General Comments - Little Chacewood offers tremendous potential and enjoys a quiet rural setting with no near neighbours yet is within a very short distance of Chacewater with excellent village facilities. The dwelling is a very attractive detached period cottage that has been rented for many years and is now in need of total renovation together with very large gardens and huge corrugated iron outbuilding measuring 20 meters x 10 meters. The whole property offers huge potential and is perfect for purchasers looking for a home with endless possibilities.

The cottage has two bedrooms, study and bathroom on the first floor with lounge/dining room and kitchen/breakfast room downstairs. The study does not have a window so cannot be described as a bedroom but this could easily be changed. There is no kitchen or heating. Outside are front and rear gardens and the large outbuilding that has a huge footprint. On the opposite side of the lane is a further piece of land that is ideal for additional parking. Little Chacewood is sold with no chain and presents a wonderful opportunity to create a fabulous home. Whilst the property is unlikely to be mortgageable with mainstream lenders, as there is no fitted kitchen, this can be discussed further with the agents. An internal viewing is highly recommended.

Location - Little Chacewood is located in a rural setting on the outskirts of Chacewater along the lane that leads to the hamlet of Twelveheads. Chacewater is 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.

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.
