2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
An opportunity to purchase an enchanting two-bedroom Cornish Cottage located in the sought-after village of Chapel Amble where properties rarely come to the market. The property lies just a few miles from the beaches of the Cornish North Coast and is available for sale for the first time in almost 25 years and benefits from no onward chain. For sale by private treaty.
PROPERTY
Old Forge Cottage comprises an attractive two-bedroom semi-detached cottage with gardens and outbuildings to the rear and a separate detached workshop. The original cottage has been extended over time and provides well-proportioned accommodation. On the ground floor, the cottage benefits from a light and airy sitting room divided in two by a central staircase, kitchen-diner and downstairs wet room. To the first floor are two double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room. Outside, to the rear of the property is a patio area with steps and a pathway leading to attractive tiered gardens, providing a variety of distinctive and private areas. Currently offering a natural wildlife haven, the garden could be used for vegetable growing or landscaped as one may wish. There is a summerhouse, as well as a useful outbuilding, which provides storage space for garden tools and machinery. The garden space offers prospective purchasers the opportunity to enjoy alfresco dining and to put their own stamp on how it is used. The rear garden space can also be accessed by a separate pedestrian gateway to the side of the cottage. The property includes a separate detached stone wall and slate roof workshop, which measures approximately 200 sq ft and is situated a few metres away from the front elevation. This provides a further source of useful storage space, or one that could be used as a workshop or office.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on November 4, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
