2 bedroom cottage for sale

DESCRIPTION

Affectionately known locally as "The Old Sweet Shop", this "chocolate-box" cottage sits within a very short walk of the centre of St Just and all of its facilities.

Originally having three bedrooms, the current vendor has made changes to the layout to create a fabulous vaulted, studio space on the first floor with the kitchen/diner at one end as well as a family bathroom. The first-floor open-plan room has exposed beams, a modern wood burner and wooden floors; making this a very striking room that lends itself well to be being the living room or as it's currently used: a studio room with space for a double bed in one recess.

On the ground floor, the layout has been altered, but it is easy to see the flexibility on offer here. To the front is one double bedroom, and a larger room that has incorporated the original central hallway off the front door. This space was previously used as a sweet shop, but now houses a second modern wood burner and has a large window with a deep window seat, so could be a second bedroom. To the rear of this larger space is a utility room with plumbing and drainage; offering potential for an ensuite to the larger master bedroom.

At the other end of the cottage on the ground floor is a shower room, that again could be incorporated in to the second bedroom if you wanted two ensuite bedrooms on the ground floor; maximising the open-plan living space to the first floor!

Outside to the front is a courtyard space that could be made in to a very fitting cottage garden space. The cottage is south-facing, and the outside space offers enough room for seating to soak up the sun!
