Toy Cottage is a picturesque and non-listed 'chocolate box' cottage which exudes charm and draws the attention of all those who visit the village. Interestingly the property was also the former residence of esteemed writer Sir Compton Mackenzie.
Downstairs, the spacious 21' x 10'8 main living room with period features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and window seats, creates a wonderful space to relax. Leading off from this area is the very cute farmhouse style kitchen - located in the centre of the house. Adjacent to the kitchen is a beautiful 20'9 x 9'3 garden room extension; providing an extremely useful additional reception room which flooded in natural light and providing access to the rear courtyard and garden with French doors.
Upstairs the two bedrooms exude country charm with fitted wardrobes in both helping to maximise the space.
Outside and adjacent to the garden room there is a small courtyard garden and to the rear of this is a further lawned garden area which provides a very private space to relax. Toy Cottage also benefits from a very useful detached annexe which is currently utilised as an additional bedroom with en suite and office / utility room, but could be converted to a self sufficient unit - subject to the relevant permissions. There is also a very generous 22'2 x 16'1 double garage along with ample off road parking.
Location - Toy Cottage is set in the charming village of Gunwalloe - only a short walk away from the beach which stretches all the way across to Porthleven. The esteemed Halzephron Inn sits within the village and is only a 5 minute walk from the property.
The wider Lizard Peninsula is a fabulous unspoilt area of Cornwall - home to Britain's most southerly point, as well as many fabulous beaches and the nearby Helford River for those interested in sailing, and a passenger ferry to Helford Passage and the beautiful gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan. Coverack is just over 10 miles away with its charming harbour and the village of Cadgwith that is still a working fishing community. The harbour town Porthleven is accessible via the SW Coast Path and is an excellent location to grab some fine foods and enjoy a drink. Nearby Helston is a short drive away and provides numerous amenities with numerous supermarkets and a host of pubs and places to eat.
