5 bed cottage for sale

Kehelland, Camborne TR14

Beautifully restored 19th-century cottage in cornwall with stunning orangery, self-contained annexe, and over two acres of idyllic riverside gardens

The Property

Mill Cottage is a beautifully extended and meticulously renovated period home, originally two 19th-century mining cottages. Set in just over two acres of peaceful riverside grounds along the Red River, the property lies in the tranquil hamlet of Menadarva, near Kehelland, and is close to the South West Coast Path and the golden beaches of Godrevy and Gwithian.
The current owner has sympathetically modernised the home to a high standard, blending character features with elegant finishes. A standout feature is the striking David Salisbury orangery, completed in 2023.

The wide front door opens into a welcoming reception hall with beamed ceilings, a non-working fireplace, and under-stairs storage. Two charming reception rooms overlook the front lawn, each with wooden flooring and exposed beams. The right-hand room, used as a dining space, includes a log burner; the left-hand reception opens out to the garden through large east-facing windows.

Steps from the hall lead up to the orangery and kitchen—both featuring Italian marble floors with underfloor heating. The orangery is bathed in light via bifold doors, French doors, and rooflights, seamlessly connecting to the garden.

The spacious “L”-shaped kitchen features grey shaker cabinetry, granite worktops, a walk-in larder, electric Aga, integrated dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge freezer. A separate utility room with WC, sink, and laundry space leads to the rear courtyard.
Upstairs, a Velux window and chandelier light the landing. The principal bedroom is a spacious, dual-aspect retreat with a vaulted ceiling, exposed a-frame beams, and original polished floorboards. Its en suite boasts a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, twin basins, and WC.

Three further bedrooms include a single overlooking the front garden, a large double with dressing room and en suite, and a vaulted double bedroom with en suite shower room and Velux window.

Outside

The beautifully landscaped gardens of Mill Cottage offer a peaceful retreat and a haven for wildlife, bordered to the north by the Red River and surrounding woodland where kingfishers, deer, and otters are frequently seen. Meandering paths wind through the trees, providing tranquil spots for exploration.

At the front of the property, a large manicured lawn features a long, water-filled leat complete with a gentle waterfall and pump. To the rear, an upper meadow overlooks surrounding farmland, while a spacious patio to the side benefits from all-day sunshine, ideal for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining.
The property includes a triple garage equipped with electric up-and-over doors, side access, power, water, and plumbing for a washing machine. An EV charging point is conveniently located on the exterior wall. From the upper meadow, steps lead up to the annexe’s south-facing decked seating area, offering expansive views over the fields.

The self-contained annexe above the garage provides private accommodation with its own entrance. It features a sunny south-facing deck opening into an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space with engineered oak flooring and vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is fitted with grey gloss units, a bottled gas hob, integrated oven, slimline dishwasher, and under-counter fridge. The double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with bath, shower, and WC. Heating throughout is provided by bottled gas central heating.
