This charming two-bedroom cottage in Lifton blends traditional character with village convenience. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with a log burner and period stone exterior give the house immediate cottage appeal. The layout is compact but practical: an open living/dining room, kitchen overlooking the rear garden and two double bedrooms upstairs.
The mature front and rear cottage gardens are a standout — sheltered patios, flower beds and a stone shed create private outdoor rooms with a peaceful view over St Mary’s churchyard. The property sits on a quiet lane close to local shops, pub and primary school, with larger towns and the A30 accessible for commuting.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation and modernisation, with assumed uninsulated granite walls and electric storage heaters in place. Low ceilings and generally small rooms will limit major remodelling without significant work. The tenure is freehold and there is no flood risk; council tax banding is modest.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a character cottage to personalise, this offers good scope: sympathetic upgrades, insulation and heating improvements would substantially increase comfort and value. For those seeking a move-in-perfect home, the refurbishment requirements should be factored into budget and timeline.
