A charming stone former coach house converted into a light, two-bedroom cottage, set within about half an acre and designed for a rural retirement lifestyle. The ground floor benefits from full bi-fold doors linking kitchen/diner and living room to the landscaped garden, creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection and plenty of natural light.
This example is eligible for the Home for Life Lifetime Lease for purchasers aged 60+, which typically reduces the purchase price compared with full market value. The advertised market price is £375,000; a guide Lifetime Lease price is £251,250 (average saving used for illustration). The plan allows buyers to purchase up to 50% of the property value to protect a cash reserve — exact figures depend on age and personal circumstances.
Practical drawbacks are factual: heating is oil-fired with an external boiler, walls are original granite without assumed insulation, and broadband speeds are very slow. The first-floor bedrooms have eaves-enclosed storage and some restricted headroom. The property is listed as having a small overall internal size (about 571 sq ft) but sits on a very large plot with outbuildings and parking.
For downsizers wanting space, privacy and rural access, this property offers a rare combination of a converted character home, roomy gardens, stable/garage and easy reach of Bodmin Moor and the A30. Buyers should factor in potential energy upgrades, limited broadband and the specifics of any Lifetime Lease arrangement when deciding whether to view.
