THE PROPERTY
This outstanding home lies at the end of a short close within Cogos Park, where, from a cursory view, one has little idea of what is on offer and how special number 39 is. Mr Libby was the original landowner here, who chose the site of number 39 to have his own home built, within the development that would become Cogos Park. Notable Truro Architect Mr Alec Wells, who worked for John Crowther before taking over the Cornelius practice in 1964, was appointed and it was built in 1979. The property lies on the edge of the village, where over the years it has been expanded and improved. It is a house of character and individuality, set within a level, southwest facing landscaped plot and garden. Here, there is a feeling of peace and privacy where one abuts a field with views of rolling countryside and woods. The garden is richly stocked and flows effortlessly from in and outside via multi-folding doors, from the living room and master bedroom. The current owners are artistic and professionally creative in working life and have expanded and ‘fine-tuned’ the property and left a very positive impression, both inside and outside. Much of the accommodation lies ‘bungalow-like’ on one level, where the inspired 2022/23 extension has created a fantastic open plan living, dining room and kitchen with vaulted and apex ceilings. There are four bedrooms in all: three on the ground floor; the main with en-suite and folding door access onto the terrace and garden. The hallway is a particular feature with its twice-turning staircase and lightness flooding up and downstairs through its huge two-storey stairwell window. Upstairs is a wonderful, versatile space, making a great apex ceiling studio, a living room or office, galleried to the reception room downstairs or equally suited to enclose as another bedroom, perhaps. The fourth bedroom has a balcony, perfectly positioned overlooking the garden, field and rolling countryside. In contrast to the delightful more conventional front garden, the rear ‘Mediterranean’ garden has been hard and soft landscaped to create a space in which to relax, entertain and enjoy. To the side is a driveway to park 3 cars, leading to a garage and workshop.
THE LOCATION
Cogos Park lies on the edge of Mylor Bridge with number 39 occupying a prime spot, chosen by the original landowner to build his family home. The property lies at the end of a short close adjacent to fields and rolling countryside and where deer are often seen. The village centre is a few minutes’ walk away and the Creek can be reached in 10 minutes on foot. Mylor has an active, friendly community and excellent facilities that include the Lemon Arms Pub, the well stocked Mylor store, a highly regarded primary school, pre-school and playgroups. Great to have a new coffee shop and deli, - Isobel’s, in the village. Those in the know make their weekly pilgrimage to The Food Barn at Tregew less than a mile away; it’s a Saturday produce market, where over 20 stalls come together to offer scrumptious, sustainable produce that is high in quality and encourages a supportive environment. There are Doctor and Dentist surgeries, a Post Office and Newsagent, Hairdressers, award-winning Butcher's shop plus a Fishmonger. The Village Hall has an extensive programme that includes exhibitions, a history group, keep-fit classes and monthly cinema showings. There are also several local clubs, tennis courts, a bowling green, playing fields, plus a regular bus service running to Falmouth and Truro. Small wonder that the Sunday Times has named Mylor Bridge as 'One of the Best Places to Live' and that it is one of the most desirable villages around. The village is located approximately 4 miles from the harbour town of Falmouth and 8 miles from the Cathedral City of Truro, both of which have good schools, excellent shops, business and recreational facilities. Mylor Creek is a tributary of the River Fal, leading into the Carrick Roads with access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country. There are a number of yacht clubs nearby including those at Restronguet, Mylor, Flushing and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour, just a short distance away, has remarkable facilities including a Marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers, marine services and restaurants.
