Full description
This isn't just a house; it’s a portal to the Cornwall of your dreams. Located in the heart of Rosamunde Pilcher country, this light-filled, 5-bedroom detached home offers a rare blend of rural serenity and central convenience.
The Lifestyle: Imagine waking up to sweeping views of the open countryside and the distant shimmer of St Ives Bay. Whether you're walking the four miles of golden sands from Hayle Estuary to Godrevy Lighthouse just a 15 minute drive away or driving 40 minutes to Newquay Airport which offers direct flights to London and Europe, this home puts the best of the South West at your doorstep.
The Property: Space to Breathe with Four snug double bedrooms plus a child’s room/study. And Modern Comfort with full double-glazing, central heating and Wi-Fi.
Relax in an open-plan lounge (converted from two reception rooms) and a bright kitchen-diner featuring French doors which invite the outside in.
A very solid and practical medium sized detached home of around 110 square metres with a dedicated utility area with access from the kitchen and also to the compact low maintenance rear garden, a downstairs shower room, and an upstairs full family bathroom.
A Former Mine Captain's Cottage built in the mid 1800s, this property had a new roof covering, chimneys and rear extension in 1980 followed by a complete internal renovation in 2008, renewing floors, ceilings, walls, insulation, plumbing, electrics and central heating.
The greenfield directly opposite the property is a designated World Heritage Area, protecting the immediate historic character and outlook of the local area.
The Investment: Why settle for a leasehold apartment in London or St Ives with high monthly maintenance fees when you can own the freehold of a lovely home? Only 0.9 miles from Camborne Railway Station (with direct 5-hour links to London Paddington), and an easy 40 minute drive to Newquay Airport, this property is perfectly positioned for:
*A practical light and airy family residence.
*A lucrative holiday let or AirBnB (taking advantage of the proximity to St Ives, Penzance, Falmouth, Truro and Land's End).
*The "Rent-a-Room" scheme for consistent additional income.
A Stress-Free Move: Having cherished this home for 46 years, the private owner is offering the property chain-free with a high degree of flexibility. Serious, proceedable buyers are welcome to get in touch to discuss a moving timeline that suits both parties. The owner is doing his own marketing using this excellent platform.
Imagine a childhood where the school run is followed by a morning surf, and weekends are spent exploring miles of dramatic coastline and golden beaches. Cornwall is no longer just a holiday destination; it is a thriving hub for families seeking a healthier, slower-paced lifestyle without sacrificing modern connectivity. With good schools, some of the lowest crime rates in the UK, and a community spirit that turns neighbours into lifelong friends, buying a family home here is an investment in your family’s well-being and future. By choosing Cornwall, you aren't just buying a house; you are securing a sanctuary that offers both capital growth potential and a lifestyle that most only experience for one week a year.
