A character property known as Tanglewood Cottage is on the market in Cornwall for £485,000.

This two-bedroom detached cottage in Callestick, Truro, sits on nearly an acre of land and has planning permission to knock down the existing house for a new self build.

The plot is ideal for those wanting a private living and potential hobby farmers and is one of the many self build opportunities that can be found on Homebuilding & Renovating's sister site, Plotfinder.net

Plans approved for four-bedroom house

Planning permission has been granted on the building plot for the current two-bedroom cottage to be replaced by a new four-bedroom house.

This approved plan also includes a one-bedroom, self-contained annexe and a double garage. The planned replacement structure allows for a larger home that can accommodate a family or multi-generational living.

The addition of the annexe provides flexibility for guest accommodations, a home office, or separate dwellings.

Ideal for prospective hobby farmers

The nearly acre of land's main appeal is its suitability for private use, gardening, or some hobby farming.

The grounds offer a half-acre paddock, which could be used for small-scale farming activities, such as maintaining a vegetable garden, keeping chickens, or even grazing a few small animals like sheep or goats.

While Tanglewood Cottage includes almost an acre of land, it is not primarily suited for traditional larger farming purposes due to its size and layout.

How to buy this plot

The plot is listed for £485,000 and is exclusively available through Lodge & Thomas estate agents.

You can find contact information for Lodge & Thomas through Homebuilding & Renovating's Plotfinder website where you can arrange a viewing of the plot and make an offer on the land.
