GENERAL COMMENTS

Greystones is a detached character property which epitomises the essence of a charming Cornish cottage. Set in a secluded and beautiful position within the sought after village of Cusgarne, midway between Truro, Falmouth and Redruth, Greystones is a truly unique opportunity which will undoubtedly appeal to a buyer looking for something very special. The cottage is offered for sale with no chain and vacant possession. A real feature of Greystones is the River Carnon which flows through the gardens from East to West, with a wooden bridge providing access to the grounds on the southern boundary. The property has been extended since its original form which is notable for its stone frontage with red brick lintels over and around the windows.

THE PROPERTY

The property has been a cherished home for many years and although it has been loved, it is fair to say that it now requires general upgrading and modernisation offering a new owner the chance to make the cottage their own. The accommodation comprises; kitchen/breakfast room, lounge/dining room, utility/W.C. and conservatory. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is ample parking and a car port.

CUSGARNE

Cusgarne is a thriving community with an excellent primary school and a well known farm shop just along the road, the Cusgarne Organic farm. With the neighbouring village of Frogpool which has a public house and the village hall just a mile away. The Bissoe Trail goes from Devoran all the way to Portreath and is about 22 miles long (there and back). It follows the old mineral tramway, that used to transport copper and tin to the old port at Devoran. Approximately six miles to the north east lies the city of Truro which has a much wider range of facilities including banks, building societies, shops, schools, public houses and the main line railway link to London Paddington. Falmouth and the Carrick Roads are approximately six miles south west of Cusgarne and offer fantastic facilities for sailing enthusiasts with the creeks of the River Fal and Mylor Yacht Harbour which provides deep water moorings.
