Two bedrooms plus attic room previously used as a bedroom
Requires renovation and modernization throughout (cosmetic and upgrades)

This stone-fronted mid-terrace cottage is offered chain-free and suits buyers looking for a period home to update or a rental/investment with clear uplift potential. The house provides flexible living across ground, first and attic floors: lounge/diner, separate kitchen/diner, two main bedrooms plus an attic room previously used as a bedroom. Mains gas central heating and double glazing are in place, while the granite exterior gives authentic period character.
The property requires cosmetic updating and some renovation to maximise its potential; walls are original granite and likely have no cavity insulation. The layout and room sizes are practical for modern living and working from home but expect programmatic works rather than a move-in-finish — kitchens and bathrooms will benefit from modernization. Council tax is very low and the freehold tenure is straightforward.
Outside, there is off-street parking to the front and an enclosed, mainly lawned rear garden with mature hedging offering privacy. The location is convenient for the A30, local shops in Redruth and Camborne, and recreational attractions: Carn Brea mineral tramways, nearby surfing beaches and coastal footpaths. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, which helps remote-working arrangements.
Be candid about the negatives: the area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average, and the property will need renovation works and potential insulation improvements. For buyers seeking a character home they can improve, or an investor seeking a refurb opportunity with parking and outdoor space, this cottage provides a solid canvas in a well-connected part of Cornwall.
