Summary - CLIFTON FARMHOUSE, ROAD FROM NORTH WEST OF NORTH WAYTON FARM TO COOMBE LANE PL12 6QG
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare tidal frontage with huge garden and garage close to boating facilities.
Private 35' quay with direct tidal river access (usable around high tide)
Quay Cottage is a rare riverside detached home set within the Tamar Valley AONB, offering dramatic tidal views and a private 35' quay with direct access to the River Tamar. The house extends to about 1,726 sq ft across three principal floors, with a mix of reception rooms including a conservatory, a sitting room with a wood burner, a second living/dining room and flexible spaces such as an art room and home office. The principal bedroom includes a small balcony overlooking the water and a third bedroom with exposed oak beams sits on the second floor.
The plot is a standout feature: huge landscaped gardens, a greenhouse, pond, level lawns and a stone-built garage/workshop with adjoining parking and courtyard. The quay and nearby slipway are highly attractive for boating enthusiasts; the quay is usable for a few hours each side of high tide and offers direct launching and river access. Broadband ultrafast is available and the immediate area is peaceful with very low crime.
The cottage is traditional and has been well cared for, but it shows its age in places and will suit someone prepared to maintain period fabric. Heating is primarily electric and room heaters with an oil-fired Rayburn serving hot water; glazing is mixed sash with partial double glazing. Walls are original granite with little or no insulation assumed. The EPC rating is F and the property uses private drainage; council tax is above average. There is a section of adjacent land in separate ownership which may be available by licence to allow additional slipway access and storage, but this is not included in the freehold.
For buyers who value riverside living and character, Quay Cottage presents a rare opportunity to secure direct tidal frontage within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It will particularly suit owners seeking a peaceful boating base, a family wanting a rural retreat, or a holiday-let investor prepared to carry out energy and cosmetic improvements.
