GENERAL COMMENTS

Sunset Cottage occupies a private setting on the rural outskirts of Illogan, this 3/4 bedroom detached cottage enjoys far-reaching views towards the north Cornish Coast. Accessed via its own private driveway, the property is set within beautifully landscaped, south-facing gardens and offers a versatile layout ideal for a range of potential buyers.

The grounds include a detached, double-length garage, generous parking, and two adjoining paddocks—each just under an acre—bringing the total plot to about 2.34 acres.

ACCOMMODATION

The ground floor offers a spacious, light-filled lounge with an open fireplace and pleasant views over the gardens, a well-appointed kitchen with outlooks to the paddocks and the driveway, and a separate dining room for more formal entertaining. A ground floor bedroom sits adjacent to a cloakroom—ideal for use by a dependent relative.

To one end of the original cottage, an extension incorporates a study or additional bedroom, bathroom, and utility room. This versatile area with its own access offers excellent potential for a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary consents.

Upstairs, the accommodation comprises two generously sized double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

This unique countryside home offers the opportunity of 'the good life', practical amenities, and adaptable living space—all within easy reach of Cornwall’s north coast.

LOCATION

The location provides excellent access to a wide array of local amenities including village shops, a supermarket, schools, the A30 link road, Portreath Beach and SW coast path, scenic countryside footpaths, and the popular Coast to Coast Trail. Redruth Station provides links to both London Paddington and the North of England.

Set well back from a quiet country lane, the property is approached via a long, private driveway. To the left of the drive lies the first paddock, a level and well-maintained 0.8-acre field, securely enclosed by traditional Cornish hedging and fencing, with gated access.

At the end of the driveway, adjacent to the house, is a spacious parking area with ample room for multiple vehicles. A detached, double-length garage provides additional secure parking or storage. From the parking area, a gate opens to the second paddock, while a paved pathway leads to the main entrance of the home. This path continues past the front door toward the side entrance via the utility room.

The second paddock extends to approximately 0.9 acres and is also well-kept and relatively level. A public footpath, providing direct access to the nearby hamlet of Bridge and the scenic Coast to Coast Trail, runs along the western boundary of the property but separated from the garden by hedge and fencing then closely skirting the edge of the second paddock before reaching a stile that continues onto neighbouring land.
