Set within the quiet rural enclave of St Erth Praze, this five-bedroom detached house offers spacious, traditional living across nearly 2,000 sq ft and sits on a very large plot with far-reaching countryside views. Period granite walls, exposed beams and a large rustic living room with fireplace give the home immediate character. Solar panels and double glazing (installed post-2002) are in place, and broadband and mobile signal are strong for a rural setting.
This property is being marketed with a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price for purchasers aged 60+; typical savings compared with full market value are significant, depending on age and chosen share of ownership. The Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £281,500 (market value £420,000); individual quotes will vary and legal/tenure checks are essential. The house is suitable as a retirement home and offers potential to buy up to a 50% share to protect future value.
Buyers should be aware this is an older property (constructed before 1900) with traditional uninsulated granite or whinstone walls, and the building will benefit from improvements to insulation and modern energy efficiency. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and there is only one bathroom for five bedrooms — a practical constraint unless altered. Tenure details are not confirmed; solicitors must verify ownership and any lease arrangements.
For a retiree seeking roomy, characterful accommodation in a peaceful agricultural community, this house delivers privacy, sizable grounds and scope for sympathetic upgrading. The home suits those prepared to invest in insulation, modernisation and possible reconfiguration to optimise comfort and long-term running costs.
