Summary - LITTLE ALFARDISWORTHY BRADWORTHY HOLSWORTHY EX22 7RW
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded 1740 cob cottage with generous garden and direct lake access.
Lakeside setting with private deck and fishing on Lower Tamar Lake
Little Alfardisworthy is a rare, fully detached 18th-century cob cottage occupying a large, sheltered plot about 60 yards from Lower Tamar Lake. Thoughtful restoration between 2005–2008 retained period character—exposed beams, open fireplace and inglenook—while adding a sympathetic extension, timber double glazing and a new roof. The south-facing garden, terrace and lakeside deck deliver quiet outdoor living and direct access to a nature reserve and fishing waters.
The house offers comfortable, flexible accommodation: sitting room with French doors to the terrace, kitchen/dining with wood-burning stove and three double bedrooms over two levels. Practical benefits include off-street parking with space for a double garage, two stores/outbuildings and clear potential to add a timber cabin or solar panels (subject to consents).
This is a property for buyers who prize privacy, landscape and heritage. It sits down an unmade, no-through lane with no nearby neighbours and excellent seclusion; local services are a short drive to Kilkhampton and Bude. Note the trade-offs of remoteness: there is no mobile signal, broadband speeds are very slow, and the property is heated predominantly by electric room heaters—factors to consider if you need high connectivity or mains gas heating.
Overall, Little Alfardisworthy suits someone seeking a peaceful, characterful country home or a niche holiday/fishing retreat. The house is newly renovated and ready to enjoy, but its rural location and basic mains services mean it will particularly appeal to buyers who accept some practical compromises in exchange for exceptional privacy and lakeside setting.
