This distinctive property offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most secluded homes in West Cornwall, boasting impressive views of both the northern and southern coasts. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Carne Cottage is located near the charming village of Zennor, approximately five miles from St. Ives, surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the West Penwith moors.
The cottage enjoys an exceptional setting, accessed via nearly half a mile of single-track road leading to a private oasis amidst the rugged terrain. This remote location ensures peace and serenity, with no public rights of way encroaching on its boundaries and encompassing about 5 acres of land that offer further development potential.
Previously owned by notable artists whose works are featured in Tate Gallery, Carne Cottage is not just a residence but also a canvas for creativity inspired by its stunning natural surroundings. With permitted development rights already granted for restoration and substantial redevelopment—subject to necessary consents—this property presents an exciting investment opportunity for those looking to create a truly unique retreat.
Current permissions allow for various enhancements including extensions, an art studio/home office, outbuildings, a double garage, and solar PV installation. The property has been successfully cleared for access improvements as well, ensuring future development can proceed smoothly.
Given its isolated location and picturesque views, Carne Cottage holds immense potential for personal transformation or as a vacation rental investment in the breathtaking Cornish landscape.
