General Remarks And Location - Little Carsawsen has been owned/occupied by the same family for over 100 years, hence its availability to the market is a unique occasion. In many respects it is a typical 2 bedroom Cornish cottage with a range of single storey outbuildings but its warm, south-facing position on the rural edge of Mylor Bridge is very appealing. The property adjoins the minor road leading from Carclew to Mylor Bridge but the cottage and old farm buildings are secluded in almost two and a half acres of mature gardens and paddocks and enjoy a high level of privacy and detachment from neighbours. It is acknowledged that the property is in need of refurbishment but there is huge potential to create a fabulous home in a highly-regarded residential locality where opportunities of this nature are at a premium.

Mylor Bridge is a particularly sought after village not least for its position at the head of the tidal creek which extends up into the centre of the village and is surrounded by picturesque wooded countryside. The village has a good selection of amenities for everyday needs including post office and shop, primary school, church, fish mongers, dentist, doctors and butcher as well as a village hall with the usual programme of social activities. There is a passenger ferry to Falmouth from nearby Flushing. The cathedral and shopping centre of Truro is about nine miles away. The port and tourist destination of Falmouth is about 5 miles.

The Cottage - The cottage is modest in size but for passers-by it has become somewhat iconic being unchanged for decades and with its traditional conservatory stretching along the entire frontage of the building. It is largely stone built but with a more recent extension in rendered block to one side incorporating more modern facilities. It is obvious that the dwelling warrants refurbishment but there is enormous scope to extend, remodel or possibly replace the structure, subject to any necessary consent.

The Outbuildings - These previously served the workings of a smallholding and being a mixture of traditional stone and concrete block construction.

They comprise: FORMER GARAGE and WORKSHOP with twin sets of double doors, with small FUEL STORE and COAL HOUSE adjacent. FORMER COWSHOUSE to tie a 4, two-stall PIGGERY and also the remains of some further buildings.

The Gardens And Grounds - These extend to 2.37 acres in total surrounding the cottage and buildings and a perfect complement. High hedges and trees provide shelter and privacy and a warm mature ambience. A pedestrian gate leads into the front garden from the road and feature areas of lawn with established shrubs, perennials and roses as well as a splendid monkey puzzle tree. From here, there is access through to a separate grassed enclosure and this in turn leads to a former vegetable garden and orchard with two mature fruit trees and an overgrown area with an old garden shed. Beyond this area there is a much larger paddock (also overgrown) whilst on the other side of the entrance driveway there is a small paddock dominated by a mature Ash tree and ornamental Myrtle.
