General Comments - 2 Riverside Cottage is a spacious semi-detached property located in a delightful rural setting within the sought after village of Cusgarne. The cottage is undoubtedly several hundred years old although it has been extended from its original form. It is a wonderful home occupying a sheltered south facing position with a lovely outlook over the delightful gardens. It is in excellent condition throughout with high ceilings and large windows that afford plenty of natural light. The accommodation includes three double bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor with a large kitchen/dining/living room, sitting room, utility, cloakroom and walk-in larder downstairs. The property is large enough for those with a growing family but is also ideal for a couple looking for comfortable home with large and mature gardens in a superb setting. The photovoltaic solar panels provide an income and reduce electricity costs.

The Cottage is approached from a minor country lane through a five bar timber gate. The driveway provides parking for several cars and gives access to the outbuildings currently split into three sections with the garage, studio and store. There is huge potential to convert the outbuildings into a home office, gym or even a holiday cottage subject to necessary consent. The gardens are a sheer joy and must be viewed to be appreciated. There is an orchard, vegetable plots, large greenhouse as well as areas of lawn with a summer house and patio area immediately surrounding the property. Gardens lead down to the stream which runs along the bottom of the garden and forms part of the Carnon river which ultimately leads to the Carrick Roads. The gardens are extensive and in all measure just under one acre.

Location - Cusgarne is a thriving community with an excellent primary school and with the neighbouring village of Frogpool which has a public house and the village hall. Approximately six miles to the north east lies the city of Truro which has a much wider range of facilities including banks, building societies, shops, schools, public houses and the main line railway link to London Paddington. Falmouth and the Carrick Roads are approximately six miles south west of Cusgarne and offer fantastic facilities for sailing enthusiasts with the creeks of the River Fal and Mylor Yacht Harbour which provides deep water moorings.
