General Comments - The location of Lower Holywell is very special indeed. Found towards the end of a very long unmade lane it enjoys complete privacy with no near neighbours. The cottage enjoys fabulous uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside and backs onto fields with a lovely south facing aspect guaranteeing sun all day.

The cottage is in a poor state of repair and has not been lived in for several years. The current owners have started the renovations including the addition of wall insulation in some of the internal rooms, some new wiring has been added including a new consumer unit, addition of modern double glazing and some replastering. The kitchen and bathrooms have been stripped. Whilst there is scope to extend, it is possible that purchasers may look to demolish the existing cottage and replace with a larger more impressive dwelling that will compliment this large site and location (subject to planning permission).

The large front gardens are mainly lawn and offer huge potential to create an amazing space. A driveway provides plenty of parking and there is ample space for a garage and workshop. Adjoining the cottage and gardens is the paddock which runs along the side and rear enclosed on three sides by natural hedge boundaries. A detached timber building is located at the top of the field with hay store and two stables. The whole property extends to approximately 1.27 acres and enjoys far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.

Location - The location of Lower Holywell is almost halfway between Truro and Bodmin and is within a short distance of the A30 trunk road for quick commuting throughout the county. The nearest facilities is at Victoria (approximately two miles) and the village of Roche (two and a half miles). The north and south Cornish coasts are within easy driving distance and Newquay airport is also close by.
