Compact period cottage with countryside views and upgrade potential, ideal for first-time buyers..
Freehold two-bedroom terraced cottage, approx. 560 sq ft
This compact two-bedroom terraced cottage brings genuine countryside character to a quiet hamlet near Summercourt. Exposed stone walls, low ceilings and exposed beams create a cosy, characterful interior centred around a living room with a log burner. The kitchen-diner opens to uninterrupted rural views and a small private garden — a peaceful spot for morning coffee or container gardening.
The property is best suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a character home with scope to improve. The house is small (approximately 560 sq ft) and dates from before 1900; the granite walls are assumed uninsulated and heating is by electric storage heaters, so energy performance will be modest. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, fast broadband and very low council tax (Band A). Nearby Summercourt offers an outstanding primary school, local shop and good road links to Newquay and the A30. Be aware the area records above-average crime and the cottage will benefit from targeted maintenance or upgrading to improve comfort and running costs.
Overall, this is a character-rich starter home in a tranquil rural setting with clear potential — ideal for buyers prepared to modernise heating, insulation and internal finishes to unlock long-term comfort and value.
