GENERAL COMMENTS
Whispers is a large detached dormer style bungalow located within the sought after village of Ladock and within close proximity of the church and primary school and within walking distance of the Falmouth Arms pub. The whole property is incredibly private and the plot extends to about half an acre and includes a fabulous garden with the house at the centre and approached over a long driveway. Whispers has been in the same ownership for approximately fifteen years and has been greatly improved during this time and is beautifully presented. The accommodation includes: entrance porch, large kitchen/dining room, spacious sitting room, ground floor shower room and three bedrooms (two on the first floor and the master downstairs). All of the bedrooms have en suite shower rooms.
Whispers is located at the end of a very long private driveway with lots of parking. The gardens are a real feature of the property and well stocked with many specimen trees and shrubs. They are extensive and extremely private. The double garage is currently being used as a home office and could easily be converted into an annexe for a dependent relative subject to consent. The whole property enjoys complete privacy from neighbouring properties. At the top of the driveway is a double carport and there are extensive workshops and sheds. The house has double glazed windows, oil fired central heating, private drainage and is being sold with no onward chain.
