Description

Nestled in a tranquil corner of the South West, this adaptable smallholding presents a unique opportunity for investment or renovation. Spanning approximately 7.8 acres, the property features a three-bedroom detached cottage that was revitalized in 2015 from previously derelict structures, combining traditional elements with modern amenities. The residence is approached via a sturdy hard-standing drive leading to ample parking suitable for multiple vehicles.<br><br>The cottage showcases exposed granite features and benefits from PVC double glazing and oil-fired heating, yet there remains potential for upgrades to enhance energy efficiency and comfort. Internally, the layout comprises an entrance hall, utility room equipped with plumbing for appliances, and a dual-aspect kitchen/diner that opens into a living room featuring French doors that lead to an outdoor terrace—ideal for enjoying serene views of the gardens and beyond.<br><br>Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms include a master suite with en-suite facilities and a family bathroom; however, further modernization could greatly improve their appeal. Externally, the picturesque grounds comprise mature gardens alongside valuable outbuildings: two barns ripe for conversion or expansion (subject to planning) alongside a generous workshop/store.<br><br>This property is set against a backdrop of rolling pastures bounded by traditional Cornish hedgerows, offering both agricultural potential and opportunities for leisure or biodiversity projects. Located conveniently between Falmouth and Helston with access to local amenities while benefiting from rural tranquility makes it attractive for those seeking lifestyle renovations or investment prospects.
