Main Description
Situated in a very pleasant rural location having most adaptable accommodation, this property really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The house itself offers three reception rooms, a study, a kitchen and a utility to the ground floor. To the first floor the master bedroom has an en-suite, there is a family bathroom and three further bedrooms. It has double glazing with the conservatory being under warranty and it was purchased in February 2018. Heating is via an oil fired system and there are also solar panels which are owned by the vendors. There is also a wood burning stove in the main lounge and included is a dual fuel electric and propane gas range cooker which has a double electric oven and grill together with a seven burner hob and a plate warmer. The house has character features in keeping with the style of the property and these are combined with modern facilities which even include an instant hot water tap system which gives boiling water, hot water and water for cold drinks. Externally there is beautiful extensive lawned garden/paddock with plenty of bushes and shrubbery and there is a large workshop.
The Hobbit is situated in the hamlet of Piece which has access to the large out of town multiples at Pool, Redruth town and a road through to Four Lanes, Helston and Falmouth. It is part of a world heritage site, including the well known listed Wheal Francis mine, famous in its time and now having a Grade II listing. For those who enjoy walks or cycling, the Great Flat Lode is very popular and gives varying countryside views. Should you wish to enjoy food or further refreshments, you are virtually opposite the well respected Countryman public house.
To summarise, this is a fine home, of great credit to the owners who have now found it too large for their needs and it would be ideal for passing onto a family or perhaps somebody wishing to maximise income with possible development, subject to planning.
