This 1800s mid-terrace cottage in St Cleer blends period character with a large south-easterly garden — ideal for families seeking countryside living close to Bodmin Moor and Liskeard. The living room’s inglenook fireplace, exposed stone and slate flagstone flooring give the house strong historic charm and a cosy, cottage feel.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a fitted galley kitchen, separate dining room with French doors to the garden, three first-floor bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Practical features include uPVC double glazing and off-street parking for one car; the plot includes a 14x10 shed, vegetable area, patio and mostly lawned space for children and pets.
Important practical points: heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators and the original granite walls are likely uninsulated, which will affect running costs and may prompt retrofit work. Ceiling heights are lower than modern homes in places and the property will suit buyers who appreciate character and are prepared to manage some fabric and energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this is a traditional village cottage with strong appeal for a family or couple wanting a rural base with good local schools and outdoor amenities nearby. It offers immediate charm and scope to improve comfort and efficiency over time.
