Tamar Valley Cottage & Barn offers two detached stone-built homes set in about 0.7 acres of woodland and lawn, midway between Tavistock and Callington. The converted barn is move-in ready and has been a successful holiday let; it provides immediate income or independent accommodation for relatives. The original cottage retains strong period character — arched windows, vaulted beams, wide-plank floors — but requires refurbishment to realise its full potential.
This setup suits a buyer seeking home-and-income, multi-generational living, or a sympathetic renovation project in a secluded rural setting. The plot includes formal gardens, decking, a summer house, and a separate parcel of land across the road used historically for small-scale livestock and grown produce (currently overgrown). Off-street parking and a separate driveway for the barn add practical convenience.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the cottage needs renovation, the property uses private drainage with the soakaway located on the land across the road, and the site sits in a historic mining landscape with a medium flood risk. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average; an electricity substation is located within roughly 150ft up the hill. These factors affect modern living and any rental use, so factor them into planning works and budgets.
For buyers attracted to character, space and rural privacy, this is a rare opportunity to acquire two distinct dwellings with flexible use. The barn’s current layout and modern fittings mean you can occupy or let immediately while carrying out works on the cottage, turning the whole plot into a comfortable long-term family home or an income-generating asset.
