Meadowside Cottage is a detached, extended period cottage set in about 4.46 acres, offering genuine equestrian appeal with a sand school, multiple stables and sizable paddocks. The house retains many character features — exposed beams, sash windows, inglenook fireplace and stripped pine doors — and provides flexible family accommodation across four bedrooms and three reception rooms, including a master with ensuite.
The grounds are a major asset: three principal paddocks bounded by mature Cornish hedge banks, a sand school (35m x 18m), double garage, tack room and additional outbuildings provide ready-made facilities for horse owners or smallholding use. The site is well positioned for access to Truro, Falmouth and both north and south coasts, with bridleways and an indoor arena nearby.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, drainage is private and mains services are untested. The property has an EPC rating E and sits in Council Tax band E. The cob-built walls and older fabric deliver character but will need ongoing maintenance; any buyer should allow for typical upkeep of a period rural home and make their own enquiries about services and rights of way.
For buyers who value privacy, outdoor space and equestrian setup, this cottage offers immediate use and scope to adapt or improve. Those seeking a low-maintenance, modern specification home should note the conventional drawbacks of an older, rural property and factor these into viewing and budgeting decisions.
