The cottage is beautifully presented and has been transformed during our clients seven year ownership. Improvements include a new roof, replacement kitchen and bathrooms, new electric heating, replacement windows, "Fired Earth" tiled floors and reconfiguration of the accommodation. It is currently a successful holiday let but will make a lovely home in a popular location just a short stroll from the creek, public quay and slipway. The cottage still retains many character features with creek views from many of the rooms and garden. A sun room with utility runs the full length of the rear and there is even a view up the creek towards Devoran from the back bedroom. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, superb fitted kitchen with integral appliances and granite worktops, sitting room with woodburner, dining room, modern shower room, rear sun room/utility and cloakroom. The cottage benefits from private parking as well as a single garage. The gardens of Hillside are delightful and are a feature of the property.

For those wanting a larger property it would be very easy to extend Hillside above the single storey section to provide additional bedrooms and bathroom subject to gaining the necessary consent. It is being sold with no onward chain.

LOCATION

Restronguet Creek is very popular with boating enthusiasts and provides easy access to the sailing waters of the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads). A public slipway is within a short walk of the cottage, local facilities are available in Carnon Downs (about one and a half miles) whilst the Cathedral city of Truro provides an excellent shopping centre and includes a main line railway station to London (Paddington) and a good selection of restaurants and bars. The Hall for Cornwall provides year round entertainment and there are golf courses at nearby Killiow and Truro. The historic port of Falmouth is about eight miles away. Point is also at one end of the Bissoe cycle trail which runs along the creek to Devoran through Bissoe and eventually leads to the north Cornish coast at Portreath.
