This traditional two-storey cottage in Holmbush offers a cosy, characterful home for a first-time buyer or small family looking for village life in Cornwall. Exposed stone, wooden beams and a wood burner create a warm, rustic living space, while double glazing (fitted post-2002) helps retain heat. The property sits in a peaceful semi-rural lane with private parking and a mature cottage garden with patio and planted borders — a quiet outlook across trees and countryside. Council tax is described as low and there is no flood risk.
The interior is compact (approximately 556 sq ft) and efficiently laid out over two storeys with an open reception/dining area, separate kitchen, ground-floor bedroom/study, bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms. The footprint and modest room sizes suit first-time buyers, small families or investors seeking a manageable rental property. Built before 1900 of traditional granite/whinstone walls, the cottage has period charm but will benefit from targeted modernisation to maximise comfort and value.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and radiators (oil not community supply), the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, and broadband speeds are slow. Ceiling heights are average to low in parts and the overall internal area is small, which limits flexibility without extension subject to planning. These are straightforward issues for buyers prepared to invest in insulation, heating upgrades and internal refurbishment.
Overall, this is a character cottage in a very low-crime, village setting with good local schools and a tranquil rural outlook. It offers immediate move-in potential for those who value charm and location, plus clear scope for upgrading to increase comfort and future value.
