With a distinctive thatched roof and a wealth of historic character features—exposed beams, fireplaces and timber floors.

The heart of the home is a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room, complemented by two reception rooms with wood-burning stoves and LPG central heating throughout. The principal bedroom is great double room in terms of size, with a beautiful guest room enjoys its own en suite facilities, while the remaining 2 bedrooms offer versatility for extra family or as a dressing room, as our clients currently use the 4th bedroom for.

Beyond the main cottage, the property unfolds into a remarkably flexible estate. A spacious two-storey one-bedroom annexe features its own entrance, living room, two kitchen areas, conservatory and a private courtyard garden—perfect for multi-generational living or independent rental. Two further single-storey one-bedroom annexes, each with kitchen/living spaces, modern bathrooms, and pretty cottage-style gardens, have long-established use as successful holiday lets, presenting a unique income opportunity.

The extensive landscaped gardens are a riot of colour and texture, showcasing mature planting, patios and no fewer than three scenic lookout spots from which to enjoy sweeping vistas across Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor and the sea beyond.

Outbuildings include a thatched utility/laundry room, summerhouse, workshop and storage. The gravelled in and out drive provides ample parking for the cottage and annexes. All 3 annexes have separate and secluded garden areas featuring courtyards, patios, privacy and well stocked pretty gardens.

Whether you're seeking an idyllic family home with space for extended family or looking to combine country living with income generation, this magical Cornish retreat offers something truly special.

SELLERS INSIGHT
We are sad to leave this lovely home we have lived in for over 22 years. We will miss the early morning bird song and the gorgeous vistas and spectacular sunsets from different view points throughout our gardens. We have had many wonderful memories of barbecues in the garden with family and friends. Unfortunately age has caught up with us and begrudgingly we feel the time has come to downsize and be nearer to family. We will miss our wonderful house and all our neighbours (95% of which are still here). It is so peaceful and quiet and very private and although in a country lane only 5 mins car ride away from amenities and the wonderful sandy beaches.
