6 bed cottage for sale

Buller Hill, Redruth TR16

This presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a country property set in approximately two and a half acres of grounds with beautiful panoramic views. Offering very versatile and adaptable accommodation, there are endless possibilities and the main accommodation includes four bedrooms, there is a self contained annexe, a self contained holiday cottage, a gymnasium, a double and single garage, outbuildings and a static caravan.

Nestled amidst rolling countryside, this very impressive and welcoming country residence, formerly the site of 7 cottages, offers exceptional versatility, scope for multi-generational living and opportunities for an income stream in the shape of holiday lets. The main residence is accompanied by a self-contained annexe, a self-contained holiday cottage, a gymnasium and a further work room that could be re-purposed as a home office, studio or as a fifth bedroom. Furthermore, there is a separate standalone work room that again could be re-purposed into an office if so required. The property comes with significant outdoor space being set in some two and a half acres and enjoying panoramic views across rural landscapes whilst remaining within easy reach of the local town and accessible to many other surrounding areas including beaches on both the north and south coasts of Cornwall.

Somewhat self sufficient with both solar panels and a private water supply, the main part of the residence combines traditional character with very modern comfort and features a spacious, modern kitchen with open access to the dining area, an ideal space for family gatherings and socialising. Thanks to much improvement and renovation from the current vendors, there are traditional features such as exposed beams coupled with contemporary finishes, offering a particularly warm yet refined living environment.

A charming lounge that overlooks the rear patio area has an open staircase leading to the first floor where four bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found. As you would expect with a property of this scale, the dual aspect master bedroom offers significant space with far reaching views over open countryside, towards Carn Brea and the north coast. The second bedroom offers views towards the south and over the substantial patio area and garden beyond. The third and fourth bedrooms both enjoy the same views over the rear garden, aspect and land within the property boundary. The fourth bedroom also benefits from a built-in wardrobe. Complementing the four bedrooms is a quite stunning, family bathroom, renovated to a very high standard by the current vendors. The floor and wall tiles are all porcelain with aqua board ceiling tiles. An extra large and deep bath tub is complemented by a very modern walk-in double shower fitted with a Mira Rebate matt black thermostatic shower.

To the front of the principal home, the self-contained annexe provides independent accommodation, perfect for extended family, guests, or as a potential further holiday let subject to the appropriate permissions. In its current format, there is a sitting room and part kitchenette, a shower room and, to the first floor, a mezzanine double bedroom.

Adjoining the main residence is a two storey building, currently being used as a gymnasium by the vendors but offering scope for re-purpose.

A short stroll further, but part of the same overall building, is a self-contained cottage which offers further flexibility, ideal as a holiday let, or as additional family accommodation. Retaining the rustic charm of the main residence with its exposed timbers, the open plan living and well-equipped kitchen area has an lpg flame effect fire set in a traditional fireplace, a mezzanine double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, a good sized bathroom and of course, the countryside outlook of the rest of the estate. We understand from the vendor that this holiday let generates an annual turnover in the region of £14,000.

Separate from the main building is a further standalone outbuilding which is of a good size and includes all of the main services including water, power, lighting, telephone point and an lpg supply. Also positioned within the grounds, a three bedroomed static caravan provides additional living or guest accommodation; ideal for visiting family, short-term stays, or for use as a home office or studio (subject to permissions) in this inspiring setting, with uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.

Other buildings include a standalone double garage with electric roller door and a further standalone single garage.

Externally, there is a layby to the immediate front which leads to a substantial gravelled driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles including those belonging to residents using the holiday cottage.

Stretching out and around the main residence and the outbuildings, the garden extends into a broad, wraparound expanse, more akin to a surrounding field than a conventional domestic garden and certainly offering endless possibilities. There is a delightful, raised patio area space, ideal for outdoor entertaining and has the bonus of being south facing.

Offering comfort, character, and endless possibilities, this unique estate is perfectly suited for those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle with space for family, guests, and potential income opportunities, all set against fine scenery on substantial grounds of this rural property,

In terms of location, Redruth town centre can be reached in a matter of minutes whilst the A30 is within some ten minutes by car. The property is also ideally located to access both the north and south coasts of Cornwall.
