Description
This detached three-bedroom stone cottage is set in a rural position near Penrose, around two miles from St Merryn and five miles from Padstow. The accommodation includes a long lounge and dining area with a wood-burning stove, a separate sitting room and a kitchen with an LPG Aga, fitted cupboards and integrated appliances. A garden room and attached potting shed provide additional space connected to the main house.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom opens onto a terrace or veranda overlooking the grounds. The property is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring modernisation and improvement, giving a purchaser scope to update it to their own requirements.
Outside, a gated gravel drive leads to parking and two detached garages. The mature garden includes lawns, established planting, patios, a greenhouse, garden sheds and a natural stream. Nearby beaches, golf courses and Newquay Airport are within the distances stated by the agent. Freehold.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Lewidden has the character and setting to make a distinctive country-home project: a stone-built cottage with exposed beams, a wood burner, a generous mature garden, and a stream. The photographed interiors offer clear scope to update finishes and floor coverings, with the kitchen and coloured bathroom suite among the more visible opportunities. The garden is established rather than a blank canvas, and the supplied exterior views show no obvious major roof failure.
The score is 52/100, grade D: the project has appealing fundamentals, but the overall opportunity is limited and value cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The £40,000–£65,000 renovation range gives a sense of the medium-scale work involved; marks and discolouration in places should be investigated, and the garden room, potting shed and detached garages merit inspection.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen while retaining or reworking its distinctive LPG range and stone fireplace setting.
- Modernise the coloured bathroom suite and update dated decoration and floor coverings across the photographed rooms.
- Make the most of the mature, private garden, stream and patios, with scope to improve weathered paved areas.
Key risks
- Marks and discolouration in places need investigation to establish their cause and any repair scope.
- Inspect the garden room, potting shed and detached garages to establish their condition and any relevant consent requirements.
