_The Property_
This attractive and interesting detached cottage has been in the same family
ownership since 1963 prior to which it formed part of the Treffry Estate. It
was the subject of a major refurbishment programme in 2011/12 with
improvements that included re - wiring, double glazed wooden windows, re -
plumbing and a new kitchen and bathroom. Since then, a wood burner was
installed in 2015 and in 2019 a positive pressure ventilation system.
The cottage gardens extend to around 1⁄4 of an acre and are mainly lawned with
part seeded as a wild flower meadow around the apple tree. At the top of the
garden is a block built building, once used as a chicken shed. Hereto is a
small stone and slate outbuilding and a concrete hardstanding, once the floor
to a farm shed. At the bottom of the lower garden is a small stone built
garden store, and across the lane is a parking area for three cars and a
former farm shed, ideal for use as a garage.
_Location_
The hamlet of Retire is in essence a former farmstead that is surrounded by
unspoilt countryside, 2 miles north of the A30, near Withiel. The village
amenities of Lanivet are a little over 3 miles distant and include a village
store, Post Office, a primary school, a public house and a popular fish and
chip shop. Other primary schools in the area include Nanstallon (with a bus
service) or St Wenn together with Roche where there is a wide range of shops
and facilities. The former County town of Bodmin is 6 miles away and provides
a more comprehensive range of schooling, shopping, health and leisure
amenities. The Camel Trail at Grogley is 3 miles away and the north Cornish
coast, with iconic towns such as Padstow and Wadebridge are within a half hour
drive, as are the major towns of Launceston, St Austell and Truro. A network
of footpaths are close to hand in the area and includes the Saints Way, making
this an ideal location for those who enjoy countryside walks.
