Compact character cottage, chain-free and close to train links.
Chain free two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in town centre
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached cottage set within walking distance of Liskeard town centre and the train station — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a central, chain-free purchase. The ground floor offers an open-plan fitted kitchen/dining area that flows into a cosy lounge with a working woodburner and exposed beams, giving immediate period character and warmth.
The property measures about 582 sq ft and sits on a small plot with versatile outside space which can be used as a courtyard garden or off-street parking. The house is granite-built (pre-1900) with double glazing and benefits from a mix of heating sources; a woodburner in the lounge and reported gas central heating, though some listings also note electric room heaters. Council tax is described as very cheap and flood risk is low.
Important negatives to note: the home is small with low ceilings in places and only one shower room, so storage and space are limited. The wider area shows higher crime levels and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand. The EPC rating is E and the property will suit buyers prepared to accept modest energy performance and possible future improvement works.
This cottage is best for a buyer prioritising central convenience, period character and a low-entry price, and who is comfortable living in a compact, town-centre home that may benefit from targeted updates. Viewing is recommended to judge space, layout and the outside area’s suitability as either parking or a small garden.
