GENERAL COMMENTS
Ocean view is an extremely versatile property located in a rural position between the villages of Mitchell and Ladock and within easy reach of Truro, Newquay, the north Cornish coast and theA30 for quick commuting. The property enjoys fabulous far reaching views over the surrounding countryside with a good sea view in the distance from the first floor - hence the house name "Ocean View". It is extremely private with no near neighbours and enjoys a peaceful setting and a very sunny aspect. The vendor has made environmental improvements that include a biomass boiler for heating and hot water and photovoltaic panels which reduce electricity bills and both generate income from the feed in tariff and domestic renewable heat incentive (RHI).
