A rare opportunity to purchase this delightful detached mellow stone property located in a rural position enjoying delightful views over the surrounding countryside.
'Tolcarnwartha Cottage' is believed to date from circa 1850 and boasts many characteristic features which you would expect to find from a property of this period.
Upon entering the property via the Gothic style front door, you step into a large open planned lounge/diner with two inglenook granite fireplaces along with three windows with shutters and window seats (to two) overlooking the pretty gardens.
From the lounge/diner access is gained to the kitchen and side entrance with its exposed stone walls. To the first floor is the main bedroom considered to be of a generous size with step down from the dressing area from where you can appreciate the excellent rural outlook as well as French doors leading out onto the balcony. The high ceiling, exposed roof timbers and 'Velux' windows give a great deal of natural light and there is access to the en-suite.
Throughout the accommodation benefits from majority double glazed windows complemented by an Air Source heat pump which is responsible for heating and domestic hot water.
Externally well tended gardens have various gravelled areas with low maintenance in mind plus a lawned garden immediately in front of the property. The gardens are well stocked with a good range of mature shrubs and borders whilst parking facilities are found to the front for two to three vehicles.
Porkellis a rural hamlet with the benefit of having its own Public House and a variety of pleasant countryside walks on the doorstep.
