Description:

PAIR OF COTTAGES
FOR IMPROVEMENT AND POSSIBLE REINSTATEMENT
TO ONE FAMILY SIZE HOME
An imposing property set in an attractive position away from the main road and with farmland to the rear. Divided into two independent cottages and easily reinstated to one larger dwelling.

This interesting old property originally housed employees of the nearby Perran Foundry and has been in the same family ownership for three generations and at least 100 years. Built to a traditional style the house has a lovely symmetrical facade with a cut stone finish including granite quoins and window arches and Georgian Style sash windows. It naturally appears as one house but it is in fact two independent dwellings having been divided over 70 years ago. It is now an exciting opportunity for someone to amalgamate the properties and create a distintive family size home with period elegance as well as modern comforts. The house is Grade II Listed.

Perranarworthal lies at the head of Devoran Creek in a wooded valley almost midway between Truro and Falmouth. It merges with Perranwell and not surprisingly it is a much sought after residential area. There is a parish Church and pub (Norway Inn) in the near vicinity, whilst at Perranwell there is another pub, post office/store and a primary school. The village is easily accessible to the creeks of the Fal Estuary and there are deep water moorings at nearby Mylor and Restronguet. The city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about 7 miles away.

It is thought the house dates from the early 1800's and it is largely of stone construction under a slate and cement fibre roof but with more recent additions to the rear in concrete block and flat felted roofs. Both cottages have been tenanted for a long period of time and whilst basically modernised the property now offers scope for further renovation and probable reinstatement to one dwelling. Remaining features include some window shutters, period coving, original panelled doors and an attractive turning stairway. The larger cottage has gas fired central heating.
