PROPERTY
Rarely does a property in such serene, yet convenient surroundings come to the market. Located on the edge of Idless Woods which is just a short distance from Truro.

The home has a large outbuilding which in the past has been used as a cafe for visitors to the woods. This could be re-opened offering a 'work from home' business opportunity or rented out. Alternatively the large barn would make an ideal workshop having lighting, power, water and drainage.

The cottage and garden sit above and are bordered by the River Allen. A small stream which is a pretty feature of the property.

Additionally, the property also owns a paddock of approximately 1/4 acre set a short distance from the house at the top of the lane. This is a useful space either as an additional garden or potentially as a space for a summer house, yurts, camping or possibly a small holding.

The house itself has a good sized driveway with ample parking.

The kitchen has a range of shaker style cabinets housing a Belfast sink, inset oven with a gas hob above, and space for a dishwasher and undercounter fridge.

To the opposite side of the home is a good sized sitting room with a wood burner. A door leads out to the garden from here.

Between the kitchen and sitting room is a good sized cloak room which does double duty as a utility room.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a good sized family bathroom which has a corner bath and separate walk in shower.

Outside a recently constructed deck provides an al-fresco dining area and is south west facing to catch all of the afternoon and evening sun. The lawned garden slopes down to the river.

The main outbuilding currently has A3 usage and has been run as a successful café business used by the visitors of Idless Woods, this could continue or potenitally rented to generate an income. It could of course be converted back to an outbuilding or turned into a garage/car port.
PLEASE NOTE: The use of the café by a new owner would require the grant of a licence by Forestry England. They have indicated that this would be in the region of £500 plus VAT for the first year.

The property is fantastically positioned and offers the potential of its own business. For families it has the enviable benefit of having over 250 acres of woodland in its back garden to enjoy. A viewing is highly recommended.

SURROUNDING AREA
The property is situated in a lovely sought after rural location, just 2½ miles from the centre of Truro, in a delightful wooded valley through which the River Allen flows. The hamlet of Idless is a small pretty collection of predominantly cottage style properties and is a very popular location due to its attractive unspoilt surroundings and convenience to the City centre.
