An exceptionally well presented, three bedroom, stone fronted, semi detached country cottage with a delightful garden and rural outlook. ‘Halcot’ offers discerning buyers the opportunity to purchase a stylish and tasteful home that seamlessly blends the character and charm of a period cottage with the refinements of modern living.
Situated in the well regarded rural village of Porkellis, the cottage has off road parking, a versatile carport and a thoughtfully conceived garden which enjoys a southerly aspect and lovely views over fields and countryside beyond.
Character features include white beamed ceilings, tastefully painted local stonework, a stylish fireplace with wood burning stove, latched doors, wood panelled walls and attractive painted floorboards. These are effortlessly complemented by bi-fold doors that open out invitingly into the garden and patio area and would seem a perfect place in which to relax and enjoy some al fresco dining.
Enjoying a sunny aspect and with the clever use of skylights, the cottage is flooded with natural light making it a warm and welcoming place in which to live. The open plan living space is light and airy, from the stylish crafted kitchen to the cosy lounge and dining area.
On the first floor are three generously sized double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, stylish painted floorboards and an elevated outlook over the rear garden to the rural scene beyond. These are complemented by a nicely appointed bathroom suite and a practical wet room with underfloor heating.
The large triple aspect main bedroom could easily be used as an additional lounge, snug or office to suit a particular buyer's needs.
The accommodation, in brief, comprises an open plan kitchen/dining room, lounge and a wet room. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The cottage benefits from anthracite aluminium double glazing, a ’Terma’ electric heating system and ethernet points which are likely to appeal to those who may wish to work from home.
