About this property
Beechwood Cottage is a truly exceptional and highly versatile detached residence, nestled on the fringes of the charming Cornish village of St Ive. Set within approximately 0.65 acres of beautifully maintained and private gardens, this substantial property extends to over 2,400 sq. Ft. And offers seven bedrooms across three distinct living spaces. With a proven track record as a successful holiday rental, full residential use, and scope for multi-generational living, home-and-income potential, or a blended lifestyle, this is a rare find.
The principal residence features a wealth of period charm with exposed beams, dual-aspect windows, wood-burning stoves and a wonderfully homely feel throughout. The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, which opens into a generously proportioned living room featuring front and side aspect windows, a cosy wood-burning stove and feature stone fireplace. A separate dining room provides a beautiful setting for entertaining, again with a wood burner and dual-aspect views.
The main kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with roll-top work surfaces, a composite sink, integrated oven and hob, and space for a dishwasher. There is a utility area for further appliances, and a rear porch provides additional storage and access to the garden. A family bathroom and ground floor cloakroom are also situated on this level, offering convenience for guests and residents alike.
Upstairs, the main house includes three double bedrooms, two of which benefit from their own en-suite shower room. All rooms enjoy countryside views and exposed beams, with generous storage space. These rooms are well appointed for use as principal or guest bedrooms and contribute to the home’s sense of spacious, functional comfort.
Attached to the main home is a fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe, internally accessed but with its own entrance, providing a perfect solution for extended family or rental income. The annexe has a light and airy living room with wood-burning stove and sliding doors to the garden, a fully fitted kitchen with modern units and integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and a well-presented bathroom. This space offers independence with seamless connectivity to the main house.
Situated within the grounds is a detached annexe above a substantial triple garage/workshop. This spacious and entirely self-contained two-bedroom flat includes a fitted kitchen with countryside views, a sun terrace, a comfortable living room with wood-burning stove, two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Below, the triple garage/workshop features power, lighting and two up-and-over doors, offering significant space for vehicles, hobbies, or conversion (subject to the necessary permissions).
The grounds surrounding Beechwood Cottage are a standout feature. A stone-chipped driveway, accessed via electric steel double gates, leads to extensive parking and the detached garage block. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance and enhanced by a mature selection of trees and shrubs, including a delightful orchard that borders the northern edge. The entire plot is private, enclosed, and provides a perfect balance of usable outdoor space, open lawns, and established planting.
In addition, a detached garden office or cabin presents another versatile asset. This building is complete with a fitted kitchen, WC and shower room, living area and a bedroom or office space. It is ideally suited for use as a home office, studio, therapy room or overflow accommodation.
Positioned just a short drive from the amenities of Liskeard, with access to local schools, shops, and mainline rail services, and within easy reach of the A38 and South Cornwall’s stunning coastline, Beechwood Cottage offers the perfect blend of rural peace and modern convenience.
This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly flexible and characterful Cornish home. Whether you’re looking for a lifestyle change, a blended family residence, or a home with income, Beechwood Cottage ticks every box.
