Description

This semi-detached cottage offers a promising opportunity for renovation and investment within a peaceful rural landscape, boasting expansive views of the Tamar Valley. Nestled in the village of Calstock, this property is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enhancing its appeal for those looking to create a tranquil home or invest in a project with substantial potential. The location is particularly advantageous, with Calstock providing essential amenities such as a public house, restaurant, and a railway station that connects residents to Plymouth. Nearby towns like Callington and Tavistock are just a short drive away, offering a wider range of shopping and educational facilities. The area is rich in history, being part of an 18th-century mining region known for its fruit production and scenic landscapes along the River Tamar. The cottage itself features three bedrooms and several reception rooms, offering ample space for reconfiguration or expansion. The layout includes an entrance porch leading into a hallway that connects to various living areas, including dining and reception rooms with views of the surrounding countryside. An original kitchen with access to an outdoor courtyard presents opportunities for modernization. With multiple reception rooms available—including one featuring an inset wood burner—there is considerable scope for creating inviting living spaces that take advantage of the property's natural light and rural views. The exterior includes a former swimming pool and additional outbuildings that could be refurbished or repurposed, adding further value to this investment. While requiring significant upgrades throughout—including heating system installation and modernization of bathroom facilities—the property’s structural integrity provides a solid foundation for renovation efforts. A generous level plot allows for creative landscaping or possible extensions, making it an enticing prospect for both homeowners seeking their dream retreat or investors looking to capitalize on the area's charm. In terms of accessibility, Plymouth City Centre is approximately 18 miles away with direct rail links, while Exeter's amenities are within reach at about 47.5 miles. This connectivity paired with the surrounding recreational opportunities—from walking trails on Bodmin Moor to coastal adventures—ensures ongoing appeal in both residential and rental markets. Overall, this cottage stands as not only a home but also as an investment opportunity ripe for transformation in one of Cornwall’s most picturesque locales.
