A secluded country cottage smallholding positioned amongst mature woodland on the edge of the Enys Estate, close to the desirable creekside village of Mylor Bridge on the south coast of Cornwall.
OFFERS ARE TO BE RECEIVED BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY 5TH JULY 2023.
Positioned within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and overlooking picturesque farmland, Holly Cottage is approached via roads that tunnel through the surrounding woodland, ablaze with bluebells during early summer and ever-changing through the year. Located within a plot of over one acre, the cottage provides an increasingly rare opportunity to renovate and redevelop an unspoilt rural property with fantastic access to both Truro and Falmouth.
PROPERTY At the core of the property is a traditional 2 bedroom, 2 reception room cottage, benefitting from all the character features one would expect, such as fireplaces, sash windows and a pretty timber porch entrance. Over time Holly Cottage has been extended to include a double storey extension that provides a large living room and a third, principal bedroom, as well as lean-to extensions to the rear and side that house the kitchen and bathroom. Centrally positioned within the plot and with clear opportunity to renovate, extend and remodel, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, the plot extends to 1.08 acres. Consisting of a variety of garden areas immediately surrounding the property, including a wooded area and a courtyard of small outbuildings which could be used for agricultural, horticultural or personal uses, a 0.58 acre paddock encircled by mature trees is located to the rear of the cottage, accessed by a separate track and served by a further garage.
LOCATION Holly Cottage is located on the periphery of the historic Enys Estate, one of the oldest in Cornwall, which along with other landed estates such as the former Carclew Estate, have ensured that the Mylor peninsula has retained a special atmosphere created by the large areas of woodland and well maintained and laid out farmland. Enjoying a quiet rural setting, the area also benefits from very easy access to the harbour towns of Falmouth and Penryn, the University of Exeter campus at Penryn, as well as the city of Truro. As such, the property benefits from proximity to a full array of professional services, administrative, retailand employment opportunities as well as private and state schooling for all ages and extensive leisure and watersport activities.
The nearby village of Mylor Bridge, positioned at the head of Mylor Creek, is renowned for its strong community and wide range of services including Post Office, village store, butcher, fishmonger, public house, church, primary school and array of community buildings and facilities.

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
