Summary - Selvi Cottage, Liftondown PL16 0DB
2 bed 2 bath Cottage
Character cottage with extensive paddocks and outbuildings for equestrian or smallholding use.
Two-bedroom stone cottage with period features and multi-fuel stove
Selvi Cottage is a charming two-bedroom stone cottage set within an exceptional plot of about six acres, ideal for someone seeking countryside privacy with genuine smallholding or equestrian potential. The cottage retains period features such as an inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel stove, and offers a separate living and dining room, a modern kitchen and a practical utility with shower and WC. The upstairs layout includes a principal double with built-in wardrobes, a single bedroom and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Electric Climastar heaters and double glazing provide modern comfort, though the property has a modest interior footprint and traditional stone walls without assumed insulation.
The external appeal is the standout: a secure paddock area with vehicular access, a spring-fed pond, panoramic views toward Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, and useful outbuildings including a stone barn with stable, tack room and store, an open-fronted shelter and a double garage. These buildings have water and electric supply and provide immediate facilities for horses or storage, with scope to create an additional internal stable if required.
Practical points are straightforward: the cottage is freehold, set in a very low-crime, remote hamlet location with fast broadband and average mobile signal. There is a recorded easement/right of way for a neighbour across the rear courtyard (noted on title), and the house’s compact rooms will suit owners who prioritise land and outbuildings over large internal living space. Council tax is very low, and nearby Lifton village offers basic amenities and easy road access to Launceston, Okehampton and Tavistock.
This property will suit buyers looking for a character cottage combined with substantial land — ideal for equestrian use, a smallholding or someone seeking a rural retreat with immediate usable outbuildings. It is less well suited to buyers wanting large modern living spaces or a turnkey insulated home without further improvement works.
