A classic Cornish stone cottage set on the edge of Blisland, offering a peaceful, semi-rural setting and a generous south-facing front garden. The house retains many period features — exposed stone, a stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove — and has two reception rooms plus two double bedrooms, which together create the feel of a comfortable rural home.
The property is dated and offered as a probate sale, so it would benefit from a programme of refurbishment: the walls are likely uninsulated, windows are secondary glazed, and the EPC is low (F). Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; services beyond mains electricity are not confirmed. The former garage is an open-fronted block-built structure that could be rebuilt or cleared to form off-road parking, subject to consents.
For buyers wanting a character cottage they can personalise, this home has clear potential. The layout allows for modernising the kitchen and bathroom and improving insulation and heating to raise comfort and running costs. The location — under half a mile from Blisland village green and amenities, with Bodmin and Wadebridge within eight miles — will suit those seeking village life with easy access to larger towns.
Important factual points: this is a probate sale so vendors have limited knowledge of the property; buyers should commission surveys and checks. Broadband speeds are slow, mobile reception is average, and the local area shows higher deprivation indices. The plot and setting are attractive, but the house requires investment to bring it up to modern standards.
