The large kitchen to the rear has a farmhouse style with a central Rayburn (use as boiler only), integrated oven and hob, space for free standing white goods and room for table and chairs. There is access to and views over the stunning rear garden. Adjoining the main living room is a substantial single storey extension that offers a spacious second sitting room with wood burner.

Quiet and peaceful rural property
Above: Falmouth
Above: Little Carnmenellis
The property lies on the south-eastern slopes of Carnmenellis, one of the great hills running down the spine of Cornwall. The landscape is wild and romantic with scattered small cottages and farms with fields enclosed by stone hedges made from granite moorland boulders. Sitting approximately 40m below the summit, the house enjoys a delightful rural position with far-reaching views across many miles of open countryside. The location is most attractive although not remote with other properties in the general area. Local amenities will be found at Stithians while a number of towns are within easy reach including Truro (13 miles), Falmouth, (9 miles) and Helston, (7 miles). All offer a good range of shopping facilities. A mile or so to the east is Stithians Reservoir, a body of water covering around 275 acres and offering a ranger of leisure pursuits including fishing, sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. But it is perhaps for bird watching that the reservoir is best known with a wide resident population supplemented by migrants. Also readily accessible is the north coastline which offers a choice of sandy beaches.

"Little Carnmenellis has proven to be our perfect work/life balance hideaway, the mornings and evenings are so full of nature’s chorus and the wildlife is a joy to watch. We are fortunate in that our home is surrounded by our own land and we are quite central to everything we need."
