Description

A Characterful Sanctuary on 1.15 Acres of Secluded Grounds Step into a beautifully transformed residence where individuality meets serenity. Set within 1.15 acres of impeccably manicured level lawns, this completely renovated home radiates character and charm across three thoughtfully designed floors. The current owner has reimagined every corner to create a quirky and bespoke living environment, blending original features with imaginative style. 

The cottage itself has accommodation which in brief includes four bedrooms, the master has an en suite shower room, kitchen/dining room, living room, cloakroom, bathroom, utility and playroom/second cosy lounge. The property benefits from LPG gas underfloor heating and  handmade double glazed windows and doors.  The majority of rooms enjoy views over the garden or river and there are many character touches providing a unique feel and charm, together with two woodburning stoves, natural slate flagstone floors with wooden floors to the second floor and exposed beams. There are two balconies, one leading from the lounge, the second from the master bedroom, enjoying views of the stream and gardens.

The name of the cottage, Silver Valley also known as Albion Mine or Wheal Albion, was originally a lead mine with some silver content or so they say? It was worked from 1881, but the operation was short-lived and small-scale. The site was later associated with fraudulent promotion, suggesting it may have been more speculative than productive. An engine house once stood here and has now been converted into the fine property we see today. 

Enjoy total privacy and space to unwind, with a range of useful outbuildings and a delightful Shepherd's Hut nestled within the grounds—perfect for guests or creative retreat. Whether you’re seeking a distinctive family home or an inspiring countryside escape, this property delivers a rare blend of lifestyle, comfort, and personality.

Located north of New Mills, on the west side of the valley near Trendeal which offers good road links to Truro, Newquay and easily accessible to the A30.
