Property description

This charming and beautifully presented, grade II listed 2/3 bedroom house is situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Mithian, in a delightful sunny position. The property has been elegantly updated and extended in recent years and is now a fine example of a period property complemented by spacious accommodation and plenty of character in a desirable location with the potential for further development of the outbuilding.

The ground floor accommodation has a modern yet “cosy” family friendly layout, with useful rear porch with access to a shower room and the large cottage style kitchen diner with Aga and space for family dining table. From here double doors open into a delightful spacious living room with large focal point stone fireplace with a multi fuel burner and sash window and window seat. The first floor boasts 2 spacious double bedrooms, a nursery, feature study area on the landing and the main family bathroom.

Outside there is off road parking for 2 vehicles, a lovely “suntrap” courtyard style garden with patio seating area and raised flowerbed. A gravelled pathway leads to an extremely useful block built building which is currently used as storage but with some imagination would make an excellent en-suite bedroom for guests or even a small letting unit/annexe. And finally there is an attractive second allotment style garden which offers a small taste of the “good life”.

A great deal of care and attention was taken during the renovations to respect and restore as much of the building’s original character whilst bringing the property into the 21st century. This much-loved semi-detached property now features slate floors in the kitchen, porch and shower room, a mixture of sash and solid wood windows, pine internal doors to the bedrooms and “ledged and braced” doors to the storage areas. The kitchen and porch both have Belfast style sinks and wooden worktops and there are high ceilings throughout both floors with potential to extend the accommodation into the loft (subject to necessary consents)

These renovations and improvements have created a stunning, practical home that is well worth viewing!
