Description

A truly remarkable property set within an idyllic and highly private setting, extending to approximately 5.5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, including two stunning lakes.

Approached via a private gated driveway, Cotton Springs offers a rare combination of seclusion, lifestyle and versatility, creating a unique opportunity in one of Cornwall’s most enchanting locations.

The main house is a charming 3/4 bedroom detached home, thoughtfully and beautifully refurbished throughout by the current owner. The accommodation is both stylish and practical, beginning with an attractive entrance hallway with fitted storage and a ground floor shower room. The kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with shaker-style units, stone worktops, a Belfast sink, tiled flooring and a useful breakfast bar area, with patio doors opening onto a delightful seating space.

A well-proportioned living room with a charming wood-burning stove provides a cosy yet elegant space, while a separate dining room flows seamlessly into a covered outdoor kitchen area, ideal for entertaining. A further versatile reception room offers flexibility as a home office, playroom or fourth bedroom.

To the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a beautifully finished modern family bathroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a variety of seating areas, including a decked terrace and tranquil spaces from which to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. The gardens extend to approximately 5.5 acres, incorporating two picturesque lakes, offering a truly peaceful and private environment.

In addition to the main house, the property benefits from a stunning one-bedroom lodge, currently operating as a successful holiday let. Finished to a high standard, the lodge features an open-plan living/kitchen space with wood-burning stove, a double bedroom and en-suite shower room, along with its own private seating area, covered BBQ space and wood-fired hot tub.

There is also a charming shepherd’s hut, further enhancing the property’s lifestyle and income potential.

A detached garage with mezzanine level, including a shower room and kitchenette, offers scope to be reinstated as a small annexe if required. Ample parking is available for multiple vehicles.

Cotton Springs represents an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a unique, beautifully maintained property in a truly magical setting.
