Set within around an acre of mature, wooded grounds, Godolphin Cottage is a spacious Grade II listed stone home that offers significant family living and countryside privacy. The house retains strong period character — exposed granite walls, original fireplaces and high ceilings — and includes a self-contained annexe arrangement with separate boilers and meters, ideal for intergenerational living or rental income. The layout provides flexible reception space, multiple kitchens and four double bedrooms across two main wings.
The property requires comprehensive updating and renovation throughout: cosmetic and systems work is needed, and the EPC has been recorded as low (F). The listing status will add planning constraints and may complicate changes; central heating runs on LPG and the walls are likely uninsulated, so energy upgrades will be necessary. There is also a recorded medium flood risk for the area to factor into refurbishment plans and insurance costs.
Practical limitations are clear: there is no mobile signal and broadband speeds are slow, affecting those who work from home without added connectivity investment. However, crime is very low, local primary schools are well regarded, and the hamlet setting provides a secluded, safe environment for children and pets. For a buyer prepared to restore and modernise a distinctive historic home, this cottage offers rare scale, flexibility and private grounds in a peaceful Cornish setting.
Purchasers should budget for specialist listed-building consent where required and for fabric improvements (insulation, wiring, heating and drainage). The property’s separate meters and dual boilers present genuine potential for an annexe or dual-occupation setup once modernisation is complete.
