  Large Character House with Private Parking - 4 miles from Falmouth and yet only 6 miles from the North Coast Beaches.
 

Dating from the 1800's with open-beam ceilings, exposed stone-work and wooden floors, The Old School House is ideally situated on the outskirts of the village, within easy reach of both north and south coast beaches and harbours, golf courses, marinas and the market town of Truro. A 50' open plan living area includes large open fire-place, pool table, modern fitted kitchen and oak dining table to seat eight comfortably.

Also within this area is a large galleried fourth bedroom. The cavernous master suite has original wooden floor and sash windows, exposed stonework, large four-poster bed and a stylish marble/slate en-suite shower room/toilet.

A large slated courtyard terrace offers sheltered sun-bathing or dining in total privacy, with barbecue and garden furniture. Electrically operated gates give access to a cobbled driveway and oak framed car-port, with ample secure parking. There is a village pub and post-office/general store within easy walking distance.
