1 Offers over 425,000 Jasmine Cottage, 27 Passage Hill, Mylor Bridge, Nr. Falmouth, South Cornwall FREEHOLD For sale for the first time in 18 years, a beautifully maintained, extended semi-detached double fronted 3 bedroomed period cottage with garage, in the heart of Mylor Bridge, incredibly with a spectacular large rear garden approaching ¼ of an acre, backing onto countryside. The specimen stocked and lawned garden needs to be seen to be believed and has an array of excellent outbuildings including a studio and summerhouse enjoying tranquillity yet just a moments walk from the village facilities and Mylor Creek.

2 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: porch, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with larder, conservatory, study. First Floor: landing/library, 3 bedrooms, bathroom. Outside: garage, modern summerhouse and various timber outbuildings including a studio. Outstandingly beautiful and surprisingly large south facing rear garden including lawns, courtyard, ponds, growing beds and glass houses amongst wonderous beds of flowers, shrubs, palms and trees. In all just under ¼ of an acre. DESCRIPTION Jasmine Cottage is perfectly positioned in Mylor Bridge, being on the relatively quiet Passage Hill just a few hundred yards walk to the excellent village facilities, yet, very surprisingly, it has one of the most sensational gardens one is ever likely to see. The cottage overlooks its garden which is loosely divided into four areas

3 3 including two lawns surrounded by flowers, shrubs and ornamental plants, enjoying privacy and tranquillity even in the heart of the village. The garden backs onto countryside with mature trees along its boundary and long established hedgerows also provide privacy. The other parts of the garden are laid out as fruit and vegetable growing beds with two glass houses and this is divided from an array of timber outbuildings by a pair of ponds with a waterfall. The outbuildings are cleverly disguised behind greenery and are just as smartly kept as the rest of the garden. One of the outbuildings has been used as a pottery studio and is therefore well equipped for many different purposes. In the opposite corner of the garden, overlooking one of the lawns is a superb modern summerhouse which makes a very relaxing space to enjoy the garden. The garden is designed for colour and scent throughout the year. The cottage itself is also very well maintained with white walls throughout and double glazing although the original character has not been lost including beamed ceilings and fireplaces including a large inglenook in the sitting room. In the historic part of the cottage is a study, the sitting room and a dining room with an extension to the rear now providing a light filled spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a conservatory beyond and both of these rooms look out onto the garden. The first floor is broader than the ground floor as the main bedroom is over the top of the garage. The bedrooms each have wood flooring and the windows to the front have window seats below. Handmade timber doors open into the rooms and into the recessed wardrobes in two of them. One of the most pleasing features of the first floor is that the landing broadens into a library making for an additional relaxing space within the house, although as this backs onto the family bathroom,

4 4 there is certainly space and potential to add an additional bathroom to the accommodation if desired. For those looking for a classic country garden but not wanting to compromise on local facilities or convenient location, Jasmine Cottage maybe ideal and is a real rarity in the market. LOCATION Mylor Bridge has a good selection of local shops catering for day to day needs with a well regarded primary school, post office, general stores, butcher and hairdresser. The village is also served by a doctor s surgery, dentist and has regular bus services to both Truro and Falmouth. At the mouth of Mylor Creek is Mylor Churchtown which has the best marina and sailing facilities in Cornwall, as well as provision for over-wintering and a boat yard. Restronguet Sailing Club has regular dinghy racing throughout the season and the many yacht clubs around the Carrick Roads hold racing for larger boats and combine for the annual Falmouth Week Regatta. A walk along the shores of the Carrick Roads along the South West Coast Path leads to Restronguet Creek and the famous 13th Century thatched Pandora Inn which also has a floating quay for visiting boats. Both the cathedral city of Truro and the Port of Falmouth are readily accessible, offering the widest array of shopping, commercial and professional facilities in Cornwall. Between them there are many differing restaurants and bars, sport clubs and schooling facilities, with Truro having three private schools. There is a mainline railway station at Truro with trains to London Paddington taking about 4½ hours and a branch line links this with Falmouth.

THE GARDENS The gardens are arguably the most important aspect of Jasmine Cottage as they extend greatly beyond what most people would expect to be the boundaries and are beautifully maintained. Immediately outside of the conservatory is a large paved courtyard which enjoys a southerly outlook over the garden and great shelter. A pedestrian gate to one side provides a right of way for this cottage only back out to the road which is ideal for removing garden waste without going through the cottage. Along one side of the courtyard is a trellis clad with pink clematis and to the other side is a young vine and rose bush. The extensive garden is laid out in different areas including two lawns surrounded by a bewildering array of magnificent plants including all of the usual Cornish specimens of camelias and rhododendrons but also with tree ferns, palms, grasses, low lying flowers and larger trees. The second area of lawn backs onto open countryside and here one will find a superb SUMMERHOUSE 10 8 x 8 8 with double doors and front and side windows. From the summerhouse barely, any buildings can be seen allowing one to be lost in the garden enjoying peace and privacy.

9 9 Pathways lead through the garden, past further flowering beds, under climbing plant clad pergolas and past a bank of flowering heather. Two large greenhouses are surrounded by fantastic growing beds which uniquely are lined with flowers. A large amount of home grown produce including fruits and vegetables can be obtained from this sunny and sheltered garden which has a composting area in the top corner. Around the fringe of the garden are larger trees all adding to the lovely setting. Also tucked away in a corner, behind trees and a large planted bed with ornamental grasses and an azalea amongst others is a large fish pond with a further pond at an upper level and a waterfall running between them. To the side of this are an extensive array of timber outbuildings providing excellent garden furniture, tool and general storage as well as a log store. Amongst the outbuildings is a STUDIO 15 3 x 7 7 currently used as a pottery and loosely divided into two rooms with a pair of double doors into one part and a pedestrian door into the other with windows wrapping around two sides and overlooking the garden. Power and light sufficient to run a kiln and turning wheel are laid on. In all just under ¼ of an acre.
