Summary - Chris Cottage, Townlake PL19 8PQ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Three-bed hamlet cottage with paddock, double garage and stunning country views.
Detached granite cottage with exposed beams and stone fireplace
Coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years, Chris Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom detached home set in an idyllic hamlet near Horsebridge. The granite-built property combines original features — exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a feature stove — with practical upgrades such as external wall insulation and double glazing installed after 2002. The house is chain free and sits on a large plot with far-reaching countryside views.
The ground floor offers a cosy living room centred on the stone fireplace and a mid-century kitchen with an oil-fired AGA. French doors lead directly to the generous, well-established garden which opens via a gate to a securely fenced paddock approaching a quarter of an acre — useful for smallholding or equestrian interests. A detached double garage, carport, private driveway and a powered storage cupboard add useful workshop and parking space; one garage bay includes a gardener’s WC and sink.
Upstairs are two good double bedrooms and a single with a walk-in cupboard, plus an enclosed modern shower room. Heating is currently by electric storage heaters; there is a note of an oil-fired AGA in the kitchen while main fuel records show electricity, so buyers should clarify heating arrangements. The property needs some modernisation in places — notably the kitchen and finishes — offering scope to add value while preserving character.
Set in a quiet agricultural community with very low crime and fast broadband, the cottage is well placed between Tavistock and Callington and close to local footpaths and village amenities. There is also an option to rent a nearby three-acre field. This property will suit buyers seeking a peaceful rural family home with outdoor space, character details and potential for sympathetic updating.
