2 bed cottage for sale

Lemon Hill Gardens, Mylor Bridge, Falmouth TR11

Occupying a prime, central and extremely convenient position in the 'heart' of this extremely well served and highly sought-after creekside village, a semi-detached cottage-style home, located in a small, select courtyard of just 15 homes built by renowned builders Rosemullion Homes, specifically for over 55's.

The Property

Lemon Hill Gardens was built by the highly regarded local construction company - Rosemullion Homes of Truro, and Gardens comprises just fifteen properties arranged around an attractive courtyard, with 'Crill Cottage' having the advantage of direct level access from its own private parking space immediately to the rear, as well as a private gate with access onto Passage Hill and the village's excellent day-to-day amenities.

An annual maintenance charge of £360 covers maintenance and cleaning of common parts, together with lighting, gardening, and management of access roads, paths and common land, thus helping 'Crill Cottage' to provide easy low maintenance living but with the benefit of its own independent access, private gardens and frontage to the village. A more conveniently positioned retirement home in one of south Cornwall's most sought-after villages is hard to imagine and, therefore, we strongly recommend all interested prospective purchasers arrange an early viewing appointment.
