Stithians, Truro, TR3

THE PROPERTY

This delightful detached country cottage with its lovely garden is an uplifting place to be. Rarely do we view and sell homes in such unspoilt settings where peacefulness and nature is so predominate. Lanjouick lies within a wonderfully established garden approximately 0.4 acres in size, surrounded by fields and rolling countryside but with shelter from old Cornish hedges and fine trees and shrubs. Access is tight and we would expect the new owners to widen the driveway (do please watch our video tour to understand more). Nicely proportioned, with a wealth of character and charm. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a versatile room with separate stairs up to a vaulted ceiling studio / fourth bedroom. Downstairs is a 19'0'' x 11'2'' sitting room and a separate dining room and a family kitchen / living room likely to become the social hub of the home with its relaxed feel and access into the garden. All is practical too, with a utility and cloakroom downstairs, a double garage and parking space. Lanjouick is an absolute gem in a glorious rural spot yet so close to amenities and convenient to local towns.

THE LOCATION

Lanjouick lies in an outstanding and unspoilt situation surrounded by countryside yet just one mile from Stithians village. Stithians is a popular village, set in the Cornish countryside. The village has an excellent sense of community with inhabitants of all ages and facilities to cater for most every day needs. Stithians has a regarded primary school, two Churches, pub and a Spar shop with Post Office as well as a Doctor's surgery and petrol station. There is a café, fish and chip shop and a hairdresser, together with village hall with preschool and a library. Clubs and societies abound including rugby, cricket and football, whilst the glorious surroundings at nearby Stithians lake offer water sports and fly fishing. Stithians is central and convenient allowing ease of access to local towns such as Falmouth, Helston, Camborne and Redruth, together with Truro Cathedral City. Lanjouick is idyllically set well away from main roads, up a lovely old lane (this is a very narrow lane and may need to be widened), with glorious rural views, countryside all around and cattle and wildlife as its neighbours.
