A compact, characterful one-bedroom cottage in Egloshayle, minutes from Wadebridge town and the Camel Trail. Exposed beams, slate floors and a window seat give the sitting room period charm; the vaulted bedroom and ensuite make the layout comfortable for a single occupant or couple. The property is offered freehold and has low-maintenance outdoor space with two-level rear garden and courtyard.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, an EV charging point, and planning permission (PA23/09751) for a single-storey rear extension until 11 March 2027 — useful if you need more living space. On-street parking serves the house and the location provides easy access to local shops, schools and nearby coastline.
Buyers should note the home is small (circa 442 sq ft), with low ceilings in places and electric storage heating as the main heating source. The stone walls are likely uninsulated (original construction), the EPC rating is D, and some modernisation of kitchen and bathroom could improve comfort and efficiency. On-street parking only and limited private external space reflect the compact plot.
This house suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable, character cottage close to town amenities, or investors after a straightforward let in a popular Cornish market town. The granted planning permission offers clear scope to increase space and long-term value, but budget for insulation and heating improvements when assessing costs.
