Summary - Chumbles Cottage, St Just in Roseland TR2 5HY
4 bed 3 bath Cottage
Large period cottage with private mature gardens and separate one‑bed annexe close to the creek.
Period cottage with many original features and large inglenook fireplace
Chumbles Cottage is a handsome period home in the heart of St Just in Roseland, set within large, sheltered mature gardens that offer privacy and a sunny aspect. The main cottage retains many historic details — exposed beams, a substantial inglenook with clome oven and a characterful kitchen with an oil-fired Aga — arranged over multiple levels to give comfortable family living. The property is freehold and sits a short walk from the creek and village amenities, with easy road and ferry links to St Mawes, Falmouth and Truro.
A major practical benefit is the self-contained one-bedroom annexe/holiday let with its own access, garden and meter. The annexe has been used successfully as a holiday let and would suit rental income, multi-generational living or conversion back into the main house to create a single larger residence. There is off-street parking, a single garage with light and power, and useful outbuildings for storage and garden equipment.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points. Heating in the main cottage is via an oil-fired boiler and the annexe uses electric heaters; oil fuel will attract running costs and regular servicing. The property has double glazing, but the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated and the EPC is currently grade E. Drainage is private. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the garage is relatively narrow.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to buy a substantial period cottage with versatile accommodation and great garden privacy in a highly sought-after Roseland village. It will particularly appeal to families seeking character and space, buyers wanting a holiday-let income stream, or those prepared to invest in energy improvements to enhance comfort and EPC rating.
