General Comments - Greystones is a detached character property which epitomises the essence of a charming Cornish cottage. Set in a secluded and beautiful position within the sought after village of Cusgarne, midway between Truro, Falmouth and Redruth, Greystones is a truly unique opportunity which will undoubtedly appeal to a buyer looking for something very special. The cottage is offered for sale with no chain and vacant possession.

A real feature of Greystones is the River Carnon which flows through the gardens from East to West, with a wooden bridge providing access to the grounds on the southern boundary.

The property has been extended since its original form which is notable for its stone frontage with red brick lintels over and around the windows.

The property was withdrawn from the market in January for a £20,000 complete renewal of the septic tank and then relisted on completion in April 2024.

The Property - The property has been a cherished home for many years and although it has been loved, it is fair to say that it now requires general upgrading and modernisation offering a new owner the chance to make the cottage their own. The accommodation comprises; kitchen/breakfast room, lounge/dining room, utility/W.C. and conservatory. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is ample parking and a car port.

Cusgarne - Cusgarne is a thriving community with an excellent primary school and a well known farm shop just along the road, the Cusgarne Organic farm. With the neighbouring village of Frogpool which has a public house and the village hall just a mile away.

Approximately six miles to the north east lies the city of Truro which has a much wider range of facilities including banks, building societies, shops, schools, public houses and the main line railway link to London Paddington.
