Situated in the centre of Churchtown, Illogan, this detached period house is believed to date from the 1850s.

Sympathetically updated by our vendor, the property retains many character features including arched mullion windows and granite lintel fireplaces together with polished wood flooring in many of the principal rooms. Offering three bedrooms, there is a family bathroom on the first floor which has been remodelled. The sitting room enjoys a dual-aspect and has a wood-burning stove set into a floor-to-ceiling granite lintel stone fireplace which is complemented by a non-functional granite lintel fireplace to the far end of this room.

There is a separate dining room which, again, enjoys a dual-aspect and focuses on a wood-burning stove, the kitchen/breakfast room has a comprehensive range of units and gives access to a utility room and WC. In addition to the wood-burning stoves, one will find gas fired central heating.

To the outside, there are enclosed cottage-style gardens to both front and rear and these are well-stocked with mature planting and the rear garden features raised beds, ideal for the growing of vegetables.

Centrally located in Churchtown, Illogan, which featured in the filming of the original Poldark series in the mid-1970s, there is schooling close by for younger children and within two miles walking distance is the north coast fishing village of Portreath, country walks will be found nearby in Tehidy Woods.

The village of Illogan has a choice of convenience stores, there are doctor’s surgeries, a pharmacy and a well-respected local Public House selling home-cooked food.

The major towns of Redruth and Camborne, which offer national and local shopping outlets, banks and mainline Railway Stations, are within three miles.
