Description

This detached cottage, nestled in a secluded rural setting, represents a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment. With expansive views of the surrounding countryside, the property includes two bedrooms, a lounge/dining room, a kitchen and a bathroom—though all require significant refurbishment. The garden space is generous, complemented by an adjoining paddock that features stables. With no immediate neighbours and ample parking, this site holds potential for creating a stunning residence or even expanding the existing structure (subject to planning permission). It's worth noting that while some initial renovations have been undertaken, including insulation and updated wiring, major work is still needed to restore the cottage or to replace it altogether. Additionally, the grounds provide over an acre of land with possibilities for outdoor living enhancements. The idyllic position of Lower Holywell places it just between Truro and Bodmin, offering access to local amenities as well as swift routes to both Cornish coasts. Given its current condition and prospects for transformation, this property is ideal for cash buyers looking to invest in a remarkable project.
