Set on a very large, private plot in the hamlet of Buryas Bridge, this three-bedroom granite cottage offers classic Cornish character and strong future potential. The house is chain free and will be sold at auction on 18th September 2025 (Lot 126), making it suitable for buyers seeking a renovation project or retirement pied-à-terre within easy reach of Penzance.
The property benefits from an oil-fired boiler with radiators and a large woodburner, plus over 50 mature boundary trees providing a free fuel source. The sunroom brings natural light and direct garden access, and double glazing is fitted (installation date unknown). With very low local crime and excellent mobile signal, the location delivers peace, privacy and connectivity for phone use.
Practical drawbacks are material: the granite walls are assumed uninsulated, broadband speeds are very slow, and there is only one bathroom. The cottage dates from before 1900 and will require targeted updating to improve energy efficiency and modern comforts. Buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
This home will appeal to downsizers or retirees looking for a secluded rural setting with character and scope to personalise, or to buyers wanting a small renovation in a desirable Cornish location close to Penzance and local walking country.
