Description

Tucked away in the charming hamlet of Rosecare, this single-storey cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Located just a mile from the breathtaking cliffs and beach at Crackington Haven, the property offers not only a tranquil setting but also excellent potential for those looking to enhance its character. The layout features three bedrooms—a double, a twin, and a single—along with a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area that is anchored by a log burner on a slate hearth. While the cottage is functional as it stands, it requires modernisation in certain areas, making it an appealing project for buyers eager to imprint their style and vision. The presence of UPVC double-glazed windows and a recently installed front door indicates some updates have been made, with electric heating supplementing the warmth of the log burner. One of its notable assets is the attached garage, providing ample storage space along with a utility area at the rear. The property includes all essential white goods, which could prove advantageous whether you choose to reside here or rent it out as a holiday let. Additionally, there is an area of land at the front that captures morning sunlight—ideal for outdoor seating—and another off-road parking space nearby that may hold potential for further garden space or even an extension, subject to planning permissions. The location itself enhances this property's appeal. Set back from the main thoroughfare, residents can enjoy peace while remaining conveniently close to local amenities in Wainhouse Corner, which include shops and pubs. The proximity to both Crackington Haven's picturesque cove and access points along the North Cornish Coastal Path further elevates its desirability for outdoor enthusiasts. Offered without onward chain, this cottage could serve as an inviting coastal retreat or vacation rental, provide an ideal downsizing solution, or function as a comfortable primary residence. Furthermore, new owners will become part of Rosecare Farm Cottages Ltd., contributing to communal maintenance efforts within this well-regarded community. In summary, this property stands out not just for its quiet charm but also for its potential. With creative vision and some renovation work, it could transform into your dream home by the coast or serve as an attractive rental investment in this sought-after area.
