Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom cottage is set at the edge of the village and includes the adjoining part-shell of No. 63. The existing cottage has mains water, electricity and drainage, with access alongside No. 57 Churchtown. Hayle, Camborne and Marazion are within reach.
Planning permission was granted in 2022 for an extension into the adjoining structure, including a larger ground-floor living room and an upstairs en-suite bedroom and family bathroom. That consent has expired, so any future scheme would require the necessary consents to be checked. The property is freehold and viewings are by appointment. The sale is by public auction, with room, online, telephone and proxy bidding available.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £95,000, this is a notably low-priced way into a two-bedroom stone cottage: the asking price is 37% below the local average on a £/sqf basis. The existing cottage has character in its exposed stonework and fireplace, while its dated, partly unfinished finishes, overgrown garden and adjoining part-shell offer plenty of scope to reshape and improve the property. The stated works range is £8,000–£20,000; the comparison with local average value is encouraging, but it is not a renovated-value estimate and excludes fees and other purchase costs.
The adjoining shell is a distinctive part of the opportunity, with a previously approved extension scheme that has now expired; any future works would need feasibility and consent checks. This is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh, so the shell’s condition and the overall scope deserve careful inspection.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated cottage interior while retaining features such as the exposed stonework and large fireplace with stove.
- Explore how the adjoining part-shell could add space and improve the layout, subject to inspection and the necessary consents.
- Clear and improve the overgrown garden to make better use of the outdoor space.
Key risks
- The incomplete adjoining shell, exposed unfinished areas and garden overgrowth make this a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a carefully scoped budget and timetable.
- The scope and feasibility of extending into the adjoining shell require inspection and consent checks; the previous planning permission has expired.
