Characterful central cottage with garden and clear renovation potential.
Double-fronted two-bedroom Victorian cottage with period stone walls
Set on historic Castle Street in central Bodmin, this double-fronted two-bedroom cottage offers clear potential for someone prepared to update and personalise. The house retains period stone walls and character features while providing a practical living/dining layout and a private garden that catches the morning sun.
The property requires renovation to unlock its value — the EPC is D, the property is recorded as having electric storage heaters and granite walls likely lacking insulation, and some roof and damp attention may be needed. The house is compact (about 731 sq ft) with a very small plot, so upgrades should focus on efficiency and layout improvement rather than extension.
For investors, the location close to shops, public transport and local amenities supports letting potential and the area’s very cheap council tax helps running costs. For owner-occupiers, this is an affordable entry into a period cottage in a central town setting, but buyers should budget for modernisation work and energy-efficiency improvements.
Note the local context: the surrounding area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime rates; buyers should consider this when assessing long-term plans and rental prospects. Overall, this is a characterful property with scope for uplift through renovation and energy upgrades.
