Tuell, Tavistock, PL19

Slow Living, Done Properly. If you’d always pick a quiet lane over a busy High Street and a log burning stove over a Hive smart thermostat – this beautifully restored cottage is like a real life reset button, ready for a quiet soul (or two) to settle in.

Set at the end of a row of character cottages at Tuell Farm, Nuthatch Cottage offers a slower, simpler kind of life. The sort of life where you’ll find time for a pub walk, a good book by the fire, or just watching the weather roll across the hills.

The setting is pure Tamar Valley. Leafy lanes, ancient barns and proper countryside all around. The neighbours include sheep, chickens, and the occasional tractor – so it helps if you’re confident reversing when something big appears round the bend.

Inside, it’s full of the good kind of old. Lime-rendered walls, timber floors and an open-tread staircase lead up to two double bedrooms and a bathroom with an electric shower over the bath.

The kitchen is fitted, the sitting room is spacious, and the stove is waiting to be lit.

It’s not one for kids – the open stairs, mezzanine landing and lack of a garden to play in make it best suited to a single person or a couple.

Outside, there’s parking for two smallish cars – or one big one with a bit of yard space to spill into. And while it’s not exactly throw-a-garden-party territory, there’s enough room to sit out with a cuppa and enjoy the birdsong.

You’re a short drive from Tavistock for shopping, or a decent stroll to the Royal Inn at Horsebridge if you fancy a proper pint.

The Blacksmith Arms in Lamerton is good for a more refined evening, and there are countryside walks in every direction.

If you’re looking for a long-term let with peace, charm and no faff – and you’re used to the quirks of rural living – Nuthatch Cottage might just be your kind of perfect.
