Situation - This charming cottage is located in Gulworthy on the Devon/Cornwall border, overlooking the river Tamar and the historic, 16th-century Gunnislake Bridge. Set amongst the lush woodland of the Tamar Valley National Landscape (formerly AONB), there are numerous woodland walks and trails available from the doorstep and in close proximity. Gulworthy also forms part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area offers a very quaint and peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle in some extremely picturesque, verdant surroundings which are home to an abundance of wildlife.

A short distance away, in Gunnislake, there are local amenities including an Asda mini-market and fuel station, post office, doctor's surgery and local Pub, with the village additionally benefiting from its own railway station, providing a direct, 25-minute service to Plymouth. Tavistock, 4 miles to the east, is a thriving market town in West Devon, rich in history and tradition dating to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. The maritime city of Plymouth is located around 20 miles to the south.

Description - This charming, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom barn conversion was converted circa 2017 and has an attractive aesthetic of stone and masonry, finished internally with character elements including exposed stone walls, exposed timbers, ledged and braced doors, and timber flooring. The ground floor accommodation includes a warm and comfortable sitting room centered around a log-burning stove, a bright, vaulted kitchen/dining room, and a well-appointed bathroom with a rain-style shower over the bath. On the first floor are two double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and fitted wardrobes, plus a wet room.

Whilst it has full residential consent, the barn is currently holiday let through Sykes, with good success. In 2024, the property has been rated by them as being in the top 4% for income, of similar properties in the area. An occupancy rate of 72% has been achieved (as of mid-November). The barn is rated as 4 stars so greater income potential could be possible with an improved rating. Further details of the income can be supplied to interested parties following a viewing.

Adjacent to the barn is a detached 3-bedroom cottage with unrestricted residential consent, which is also owned by our clients and available for purchase (advertised under a separate listing with a Guide Price of £275,000). Our clients would consider selling the two properties individually or as a pair in a single transaction. Please contact us for further details. Both properties are available with no onward chain.

Outside - The property sits within grounds extending to over half an acre. The barn is served by its own enclosed garden which has been used by the holiday letting guests, including a raised decking and hot tub. The hugely pretty, woodland garden beyond contains a timber summerhouse in need of attention and improvement, set on a large timber deck. To the front of the barn is a sizeable gated drive with lockable bike and machinery stores, where there is vehicular access into the woodland.

Services - Mains water, gas and electricity are connected. Private drainage via septic tank (condition and compliance with current regulations unknown). Superfast broadband is available. Limited mobile voice/data services are available with Three, O2 and Vodafone (Source: Ofcom's online service checker). Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.

Agent's Notes - 1. The barn's Rateable Value is £2,400 (small business rate relief may apply).
2. The property is located in an area well-known for its historic metalliferous mining activity. No mine workings are known to exist within the property's boundaries.
