Description

DESCRIPTIONAffectionately known locally as "The Gingerbread House" this pretty cottage sits centrally in the popular and busy town of St Just in West Cornwall - a short walk from local shops, galleries, pubs and cafes. With three bedrooms, a wonderfully bright kitchen/dining room, roomy living spaces and a surprisingly large and private garden at the rear, this endearing cottage  is a characterful and unique home that has been well maintained and is presented in good order. To the ground floor you have a reception room that stretches the width of the cottage with a decorative fireplace at one end and the recess of an inglenook at the other end that now provides a useful workspace. Through to the rear is a further reception room with an open fireplace that in turn opens out in to the modern kitchen with vaulted ceilings and Velux roofights. The kitchen and appliances are all around two years old, and appliances are available by separate negotiation. To the first floor are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. All bedrooms feature the unique arched, dormer windows, and offer the character you would expect from a cottage of this age and design - a very 'chocolate box' cottage indeed. To the rear of the property is a good-size garden that has an outside WC as well as a generous storage shed which would make a fantastic workshop were mains power connected. The garden has a variety of well-established palms, camelias and agapanthus giving the garden a thoroughly mediterranean feel. Rear timber gates lead to an access lane that gives pedestrian access to a lane at the rear of South Place.LOCATIONSt Just is a very popular town with a thriving community and a varied mix of busy shops and businesses. Properties here are predominantly granite cottages harking back to the tin mining era and St Just"s prosperous heritage.  Boasting two fantastic butchers, four pubs, traditional grocers, and two convenience stores, St Just has all the essentials covered, as well as offering well-respected art galleries, popular eateries, and some stunning coastal walks nearby.  There is both a primary and secondary school in St Just, both rated as Good by Ofsted most recently.
