Charming period cottage with garden, parking and no onward chain.
Two bedrooms in a 400-year-old character cottage
Barn Cottage is a charming two-bedroom Cornish cottage set in a peaceful rural hamlet 0.5 miles from Camelford. The property retains original character — exposed beams, stone floors and a wood burner — and comes to market chain free, making it realistic for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The cottage sits on a small, enclosed plot with a patio and lawn, plus off-street parking for one vehicle. Practical modern comforts include double glazing and fibre-to-the-premises broadband, while the wood burner and oil-fired central heating provide multiple heating options.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, the property has a low EPC (E) and uses oil-fired heating which can be costly. Ceiling heights are generally low and the plot and living spaces are modest in scale — improvements and energy upgrades are likely required to reach modern standards.
Overall, this attractive period cottage is well placed for country life and coastal access. It suits a buyer seeking character with scope to improve energy performance and internal layout, or an investor wanting a let-ready rural cottage with strong broadband and good local amenities.
