Purchased by our clients as a part-finished project approximately 30 years ago and now to be sold for the first time since conversion, a detached, individual, 2-storey house, of part stone construction, occupying a slightly elevated plot on a popular, quiet road, with the village's excellent day-to-day amenities all within easy walking distance. The property provides 3 bedroom, 2 bath/shower room accommodation with oil fired central heating and sealed unit double glazing. Views are enjoyed over the outskirts of the village to surrounding countryside, there is an attractive well stocked front garden with various terraces, and off-road parking for 2 vehicles is provided in addition to a detached garage/workshop. For sale with the additional benefit of immediate vacant possession and no onward chain.
THE PROPERTY
Purchased by our clients as a part-finished project, completed by them to accommodate a relative and, more latterly, used for rental purposes, 'The Coach House' is an intriguing and highly individual home which, we understand, was originally designed to provide reverse-level accommodation, with the upstairs rooms, particularly from a balcony, enjoying elevated views over the outskirts of the village to miles of surrounding countryside.
The layout now provides two main bedrooms to the first floor, one of which opens onto the sunny, south west facing balcony. Upstairs, there is a shower room/WC with, at the foot of a turning staircase, a ground floor family bathroom/WC with sunken bath. Double doors open from the front gardens into an entrance lobby, a central living area is currently used as a living room, adjacent to which a third bedroom could be incorporated, if preferred, subject to any necessary consents. The kitchen/breakfast room is double aspect, to the rear of which there is a useful utility/boiler room with courtesy door to a side storage area. The front gardens are terraced and are well stocked, but would now benefit from a little green-fingered attention. Ample parking is provided with easy access off Bowling Green, in addition to which there is a deep garage and workshop of block construction under a pitched roof.
THE LOCATION
'The Coach House' is situated a 'stones throw' from Constantine's picturesque churchyard, with an easy walk leading to the village's two convenience stores, public house, social club, junior school, bus service and active community hall - The Tolmen Centre. A walk along the Bowling Green leads to the doctors surgery and onto open countryside with picturesque footpaths leading to Polwheveral Creek, the Helford River and woodland walks surrounding the village. Boating and laying-up facilities etc are available at nearby Gweek Boatyard and the neighbouring towns of Falmouth and Helston are approximately seven and six miles distant respectively.
