General Comments - A wonderful development opportunity located in a fabulous rural setting with no near neighbours. The property comprises a detached dilapidated cottage that is in a very poor state of repair and has not been lived in for several years. It is likely that purchasers will demolish the existing cottage and replace with a larger more impressive dwelling that will compliment this wonderful site and location (subject to planning permission). In our opinion the plot warrants a bigger property.

The dwelling is a very attractive detached cob built period cottage that is structurally unsound and requires total renovation. The cob exterior rear wall and part of the gable end has fallen down, therefore it is likely that the cottage will be demolished.

The accommodation included two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor with two reception rooms and porch downstairs. Attached to the cottage is a stone barn that could be amalgamated with the cottage to create additional accommodation and it is a sizeable footprint. There are large gardens that surround the property enclosed within natural hedge boundaries that offer huge scope and it is incredibly quiet and extremely private. A large outbuilding is ideal for garaging/workshop space and a concrete hardstanding provides lots of parking. Services include mains water and electricity and private drainage.

Location - Bissoe Pool Cottage is located in a very quiet, private setting and accessed from the Bissoe Trail close to the hamlet of Todpool. The trail is miles long and leads from the north coast at Portreath to the south coast at Devoran and provides excellent and safe horse riding and cycling opportunities avoiding main roads.

The nearest village with excellent facilities is Chacewater, a sought after village located within five miles of Truro. It benefits from a village shop, public house, bakers, doctors' surgery and primary school. Chacewater has a great sense of community with many village organisations and activities which are held throughout the year.

The villages surrounding Chacewater owe their history to Cornwall's important and prosperous mining heritage and the fine Georgian houses in the area reflect this. Built for the engineers and industrialists who pioneered the industrial revolution and the mining of tin and other valuable commodities of the time.

Important - The cottage is in a very poor state of repair and structurally unstable. It is not possible to enter the cottage and no internal viewings are permitted.

Covenants - The sellers have imposed the following restrictive covenants.

1. Not to use the house being part of the property other than as a maximum of one dwelling house on the property.

2. Not to cause a nuisance or annoyance to the transferor or the owners or occupiers from time to time of the retained land.

3. Not to object to the use or proposed use of the Retained Land by the Transferor, or any successor in title or any tenant from him/her, for the following purposes agricultural, equine, horticultural or forestry.

4. The seller will reserve the mineral rights under the property [surface mineral working excluded].

Note - This is a very rough, narrow access track and should not be attempted with precious cars - the agents accept no liability for any damage to vehicles. Those concerned about vehicles can park in Todpool and walk to the cottage.

Mining And Additional Surveys - If any further mining investigations or surveys are required this will be solely at the purchasers costs.

Services - Mains water and electricity, private drainage.

N.B - The electrical circuit, appliances and heating system have not been tested by the agents.

Viewing - Strictly by Appointment through the Agents Philip Martin, 9 Cathedral Lane, Truro, TR1 2QS. Telephone: or 3 Quayside Arcade, St. Mawes, Truro TR2 5DT. Telephone .

Directions - Proceeding out of Chacewater towards Scorrier, take the left hand turning signposted to St Day. Follow this road for approximately 1 mile and take the left hand turn signposted to Todpool. At the end of this road on a sharp left hand bend turn right and proceed onto the Bissoe Trail turning left. Be careful as this trail is used by cyclists and horse riders. Follow this rough track for about 3/4 mile and the cottage will be found on the left where a Philip Martin sale board has been erected.

About Philip Martin, Truro

9 Cathedral Lane, Truro, TR1 2QS

Independent, Professional Estate Agents in Cornwall

Established in 1986, Philip Martin is an independent estate and letting agency providing professional property advice across mid and west Cornwall, with offices in Truro and St Mawes.

We act for sellers of a wide range of quality property, from city and village homes to coastal and rural houses, offering clear, considered advice tailored to each individual instruction and market condition.

We believe an estate agent’s role is not simply to market property, but to advise, guide and negotiate effectively in order to achieve the best possible outcome. Philip Martin is led by RICS-qualified partners, supported by an experienced local team with detailed knowledge of Cornwall’s highly localised property markets. This professional grounding allows us to provide measured advice on pricing, presentation and strategy from the outset.

Our Truro sales office, located directly opposite the cathedral in Cathedral Lane, and our St Mawes office on the Roseland Peninsula ensure excellent local visibility and access to buyers. All properties are marketed jointly from both offices, providing strong local exposure combined with wider regional reach.

In addition to residential sales and lettings, we offer professional valuations and advice relating to probate and estate matters, taxation and insurance, divorce and litigation, as well as planning considerations and development potential. This breadth of expertise is particularly valuable for higher-value, coastal and more complex property transactions.

Philip Martin is a long-established independent Cornish agency, known for a calm, professional and strategic approach. Our focus is on providing clear advice, maintaining high professional standards and achieving the best possible result for our clients.
