Description

This charming cottage, believed to have roots in the 17th century, is nestled within approximately 4.5 acres of private grounds in the tranquil hamlet of Penwartha Coombe, not far from Perranporth. After being held by the same family for over forty years, this property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, allowing new owners to reimagine its potential. The interior features three generously sized double bedrooms and functional living spaces, including an open-plan kitchen/diner and a sitting room equipped with a log burner—all areas ripe for modern updates. The kitchen includes essential appliances and ample storage space, while the dining area boasts original wooden floorboards and natural light from multiple windows. The sitting room’s dual aspect allows for plenty of sunshine, creating a warm atmosphere perfect for gathering. The property's layout is both practical and inviting. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms offering comfortable accommodations alongside a family bathroom that presents opportunities for enhancement. Its distinct character is complemented by charming wooden sash windows that contribute to the period appeal throughout. Outside, the expansive grounds are divided by a picturesque stream and contain various elements that enhance its rural charm—sweeping lawns, stables suitable for equestrian use, an orchard, and two sizable meadows bordered by trees provide endless possibilities for creative landscaping or agricultural pursuits. A gravel driveway leads to ample parking space alongside a block-built garage and stone workshop—ideal for hobbyists or potential rental space. The property is located off a quiet country lane at the base of the scenic Penwartha valley, positioned conveniently between Bolingey village and the lively coastal town of Perranporth. The surrounding countryside offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities while remaining close to local amenities. With potential for both personal enjoyment and investment growth through renovation or development (subject to planning permissions), this property stands as an exciting project waiting for someone to breathe new life into it. It's worth noting that while currently providing comfortable living conditions, there is significant scope to upgrade energy efficiency measures; it has an EPC rating of G with potential improvements moving it closer to C status. This cottage represents not just a home but an opportunity—a chance to enhance its historical qualities while making it uniquely your own in a highly sought-after location.
