Description

Set within approximately 6.8 acres of breathtaking Cornish countryside, presenting an exceptional lifestyle opportunity combining a substantial family home, a detached holiday cottage, a private spring-fed lake, and an idyllic rural setting in the peaceful hamlet of Tideford Cross. Hidden away along a quiet country lane yet conveniently positioned moments from the A38, the property offers a rare balance of tranquillity, accessibility, and versatility.

Surrounded by rolling landscapes, mature trees, and open pasture, the setting immediately evokes a sense of escape and privacy. The grounds have been thoughtfully enjoyed as both a family environment and a place to reconnect with nature, with the spring-fed lake providing a stunning focal point for wild swimming, paddleboarding, wildlife watching, or simply relaxing beside the water. The additional land, woodland areas, and former quarry further enhance the property’s unique appeal and offer exciting potential for a variety of lifestyle pursuits.

The principal residence extends to over 1,700 sq ft of warm and characterful accommodation, with beautifully proportioned interiors designed for both comfortable everyday living and entertaining. A generous dual-aspect sitting room forms the heart of the home, flooded with natural light and opening onto the surrounding gardens through French doors. A formal dining room connects seamlessly with the kitchen, while a spacious utility room and separate cloakroom provide practicality for modern family life. The layout is both functional and adaptable, offering excellent scope for reconfiguration or enhancement to suit evolving needs and personal tastes.

Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy peaceful countryside outlooks and a calm, inviting atmosphere. The accommodation offers flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or home working, while the principal rooms benefit from en-suite facilities and an abundance of natural light. Throughout the home, character features and charming details create a welcoming sense of warmth and authenticity.

Positioned separately within the grounds, the detached two-bedroom holiday cottage enjoys uninterrupted views across the lake and surrounding countryside. Thoughtfully arranged with bright open-plan living space and private outdoor areas, the cottage provides an ideal opportunity for holiday letting, multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or supplementary income.

Despite its wonderfully rural feel, Tulip House remains highly accessible. The nearby village of Tideford offers a traditional village atmosphere and local amenities, while St Germans provides a mainline railway station and picturesque riverside setting. The beautiful beaches and coastal walks of Whitsand Bay and the Rame Peninsula are within easy reach, with the maritime city of Plymouth accessible in approximately 20 minutes by car.

Combining natural beauty, flexibility, privacy, and genuine lifestyle appeal, Tulip House is a truly special countryside retreat in one of South East Cornwall’s most scenic and connected locations.

About Pilkington Estates, Stoke

Harscombe House 1Darklake View, Plymouth, PL6 7TL

Buying and selling property is both an art and a science. In the 21st century, the world of estate agency has blossomed in the digital environment, leaving many traditional firms left standing, eyeing the technology with confusion and suspicion rather than embracing it. The team at Pilkington Estates are digital natives, embracing everything the modern world has to offer to help present your home in the best possible light, and using technology to get the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

This contemporary, no nonsense approach is balanced by a sensitivity and empathy towards their customers, both buyers and sellers, that allows us to offer a truly one to one bespoke service.

We understand that every customer is different, and each client has different needs and requirements, so will customise any modern method of selling to suit individual requirements.

Whether you are an old hand with multiple sales under your belt, or whether you are selling a much loved family home for the first time, Pilkington Estates are careful to hand hold you through the process as much or as little as you need.

We can help keep your house hunting enthusiasm burning with intelligent recommendations or can take the strain of the entire relocation process by doing all the running around that you are too busy to do.

We sit comfortably in this fast-paced world, understanding your need for urgency. We bring an energy and confidence to the whole buying and selling process that will get the job done without the drama.

This is not an agency that likes to sit around waiting for the phone to ring!
