Location

Riverside Cottage is situated in the peaceful rural village of Nancledra, a small and highly regarded community set within the beautiful West Cornwall countryside. Surrounded by rolling farmland, wooded valleys and quiet country lanes, it also has its own highly regarded village primary school. Nancledra offers an appealing sense of tranquillity while remaining conveniently placed for the north and south coasts.

The village is located approximately midway between the popular coastal town of St Ives and the historic market town of Penzance. St Ives, renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches, harbour, galleries, restaurants and vibrant artistic heritage, is readily accessible by road, while Penzance provides a wide range of everyday amenities, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and professional services.

The nearby village of Gulval and the town of Marazion provide further local facilities, with Marazion also offering access to the famous St Michael’s Mount and one of the finest beaches in the area. The dramatic coastline around Land’s End, Sennen and the Penwith peninsula is within easy reach, as are numerous sandy coves, coastal walks and areas of outstanding natural beauty.

For commuters and those travelling further afield, mainline railway services are available from Penzance, with connections to Truro, Exeter, Bristol and London Paddington. Newquay Airport is also accessible by road, providing regular domestic and seasonal international flights.

With its peaceful village setting, beautiful surrounding countryside and excellent access to both St Ives and Penzance, Nancledra is an ideal location for those seeking a rural Cornish lifestyle without feeling isolated.

Entrance Hall

A fabulous introduction to the property. The spacious entrance hall has slate flooring and a wonderfully light and modern feel, with windows to the front and side complemented by a skylight above the first-floor landing which allows natural light to filter through the stairwell. Staircase rising to the first floor and door to:

Cloakroom

With continuation of the slate flooring, close-coupled WC, wall-mounted wash hand basin and radiator.

Living / Dining Room

Radiators and ample space for a good-sized dining table and chairs, making this an excellent room for both everyday living and entertaining.

Kitchen

A good-sized kitchen with continuation of the slate flooring and an extensive range of fitted base and eye-level units providing plenty of storage and worktop space.

Stainless steel sink and drainer, plumbing and space for washing machine and slimline dishwasher, four-ring electric hob with electric oven beneath. Window to the side overlooking the gardens and ample power points.

Snug / Second Lounge

A hugely useful additional reception room which gives the accommodation excellent versatility. Particularly bright and light, with a large skylight, window to the front and double doors opening directly onto the gardens.

Shower Room

Fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure with mains-fed shower, close-coupled WC and wash hand basin. Window to the side and fitted wall mirror with electrical supply behind for an illuminated/electric mirror. Access to loft space.

Outside

The outside space at Riverside Cottage is quite exceptional and undoubtedly one of the defining features of the property.

Access is gained through five-bar timber gates opening onto an ample off-road parking area, with a couple of useful storage sheds.

The gardens extend in total to approximately one-third of an acre and have been beautifully arranged over a number of different levels and areas. The main gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with established borders containing an abundance of mature shrubs, plants and trees.

The sheltered position creates a wonderful microclimate, allowing for a particularly interesting variety of planting. Steps lead through the gardens to a large workshop/studio, offering tremendous potential for hobbies, creative use, a home workspace or simply excellent additional storage.

Throughout the gardens are numerous places to sit and enjoy the surroundings, including a dedicated corner seating area.

Streamside Garden

On a separate title
Perhaps the most magical part of Riverside Cottage is its beautiful streamside garden.

This wonderfully secluded area has an even more pronounced microclimate feel, with established streamside planting complemented by recently planted fruit trees.

The property includes ownership of the stream area, with access down alongside the water as it meanders through the grounds towards an attractive old bridge.

Peaceful, private and incredibly picturesque, it is a genuinely idyllic part of the garden and something that photographs alone are unlikely to do justice.
