Characterful single-level home on a large plot, ideal for retired buyers.
Three-bedroom detached single-storey bungalow, c.1,160 sq ft
Godolphin Cottage is a single-storey, three-bedroom detached bungalow set in a large plot in rural Fraddam, Hayle. The property’s stone cottage exterior, exposed beams and vaulted living room ceiling give it strong character and countryside charm. The layout is traditional and practical, with an average overall size of about 1,160 sq ft and two bathrooms, making it suitable for comfortable retirement living.
This home is offered through a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60 and over, resulting in a discounted purchase price (example guide price £284,750, market value £425,000). Customers can buy up to a 50% share to protect future value; actual cost depends on age and circumstances. The property is presented as suitable for retirement and is marketed as a shared-ownership opportunity under that plan.
Practical considerations include very slow broadband speeds and average mobile signal — common in remoter Cornish communities — which may affect remote working or streaming. The interior has rustic finishes and a traditional layout that will suit buyers who value character; however, those seeking a fully modernised specification or high-tech connectivity should expect potential upgrades. Tenure details should be verified by your solicitor before purchase.
Overall, this bungalow will appeal to older buyers seeking a characterful, single-level home in a peaceful village setting with a large garden and countryside feel. The Home for Life option makes it particularly interesting for qualifying purchasers wanting lower upfront cost and a way to safeguard future value.
