Description:

CHARACTER COTTAGE
An appealing south facing cottage (end-of-three) in a favoured village location and with private garden and garage.
Basically modernised and now in need of improvement.

This very attractive cottage was once part of an old coaching inn and whilst obviously of significant age it is notable for its mellow stone front elevation which features granite quoins, window reveals and traditional sash windows. Inside there are beamed ceilings, an inglenook in the main reception, window seats and some working shutters and a splendid granite flagged entrance hallway. Shell Cottage is particularly appealing in that it has a good size enclosed garden and also a garage just a short distance away. It has been a cherished home for many years and whilst basically modernised it now warrants further improvement and upgrading.

The village of Grampound lies on the A390 between Truro and St. Austell and offers a variety of local facilities for daily needs including post office, church, primary school, pub and restaurants. The village has the benefit of a regular bus service and is also close to the picturesque attractions of the Roseland Peninsula and the south Cornish Coast. The city of Truro with its fine Cathedral, major shopping centre and main line railway link to London (Paddington) is about nine miles. St. Austell is about six miles.
