A rare, characterful double-fronted stone cottage set in about 1.5 acres on the edge of Mount Hawke, offered for sale believed for the first time. The extended five-bedroom accommodation totals about 2,300 sq.ft., arranged over a light-filled main house with annexe potential and a detached two-storey barn, gardens and generous parking.
The land has planning in principle (July 2025) for the proposed erection of up to nine dwellings, creating clear development upside for a developer or investor. The barn and outbuildings also offer further scope, though any conversion or new build will need full planning consents and typical site servicing works.
For a family the property combines character and space with modern comforts: double glazing and an air-source heat pump provide energy-efficient heating, and the village location sits two miles from north-coast beaches and close to highly rated local primary schools. Council tax is high and the plot’s scale and planning position mean managing and progressing development will require professional input and additional cost.
In short, this is a substantial rural property that suits a buyer seeking a large private home with long-term development potential or an investor/developer who can manage the planning and build process.
