The cottage is in a need of renovation but has had substantial improvement in recent years including some new replacement double glazing, modern electric heaters, insulation and the first floor has been newly plastered. The EPC rating is C which is surprisingly high for a period stone cottage. There is huge scope to extend the cottage if required subject to planning consent. Please note that the current septic tank is located outside of the boundary of the property. It is a condition of sale that the purchaser installs a new private drainage system within the boundaries of Hendra Farm. The cost of this has already been reflected in the marketing price.

There are a range of farm buildings including attractive single storey stone outbuildings and a large pole barn. The property is being sold with no chain and an internal viewing is recommended.

LOCATION

Hendra Farm is located on the outskirts of Roche. Roche, known in Cornish as 'Tregarrek', means homestead of the rock. The village takes its name from a granite outcrop east of the village and Roche is the Norman-French word for Rock. On top of Roche Rock is a ruined chapel (dedicated to St Michael) which is said to have been the abode of a leper or a monk. Roche has been a village of some prominence being sited close to (but suitably away from) the industrialised china clay areas of Cornwall. Today it is a thriving community with a range of facilities for everyday needs including pub, church, shop/post office and primary school. The village is particularly convenient for access to the A30 and therefore easily accessible to all parts of the county.
