Description
This historic former farmhouse, dating back over 400 years, is now available for refurbishment in the scenic Church Cove on The Lizard Peninsula. Recognized as a Grade II listed building, this property offers remarkable potential for restoration. With its unique cob and stone structure, the home is in need of comprehensive repairs to transform it into either a stunning family residence or potentially two separate dwellings suitable for multi-generational living or rental. The property boasts gardens on two sides and provides off-road parking for two vehicles, enhancing its appeal as an investment opportunity. Located in a picturesque area renowned for its breathtaking coastline and rich history, this property presents a unique chance to create a bespoke home that reflects the charm of its two principal architectural periods.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At a guide price of £350,000, this Grade II listed former farmhouse is offered at about £144 per sq ft, well below the local average of £349 per sq ft — a strikingly low guide that gives a buyer scope to acquire a substantial historic property in a distinctive coastal setting. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
This is a heavy restoration project, not a cosmetic refresh: several rooms show extensive deterioration, and some outbuildings appear substantially damaged. The appeal is the 17th-century character, large rooms, gardens on two sides and the possibility of shaping the property as a distinctive family home; any alternative configuration would need its feasibility and permissions checked.
Key opportunities
- Restore the large rooms while retaining and showcasing original features such as fireplaces, timber doors and exposed beams.
- Rework the historic farmhouse as a distinctive family home, with gardens on two sides and off-road parking adding to its setting.
- The attached listed cottages and historic layout suggest potential for alternative configurations, subject to permissions and feasibility.
Key risks
- Extensive deterioration across several rooms, with missing finishes, staining and worn bare floors, means planning for a heavy full-interior restoration rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Some outbuildings appear substantially deteriorated, with roof structure exposed or missing; the main roof condition is unclear.
- The property is Grade II listed, and any proposed reconfiguration or restoration approach will need to account for the relevant permissions and constraints.
