Salt Box Close, Mylor

THE PROPERTY Boskensa is a lovely village home with appeal and quality that’s so hard to find. Set at the head of a select close and just a few minutes’ walk from the creekside, this detached bungalow was built in the 1970s at a time of less pressure to build intensively and since when it has been thoughtfully improved and has evolved beautifully. Its orientation is spot on with a joyful, enclosed and private rear garden facing South and West, accessed via French doors from the living/dining room and kitchen, and from the hallway. There are three bedrooms, the main en suite, in addition to the ‘family’ bath/shower room and WC. Energy saving credentials are impressive and reassuring with its air source heat pump, scheme of additional insulation and array of photovoltaic (solar panels). Beside the bungalow and internally accessed, are two generous interconnecting garages that will perhaps excite many for the considerable storage/workshop facility they currently provide. We believe there is also great scope here, subject to any necessary consents, to expand the accommodation, or adapt and create a wonderful studio, work from home office, or whatever suits. Being sold without onward chain, we are excited to be marketing 4 Salt Box Close, recognising how rare and special it is! THE LOCATION 4 Salt Box Close occupies a lovely spot on the favoured southern side of Mylor Creek, just a few minutes’ walk away, whilst the village centre is about five minutes on foot. Mylor has an active, friendly community and excellent facilities that include the Lemon Arms Pub, the well-stocked Mylor store, a highly regarded primary school, pre-school and playgroups. Great to have a new coffee shop and deli, Isobel’s, in the village. Those in the know make their weekly pilgrimage to The Food Barn at Tregew, about a mile away; it’s a Saturday produce market, where over 20 stalls come together to offer inspired and varied produce that is high in quality and encourages a supportive environment. There are doctor and dentist surgeries, a post office and newsagent, hairdressers, award-winning butcher's shop plus a fishmonger. The Village Hall has an extensive programme that includes exhibitions, a history group, keep-fit classes and monthly cinema showings. There are also several local clubs, tennis courts, a bowling green, playing fields, plus a regular bus service running to Falmouth and Truro. Small wonder that the Sunday Times has named Mylor Bridge as 'One of the Best Places to Live' and that it is one of the most desirable villages around. The village is located approximately 4 miles from the harbour town of Falmouth and 8 miles from the Cathedral City of Truro. Mylor Creek is a tributary of the River Fal, leading into the Carrick Roads with access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country. There are a number of yacht clubs nearby, including those at Restronguet, Mylor, Flushing and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour, just a short distance away, has remarkable facilities including a Marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers, marine services and restaurants.
