Situated in a quiet area of an historic market town, this elegant two double bedroom converted former Cornish workhouse exhibits the architectural merits & appealing characteristics of the original Grade II listing building.
Externally, the original building displays attractive granite and stone detailing and beautifully and immaculately maintained communal gardens and grounds. There are communal parking areas with the property having one allocated space.
Subsequent to being a Cornish workhouse, Retreat Court was a hospital and was converted to residential properties in 2002. Number 10 is the former reception and sits prominently within the development. A quirky property, the accommodation centres around the octagonal dining area with all rooms leading off.
There are two genuine double bedrooms and two newly and stylishly fitted bathrooms include a master en-suite shower room. The living/kitchen area is home to a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated glass gas hob, electric oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The breakfast bar separates the kitchen from the comfortable living area. The aforementioned octagonal dining room is a wonderful space with black and white tiled floor, cupboard, serving hatch to the kitchen and a view straight down the entrance hall to the communal gardens.
The property has unusually high ceilings, sliding sash windows, fitted blinds, premium carpets and luxury vinyl flooring. Please note, properties at Retreat Court are not permitted to holiday let. Though the lease does not allow holiday letting it does allow sub tenancy agreements (minimum 3m) via an agent rental income circ £900pcm.
This is a leasehold property and benefits from the remainder of a 999 year lease. There is a service charge of £1,758 per annum which includes buildings insurance, external maintenance of the building and upkeep of the communal gardens and grounds. The ground rent is £133.56 per annum.
Services to the property include mains water, electricity, gas and drainage. EPC rating C. Council tax band B. Ofcom suggest superfast broadband availability. Ofcom suggest 4G mobile connectivity.

As such, we at Jackie Stanley highly recommend an internal viewing at the earliest opportunity to fully appreciate the immaculate characteristics of this lovely property.
