Description - Willow Cottage is a beautifully renovated detached family home, occupying a generous plot in the highly sought after Kenwyn area and enjoying a unique setting surrounded by open countryside. This attractive double-fronted cottage offers three to four bedrooms and has been thoughtfully transformed by the current owners, seamlessly blending contemporary style with the timeless character and charm expected of a home of this era.
Every detail has been carefully considered during the extensive renovation, with the interior benefitting from comprehensive replastering to create a crisp, elegant finish throughout. The stylish kitchen has been designed with modern family living in mind, while the bathroom features sleek white sanitaryware and quality contemporary fittings, resulting in a home that is both beautifully presented and ready to move straight into.
One of the properties most outstanding features is its enviable position. To the front, the property enjoys far reaching views across rolling Cornish countryside, while to the rear it backs directly onto open grazing fields, providing a wonderfully private and uninterrupted outlook. The expansive mature gardens offer a peaceful haven for families, entertaining and gardening alike, creating an idyllic outdoor space to enjoy throughout the seasons.
Despite its setting with no immediate neighbours, Willow Cottage remains remarkably convenient, with the amenities of the nearby village just a short walk away, offering the perfect balance of rural seclusion and everyday accessibility.
Outside - The property is set within generous, mature gardens arranged on either side, with expansive lawns interspersed by established trees, creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. A generous driveway provides ample parking and turning for several vehicles, while to the rear a delightful courtyard garden offers a sheltered, sun-soaked retreat, perfect for outdoor entertaining, alfresco dining or simply unwinding.
The grounds provide excellent space for children to play, keen gardeners to enjoy, or those seeking the opportunity to further enhance the landscape. In addition, a static caravan is situated within the grounds and is available to be included within the sale or it can be removed if not required.
Location - Positioned on a semi-rural lane just two miles from the heart of Truro, Willow Cottage enjoys an elevated setting at the top of Kenwyn Hill, offering the perfect balance of countryside tranquillity and city convenience.
