GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION
Field Cottage occupies a generous level site in one of the most sought-after parts of the Roseland Peninsula. Designed specifically for the site the dwelling replaces an earlier cottage demolished about 30 years ago and fronts the minor road leading down to Porthcurnick beach with open fields on three sides. It is an interesting building geared for low maintenance and notable for its gabled roof structure and multi-paned casement windows with natural stone reveals. It has been a cherished holiday home for over 25 years and is now reluctantly for sale due to a desire to reduce commitments.
The property enjoys sweeping views in a southerly direction over the Roseland countryside to the estuary of Carrick Roads in the far distance and there are also glimpses of the sea in Gerrans Bay. The position of the property takes full advantage of the afternoon and evening sun.
The dwelling affords a surprising level of accommodation which includes a spacious kitchen/dining room, well-proportioned sitting room, utility, cloakroom, south-facing conservatory and 4th bedroom with ensuite facilities all on the ground floor. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms with the main bedroom having an ensuite bathroom in addition to the main bathroom. Double glazing is standard throughout and there is full oil-fired central heating (a new boiler currently being installed).
The property is located in a quiet rural setting close to the hamlets of Curgurrel and Rosevine which are accessed by a minor county maintained road which is a cul-de-sac ending at Porthcurnick beach. It lies about two miles from the village of Portscatho which together with neighbouring Gerrans is the nearest community of any size. Here there are two public houses, restaurant, local shop and even a doctors surgery. The well known village of St. Mawes is approximately five miles away and this has an all year round passenger ferry to Falmouth with Truro and St. Austell being each about sixteen miles away. For those interested in sailing there are moorings on the Percuil river (about two miles away) and this gives easy access to the sailing waters of Carrick Roads in the Fal Estuary.
