With Mallard Reach set back and elevated, the property is approached from a quiet lane onto an impressively landscaped parking area with retaining walls and slate steps leading up to the enclosed front gardens.

The veranda deck is made of untreated larch, a naturally rot proof softwood supplied from a local Cornish sawmill and runs almost the width of the front of the property.
The front door opens into a central hallway with stairs to the first floor. To the left is the lounge with an original stripped wood floor and attractive bay window to the front aspect allowing plenty of light into the room. To the right is an almost identical room which offers a good size double bedroom, again with an original stripped wood floor and attractive bay window to the front aspect. Further down the hall, there is a snug/sitting room to the left while to the right is another double bedroom. At this end of the house is also a single bedroom, bathroom with panelled bath and shower over and separate cloakroom.
The snug/sitting room has stripped wood French doors into the dining room and a serving hatch from the kitchen. There is a Scandinavian wood burning stove and original stripped wood flooring. The original picture rails and built in shelving and cupboards on either side of the chimney breast are certainly worth a mention too. The dining room sits within the extended part of the property. This light and bright room has a dual aspect and stripped wood flooring. There is a door to the side with access to a side passage and access into the kitchen at the rear. The kitchen has UPVC French doors to the rear courtyard and a tiled floor. To one side there is a range of freestanding floor units with an integral hob and eyelevel electric oven. The other side has a ceramic sink inset within a beech block work surface while some original shelving is utilised. A separate utility room houses a new pressurised hot water cylinder and further original cupboards and shelving.
The master double bedroom and en-suite bathroom take up the whole of the first floor. This dual aspect room takes advantage of the superb far reaching rural views across the surrounding countryside. The en-suite bathroom comprises a white suite with panelled bath and shower over, wash hand basin and low level flush wc.
To the rear of the property is a courtyard with space for a table and chairs and two storage sheds, one with power and water supply. A path leads around the side of the house where there is an outside shower and oil tank. Services to the property include mains water, electricity and drainage with an oil fired central heating system. EPC rating E.
