Colvase Farmhouse is a substantial, character-filled detached home set in an elevated valley with far-reaching countryside views. The house offers flexible living across three reception rooms and four bedrooms, combining original features — slate flagstone floors, exposed beams, fireplaces and pitch pine doors — with later extensions and a conservatory that frames the landscape.
The property sits on about 5.32 acres of paddocks, woodland and a boundary stream, including level terraces for outdoor entertaining and a double carport with store and loft. Practical services include oil-fired central heating, two woodburning stoves, a private borehole water supply and septic tank drainage — all useful in a truly rural setting but requiring routine upkeep.
Important practical points: the house is stone-built and likely uninsulated in areas, has an EPC rating of F37 and relies on oil heating. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home-working. The land and large gardens offer scope for grazing, smallholding or sympathetic landscaping, but will need ongoing management given the plot size.
Sold with no onward chain, Colvase suits a family or countryside buyer seeking space, character and privacy close to Widegates village and within easy reach of Looe and the coast. Buyers should factor in potential energy and service upgrades, and the maintenance obligations that come with extensive grounds and private water/drainage systems.
