This two-bedroom terraced cottage in the quaint hamlet of Doodycross presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled between the villages of Tideford and Menheniot, this property offers a peaceful rural setting with easy access to essential amenities and major roadways, notably the A38.
Menheniot village is just a short distance away and provides a range of local facilities. Residents can take advantage of the primary school, post office, village store, and local inn, as well as recreational options such as tennis and cricket at the sports field. The nearby Menheniot Station, approximately three miles from the property, offers mainline rail connections to Plymouth and Truro, making it especially convenient for commuters or families with children attending schools further afield.
Additional amenities can be found in both Tideford and St Germans—with St Germans offering historic charm around the Port Eliot Estate and access to sailing on the River Lynher. For broader shopping options and community services, Liskeard is just six miles away, while Saltash (eight miles) features a Waitrose store and picturesque waterfront along the River Tamar.
The cottage itself requires significant renovation but possesses original features that could be beautifully restored. Spanning approximately 736 square feet, the layout includes a sitting room, kitchen/dining area, bathroom, and two double bedrooms on the upper floor. Given its current condition, prospective buyers should conduct their own assessments of fixtures and utilities.
Outside, there’s a driveway with space for one vehicle leading to an attached garage. The garden is enclosed with a south-facing aspect that backs onto open fields—ideal for enjoying views over farmland. Additionally, there are two outhouses within the garden for extra storage needs. A nearby stone outbuilding also adds potential for various uses.
This property not only offers a blank canvas for those looking to create a charming home but also holds promise as an investment opportunity in a desirable rural location. With its combination of potential renovations needed and proximity to key amenities and transport links, this cottage is well-positioned for long-term value enhancement.
