary school
and array of community buildings and facilities. The creek runs out into the Fal Estuary past Mylor Churchtown, home to Mylor Harbour with its extensive range of mooring, berthing and maintenance facilities, public slipway, sailing clubs, café and restaurants.
