Simply stunning three-bedroom cottage full of character yet spacious and comfortable. So surprising once through the front door, beamed ceilings that have hundreds of years of patina and are amazingly seven and a half feet high! Add to this the exposed stone walls and large wood burner centrally located in the room means there is such a comfortable homely feel about the cottage. Three good sized bedrooms, bohemian style kitchen and gas central heating plus a private and secure rear garden. A lovely property and internal viewing highly recommended!
THE LOCATION Bohill is an interesting and historic part of this ancient market town in which there is an active community and good everyday facilities including nursery, primary and secondary schools. The town enjoys good communication with Falmouth via its bus service and train station, which links to Truro city and mainline Paddington. Penryn is enjoying something of a renaissance being the home of the University of Cornwall which incorporates Dartington College and also of the regeneration and development of Penryn's inner Harbour and Harbour village, beside Bohill. Penryn College is a huge asset to the town, with its excellent reputation and strong facilities. Falmouth town (approximately 2 miles) provides comprehensive shopping, schooling, business and leisure facilities.
Bohill is just a few moments from the town and near the riverside and the site of the former 13th century Glasney College.
THE PROPERTY This listed cottage was likely one large house with the adjoining cottage at number 32. Although the exact date of construction is unknown it is probably a couple of hundred years in age and built from stone with 2ft+ thick walls, sash windows, beams and exposed walls and floorboards. So pretty and anyone looking to buy a cottage in or near the town will be bowled over by this great example. The three bedrooms are all of a good size which again is rare in a cottage but there is so much to boast about with this property. Gas central heating. Secure garden.
