  • 2 receptions and 2 double bedrooms

  • Vacant possession so no chain!
A charming detached cottage which has been sensitively refurbished, providing two bedroom and two reception room accommodation together with delightful gardens.

The Property
This wonderful stone built detached cottage is rumoured to once have been two, but today is presented as one bright and comfortable home. In recent years it has been refurbished, carefully enhancing the character of the cottage but at the same time combining it with modern amenities that include double glazed windows, gas heating and re-fitted kitchen and bathroom.

At ground floor one enters into the living room, the focal point of which is an Inglenook fireplace with a heavy granite lintel, bread oven and fitted wood burner. Leading off the lounge is a generous dining room with former fireplace, and to the rear, a very smartly fitted kitchen/breakfast room. The ground floor bathroom and wc has a shower over the bath whilst upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a further separate wc.

The cottage enjoys well tended and sunny gardens, extending mainly to the front, where there is a gravelled sitting out area for enjoying alfresco dining in the sunshine and which in turn connects with a double parking bay. To the rear there is an enclosed garden, safe for children and pets and to the corner of which is a very useful stone built store.

Location
Lower Downgate is a small hamlet 3 miles to the north of Callington. This central and accessible but quiet location is about 1 ½ miles from the village of Stoke Climsland where there is a Parish church, social club, primary school, community centre, village hall and shop. It is an area popular for those who enjoy walking and other rural pursuits. Callington itself is a busy town providing a range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. 8 miles to the north of Lower Downgate is the ancient town of Launceston, situated on the A30, whilst Saltash and Plymouth are 14 miles to the south.
