Property Description
Hillside Cottage is a thoughtfully evolved family home dating back to the 1800s, carefully extended and reconfigured to maximise space and light. Tucked away in a private setting, it enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and uninterrupted countryside outlooks, delivering the perfect balance of character, comfort, and contemporary living.
Ground Floor
The ground floor unfolds with a natural and sociable flow, centred around a well-appointed kitchen, complemented by a practical utility room and WC. From here, the home opens into a generous dining room, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. A cosy snug with a feature fireplace provides a welcoming retreat, while a superb home bar area adds a unique and engaging social space. The main lounge is both stylish and inviting, complete with rich green feature walls and a striking wood-burning stove.
First Floor
Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with built-in wardrobes and a private shower room. Three further well-proportioned double bedrooms provide ample accommodation, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Unusually for a period home, the property feels bright and airy throughout, enhanced by numerous Velux windows that draw in natural light.
Outside
The outdoor space is equally impressive, with tiered decking spanning much of the rear, perfectly positioned to capture the surrounding views and sunshine. The garden also features a lawned area, wood store, and a dedicated home gym space. A large wooden shed to the side provides excellent storage and pedestrian access onto the lane. Enclosed by high fencing, the grounds offer a strong sense of privacy and security.
Location
Situated in the sought-after village of Lanner, the property enjoys a semi-rural lifestyle while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. The nearby towns of Redruth and Falmouth provide a wider range of shopping, dining, and transport links, while the surrounding countryside offers an abundance of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits. Well-regarded schools and community facilities further enhance the appeal of this desirable Cornish setting.
Heating Energy
The property benefits from a highly versatile and efficient multi-source heating system, including two wood-burning stoves (one with back boiler) feeding a 400L thermal store for hot water and central heating. This is supported by solar thermal and 4kW photovoltaic panels, with an LPG gas boiler providing reliable backup.
Agents Note
The property benefits from a legal right of way over the access lane. This right allows access at all times and for all purposes, with or without vehicles. Buyers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding any maintenance responsibilities or shared obligations associated with the lane.
