Creek-facing cottage with panoramic tidal creek views
Beamed ceilings and cosy wood-burning stove, strong character
Shaker-style kitchen with solid oak block work surfaces
Modern bathroom; freehold tenure and very cheap council tax
Mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators
Majority UPVC double glazing fitted before 2002
Granite walls likely uninsulated — potential heat loss
Slow broadband and on-street parking only
Tucked into the creekside village of Devoran, this two-bedroom cottage pairs period character with everyday comforts. Exposed beams, a cosy wood-burning stove and attractive creek views give the home instant charm and a strong sense of place for first-time buyers seeking a Cornwall base.
The ground floor offers an open living, dining and kitchen layout with a shaker-style kitchen and a modern bathroom. Mains gas central heating and a boiler-fed radiator system provide reliable warmth, while majority UPVC double glazing helps with draughts.
Practical points to note: the property dates from circa 1860 and the external walls are granite with no known insulation (assumed), so fabric performance is likely below modern standards. Double glazing was mostly installed before 2002 and broadband speeds are reported as slow, which may matter for home working. Parking is on-street only.
Overall this freehold cottage is ideal for buyers who prioritise character, waterside living and a village community. There is clear scope to improve energy efficiency and digital connectivity over time, which could add comfort and value.
