Set within around three quarters of an acre of tiered bluebell woodland, this newly renovated three-bedroom granite cottage combines period character with practical modern living. The ground floor presents a refitted kitchen/dining room and a sitting room, both with log burners, while upstairs offers three double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. A detached timber tiny home and a stone-built workshop add flexible space for guests, hobbies or home business use.
The site is unusually generous for the area and includes a cleared quarry/borrow pit and extensive woodland paths. Off-road parking is provided behind double gates and a running stream borders part of the front garden. The location in the hamlet of Carthew gives easy access to St Austell, the A30 and local country trails — appealing to families and those seeking rural tranquillity with commuter links.
Important practical points: the property is listed, which will affect permitted works and can complicate alterations; the tiny home is restricted from holiday-let use; main heating runs from an LPG boiler which can be more costly than mains gas; there is a medium flood risk to note. The quarry area and workshop provide excellent scope for projects but will need considered maintenance and safe use planning.
This is a distinctive cottage for buyers who value character, outdoor space and adaptable outbuildings. Viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the garden scale and the versatile ancillary accommodation, and to assess how the listing status and site-specific factors (flood risk, LPG supply, quarry area) fit your plans.
