This three-bedroom detached home in Tinhay offers a compact, newly renovated layout suited to those seeking low-maintenance countryside living.

The interior improvements include a modern kitchen, replacement double glazed windows and mains gas central heating with a wood-burning stove in the living room.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease option is aimed at buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £184,250 (typical saving c.33% against the market price of £275,000). The plan lets purchasers buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital; the exact price varies with age and circumstances. The property can also be bought at full market value by any buyer.
Practical points: the house is compact at about 498 sq ft across three bedrooms and one bathroom, so rooms are modestly sized. Parking for two cars and a detached garage/workshop are included; the enclosed south-facing garden is low-maintenance and private. Note the property sits in a remoter agricultural area with average services (fast broadband, average mobile signal) and carries a medium flood risk.
Buyers should verify tenure/lease details before committing, as tenure is listed as unknown. While the home has been updated recently and is well-presented, the small overall footprint and single bathroom may limit suitability for some families, though it will appeal to downsizers and retirees seeking a manageable rural home.
