Lostwithiel is a popular Mid-Cornwall town which is steeped in history and renowned for its vibrant community. The town offers a good range of amenities which includes a variety of shops, restaurants, public houses, professional services, dentist and health centre. There is a mainline train station on the Penzance to London line and a choice of two Primary schools, one of which is just a very short walk from the property. Secondary schools are available at nearby Fowey (7 miles) and Bodmin (5 miles) respectively. A purpose-built community centre offers recreational/sporting facilities and is located next to the King George V playing field.
Brief Description
'Hideaway Cottage' is a traditional stone built character property (Circa 1850), which has been sympathetically restored and extended by the current vendors. Refurbishment centred around taking the cottage back to its original structure and incorporating lime plaster, re-pointing, local slate and French oak. In 2015 work was completed on an impressive loft conversion to create an additional bedroom, which also involved raising the ridge line of the roof. A few years later the property has benefitted from a single storey extension to the rear, creating a superb dining room, utility area and shower room. The extension features a durable rubber flat roof with a large skylight. The cottage boasts a number of handmade features including the kitchen, pantry cupboard, fitted storage, oak staircase, sapele windows/doors and all internal joinery. The downstairs has slate flooring throughout and engineered oak on the upper two floors.
