1 bed detached house for sale

Treglasta, Launceston, Cornwall PL15

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a unique residential property set within approximately half an acre of its own grounds, located in a peaceful yet accessible rural hamlet in North Cornwall.

The property comprises a detached timber-built one-bedroom cabin, understood to have residential use, positioned centrally within the plot and enjoying a good degree of privacy. The cabin offers simple but functional accommodation and presents an appealing option for those seeking a rural retreat, lifestyle purchase or alternative living arrangement. Due to the nature of the construction, the property is offered to cash buyers only.

In addition to the cabin, the property benefits from a substantial concrete block-built garage/workshop, fitted with an electric rolling door, making it ideal for vehicle storage, hobbies, business use or further adaptation (subject to any necessary consents). There is ample off-road parking, easily accommodating multiple vehicles, caravans or trailers.

The generous plot offers significant scope and versatility, with large areas of usable outdoor space suitable for gardens, amenity use or potential future development. Buyers may wish to explore the possibility of replacing or extending the existing dwelling or undertaking further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The size and layout of the plot provide genuine long-term potential, making this an especially attractive proposition for developers, investors or owner-occupiers with vision.

Situated in the small hamlet of Treglasta, the property enjoys a tranquil countryside setting while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and transport links. The surrounding area offers a blend of open rural views, neighbouring properties and a strong sense of privacy without isolation. The nearby village of Hallworthy provides a public house, while the stunning North Cornish Coast - including Bude, Tintagel and Boscastle - is easily accessible. Both Bude and Launceston offer a wide range of facilities, with the A30 providing excellent connectivity across Cornwall and Devon.

Overall, this is a truly individual property offering lifestyle appeal, practical outbuildings, generous land and future potential - a real gem rarely available on the open market.

Cash buyers only. Early viewing strongly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, space and opportunity on offer.

The building was originally constructed as an annex to the owner’s primary residence, The Cowshed, and was built in accordance with Building Regulations at that time. Building Regulations sign-off was not pursued as a separate dwelling because the structure was not intended to be an independent residential unit.
The Cabin was completed prior to 1st October 2023, which means it falls under the old regulations where the council could only seek enforcement within 12 months. The Cabin is fully compliant with electrical ecir and gas regulations, and has been signed off in accordance with building regulations.
When the Cowshed was sold in October 2023, the title was divided, resulting in The Cabin becoming a standalone plot. Only at this point did the owner apply for, and subsequently obtain, retrospective full planning permission for use as an independent dwelling (granted 24 April 2024).
