Tucked away cottage for sale in an idyllic location in Skinners Bottom in need of a face lift

This detached cottage has been extended over the years but is now in need of considerable repair and refurbishment. As it is, and once improved, it could become a comfortable home, but others can see the potential for complete remodeling or even replacement. The cottage has oil heating, a bathroom with shower and WC and a kitchen, and until very recently the property was inhabited.

It is located on level land that extends to approx. 0.16 acres at the end of a narrow lane that would not be suitable for anything larger than, say, a transit van. The property backs onto fields to the front and rear, and in the overgrown gardens, there are various dilapidated sheds and a large amount of rubbish, including two vehicles, all of which remain in place.

This idyllic setting, bordering farmland with open views, is tucked away in a quiet and private location at the end of a no-through road. This traffic free location feels secluded and yet not isolated as it is only a mile and a half from the A30 at Scorrier. The main town of Redruth is three miles away where there is a range of schools, shops, health and leisure facilities.

The property is for sale by public auction closing on Friday 28th June at noon, unless previously sold. With a guide price of £185,000, contact Lodge & Thomas on 01872 272722 for more information.
