Historic farmhouse with cottage, barns and Bodmin Moor views — sold at auction, chain free..
No onward chain; offered for sale at auction
Set in a peaceful Cornish hamlet near Rilla Mill, Caradon House is a handsome 1870 stone farmhouse with a newly renovated one‑bed cottage and useful stone outbuildings. The main house retains period features—flagstone floors, granite fireplaces and stained glass—alongside recent updating, offering comfortable family living across generous rooms and elevated views toward Bodmin Moor.
The property sits in about 0.297 acres with off‑street parking, a walled front garden and a concrete yard that provides parking for several vehicles. Two traditional stone and slate barns offer clear scope for conversion subject to planning (one nearby conversion has approval and there is a separate permission in principle for new build in the vicinity). The detached Woodman’s Cottage is presented in excellent decorative order and works well as ancillary accommodation or holiday let potential.
Buyers should note several important practical points: both dwellings currently carry EPC ratings of F, the heating is oil‑fired with an oil boiler and Rayburn, drainage is private and shared with one other property, and broadband speeds are very slow locally. The house is being sold at auction and is offered chain free, which will suit buyers comfortable with a faster, fixed timetable.
For families wanting rural space and independent guest or rental accommodation, or for purchasers seeking a small redevelopment project using the existing barns, this settlement‑edge property combines period charm with clear potential. Interested parties should factor in energy performance, shared drainage responsibilities and the auction timetable when considering a viewing.
