This three-bedroom detached house in Tinhay offers a practical, well-presented base for a small family or a buy-to-let investor. The living room benefits from a wood-burning stove for seasonal warmth, and a modern kitchen/dining area provides useful storage and room for everyday family meals. Mains gas central heating and UPVC double glazing (installed by current owners) make the property comfortable year-round.
Externally there are two enclosed garden areas including a south-facing rear garden that’s low-maintenance and ideal for al fresco dining. Off-road parking for two vehicles and a detached single garage/workshop add useful storage and hobby space. The plot is decent for the house size and the location is quiet, with very low local crime and easy access to Lifton village amenities and the A30.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the overall internal footprint is small (approximately 498 sq ft) and there is a single family bathroom, which may limit suitability for larger families. The conservatory windows were not included in the double-glazing update and may need attention. The property was built in the early 1980s and, while generally well maintained, offers scope for modest cosmetic updating rather than a full modernisation.
Other material facts: flood risk is classed as medium so buyers should factor insurance and potential mitigation costs into budgets. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average; council tax is described as affordable. For buyers seeking a compact, comfortable home near village amenities or a rental opportunity with good access to the A30, this is a practical, straightforward option.
