DESCRIPTION Piran Cot is exactly what one would imagine when considering a picturesque dressed stone fronted village house and it lies at the heart of one of Cornwall s most prized villages between Truro and Falmouth. This semi-detached house has the use of both of the first floor windows at the front providing light to two of the three bedrooms with the other being to the rear and
3 taking in an idyllic outlook over the property s long lawned and well stocked garden to trees beyond. The house is deeper than one may expect with side windows providing additional light to one of the first floor bedrooms and also to the ground floor dining room. To the front is a sitting room which has been opened up to the reception hall to make a much larger semi open-plan space with the dining room then being between this and the kitchen at the rear. On the other side of an inner hall is a bathroom, separate wc and at the rear is a modern double glazed porch. In general the house appears to be in good order and has been lived in until very recently but is now offered without any chain and would be ideal for those looking to update and place their own stamp upon a property. It is very rare to find such a charming home in an ideal position to walk to all of the facilities of Perranwell Station and we would unhesitatingly recommend viewing immediately.
