About this property
This handsome character residence provides a relaxing escape from modern life pressures to a tranquil setting in the peaceful hamlet of Bissoe. The ambience is far removed from the crowded coastal resorts however the location is close enough to premier visitor attractions and 6 miles equidistant to Truro, Cornwall's vibrant capital, and Falmouth, a maritime town with an amazing coastline and stunning beaches. A spacious cottage with contemporary kitchen with a mezzanine floor and fabulous bi-fold doors taking you into the garden. Traditional meets modern, is definitely where this property sits. The mezzanine has a TV and there is also a cosy sitting room with TV and open fire and there is central heating throughout to ensure it is comfortable for breaks during all seasons.
On the first floor there are three attractive bedrooms, large shower room and a bathroom. Within the grounds there is a separate annex with 5' bed and en-suite, perfect for couples. The large garden is a mixture of lawn, shrubs and trees with a summer house which holds a table tennis table and football table. A convenience store and pub serving delicious ales and food are within a 5 minute drive. Little Chycoose is a lovely base for exploring all parts of Cornwall.

Lt is well equipped and has everything you could want in the kitchen. Sadly I am somewhat disabled and it was not ideal for me. The owner is most helpful and says the follow are in the pipeline. A downstairs loo, an en-suite downstairs s bedroom. A handrail into the kitchen. We were unlucky with the weather as the storm hit and the electricity was. It off. We then had no light or heating.the fourth bedroom is fine but is a walk from the house. It would be great at in the summer but not in December. I had to go to it in the gales and darkness. Donât let me put you off I was just unlucky.

Cobwebs everywhere. The essentials like bedding bathrooms and kitchen were spotless but the house itself needs to have some love too. Listing needs to say there are steps into kitchen and no down stairs toilet. Having two people with limited abilities with stairs did struggle. Cowshed was lovely but needing a fire alarm in there as the heater gets very hot we turned it off as weather was very mild fire the time of year. The shared drive needs to have house name on it so that it can be found easier. Our dog got out of the garden so isnât secure but can imagine the garden is beautiful in the summer. Maybe a welcome book of where you can visit things close by and what days bins go out where they need to be kept etc. just general household things would be nice. Lovely gift on arrival of scones and bubbles. Host is extremely helpful and welcoming. Was a great week away.

Lovely peaceful setting yet so many places to go within easy distance to travel. Cottage was clean, well appointed , with lots of extras (games, ping pong, body boards etc.) that would keep everyone amused. Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and it was very, very nice to arrive after a long journey, to some delicious scones and a bottle of wine
