Brockings is a substantial stone cottage in the heart of North Petherwin, set for family life with four double bedrooms and generous ground-floor living. Period features remain throughout, including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with original clome oven and two wood-burning stoves, giving character and cosy flexibility across seasons. A large sunroom overlooks and opens to the established rear garden, ideal for children’s play or alfresco entertaining.
Recent essential works reduce immediate maintenance worries: the main pitched roof and rear flat roof were replaced in 2023, and the mains gas boiler was renewed. The house is double glazed and presented in good order externally. Planning permission (PA23/06887) already exists to convert the existing garage/workshop into a ground-floor bedroom with shower room—useful for multigenerational living or to create a downstairs suite.
Practicalities to note: the kitchen has a neutral, functional layout with pantry and space for appliances but some cabinetry appears dated and could benefit from updating. Upstairs includes a small low-headroom room with a skylight currently used as a home office—limited headroom restricts uses. The property sits in a small village setting with primary school and local amenities; broader services and more shops are found in Launceston approximately seven miles away.
Overall this detached cottage suits families or couples who value character, space and garden privacy, and who may wish to modernise parts of the interior or take advantage of the granted planning permission to adapt the footprint for current needs.
