THE PROPERTY
South Cottage was likely built around 1840 and has a charming blend of originality, modern day comfort and style. All is beautifully presented with a quality of finish and fixture that sets it above the norm. The present owners have replaced, renewed and improved here, without expense spared, creating a home and garden they love. The Cottage has two ‘living rooms’ downstairs: a sociable, kitchen/dining room and a sitting room leading to the sun/garden room. The 20’ kitchen/dining room has four windows, a painted beamed ceiling, cream Shaker-style cupboards and solid bamboo worktops, together with a ‘Leisure Cookmaster’ stove and subtly exposed stonework. The sitting room is a delight with its inglenook fireplace, multi-fuel stove, painted beams and sliding door access, via the sunroom, on to the terrace and garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a generous size bath/shower room and some lovely garden and rolling countryside views. A mains gas boiler fuels radiator central heating and hot water supply, windows are UPVC double glazed in period style, and there is a utility with space for washing machine and tumble dryer. The garden here is a treat, measuring about 140’ deep and full of colour, interest and establishment. It is level, enclosed and screened with a productive allotment area as well as a South facing pondside patio beside the cottage. All is workmanlike and practical with a 21’ timber garage, driveway and parking space, two aluminium greenhouses, a shed and wood store, together with rain water fed water butts and area for compost. This is a best of both worlds, and a gem of a country cottage, away from hustle and bustle yet where so much is readily accessible - wholeheartedly recommended!
THE LOCATION
Aptly named South Cottage lies in unspoilt Cornish countryside at Pulla Cross, where conveniently, Falmouth harbour town is less than 7 miles away, Redruth 5 miles and Truro Cathedral City under 8 miles. At South Cottage, one can easily access the rugged North Cornish Coast whilst Devoran Creek on the South Coast, only 3.5 miles away, provides a wonderful opportunity to explore the waterways of the Fal estuary, bay and coast. Pulla Cross lies in the Parish of Gwennap from where several lovely villages and communities are a few minutes’ drive; Frogpool is the nearest, only half a mile away, with the local Cornish Arms Pub, and just beyond to Cusgarne, with a good Ofsted rated Primary School and the excellent Cusgarne Organic Farm Shop. Perranwell Station village is less than 2 miles and home to the Royal Oak Pub, a Primary School (Good Ofsted), and community store. The village lies close to the Coast to Coast mineral tramway cycle path (from Portreath to Devoran) and on the Falmouth to Truro railway, with a mainline link to London Paddington. There are some wonderful natural resources and places to enjoy within a 5-10 minute drive, such as Carn Marth standing 235m high with fantastic coast to coast views, amphitheatre and lake, noted as a wild swimming hotspot. Kennall Vale nature reserve at Ponsanooth is a local favourite; a beautiful woodland valley with a river tumbling through, together with granite ruins of the abandoned former 1800s gunpowder factory site. Stithians Lake is another gem, being the largest inland water in West Cornwall with something for everyone to enjoy: from fishing to footpaths, wildlife to watersports, cafe to camping, the lake is a hub of activity and a peaceful escape. South Cottage is just a 5 minute walk to the Richard Jory Playing Field with its great children’s play area as well a football pitch.
