Summary - Whiteford PL17 8PU
11 bed 8 bath Detached
A historic multi-unit Cornish estate with gardens and conversion potential for investors.
11 bedrooms across main house and three separate dwellings offering flexible income potential
Whiteford Estate is a rare, income-capable Cornish property set in just under seven acres of walled gardens, parkland and meadow. The principal five-bedroom cottage and three separate self-contained units (two- and three-bedroom cottages and a one-bedroom bothy) create flexible living arrangements or proven holiday/letting potential. Mature planting, orchard, wildlife pond and historic garden walls give the site strong character and visitor appeal.
The main cottage retains period features including sash windows, flagstone floors, vaulted rooms and cornicing, with south-facing reception rooms and an L-shaped kitchen/dining area opening to a courtyard. Additional spaces include a vaulted drawing room with woodburner, mezzanine library and conservatory. A decommissioned indoor pool building and several useful outbuildings offer scope for conversion to leisure, studio or additional income accommodation (subject to planning).
Practical realities are clear and important for buyers: the estate is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate change of use or development. Services are private — borehole water with filtration, oil-fired heating and four septic tanks — so ongoing maintenance and running costs are higher than mains-fed properties. Granite walls are likely uninsulated; the property is older and will need sympathetic repair and upgrading in places.
For investors or multi-family buyers this is a rare rural package: multiple lettable units, off-street parking and excellent broadband and mobile signal in a peaceful village setting close to Callington and main road links. Buyers should budget for listed-property consent, possible renovation works, ongoing maintenance of historic gardens, and above-average council tax and energy costs due to oil heating and older construction.
