Set high above the Tamar Valley, Butterfly Cottage is a charming Grade II listed granite home offering true cottage character and far-reaching rural views. The current owners have renovated key elements while retaining period features: flagstone hallway, deep-set sash window seats and a 7kW log burner in the lounge. Two double bedrooms and a generous kitchen/diner suit a small family or couple looking for countryside living.
Outside, the landscaped garden and paved seating areas make the most of the outlook, while three stone outbuildings provide useful storage plus a utility room and log store. Practical extras include mains gas central heating, fast broadband, off-street parking and chain-free sale for a quicker move.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — alterations will be restricted and may require consent, which can complicate extensions or insulation work. The original granite walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. Although recently renovated, the installation date of the double glazing is unknown and further energy upgrades could be limited by listing constraints.
In summary, this is a characterful, detached cottage with strong countryside appeal, ready to occupy but with planning and conservation considerations for anyone wanting to modernise or extend.
