A charming character cottage in an off-road location, situated within an increasingly popular village.

The Property
This appealing period home is tucked away in a quiet off-road setting, and has been newly redecorated and carpeted. It comprises a good size kitchen/diner and lounge with open fire at ground floor, with two bedrooms and bathroom at first floor.

The windows and doors have been replaced with uPVC double glazing and the cottage is warmed by electric radiators.

The gardens are a particular feature of this comfortable home, and to the front are long and sheltered with a sunny aspect. There is a further garden and courtyard to the rear, where there is also a disused outside wc. Whilst there is no parking with the property itself, there is unrestricted, on road parking nearby.

Situation
Merritts Hill is situated within the highly regarded village of Illogan where local amenities include two convenience stores, a Boots chemist, doctors surgery, public house and primary school. The village is well placed for quick and easy access to the coast and beach at Portreath 2 miles to one side, and Redruth 3 miles to the other side, where a wide and varied range of schooling, shopping, health and leisure amenities are available. For those travelling further afield, there is a stop on the main Paddington to Penzance railway line in Redruth whilst closer to hand is the main spinal route for Cornwall, the A30 putting Truro within a half hour commute.
