Glebe Cottage, Pillaton, Saltash, PL12

A truly enchanting character cottage with origins believed to date back to the 12th-14th century, nestled within the highly sought-after Cornish village of Pillaton and enjoying glorious countryside views.

Lovingly cherished and cared for by the current owner for the past 20 years, this remarkable family home is offered for sale with no onward chain and occupies a peaceful, tucked-away position just a short stroll from the ever-popular Weary Friar Inn and the historic St Odulph Church.

Brimming with charm and period features, the accommodation begins with an inviting entrance porch featuring a traditional stable door, leading into a warm and welcoming south-facing conservatory. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan lounge/dining room with exposed wooden beams, a central staircase and an inset fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy living space. The generous dual-aspect kitchen enjoys delightful views across the gardens, while a cloakroom leads through to a separate WC. Completing the ground floor is a highly practical outside utility room/store.

Upstairs, the property offers a spacious master double bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms, a comfortable single bedroom and a family bathroom. The rear-facing bedrooms enjoy beautiful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Outside, the sunny and enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. A gate provides direct access to the driveway, while a side pathway leads to the beautifully established front garden, which offers a private retreat filled with mature plants and shrubs. From the rear garden, you can enjoy outstanding countryside views stretching across neighbouring fields towards the historic church tower, creating a truly idyllic setting.

Additional features include a driveway providing parking for at least two vehicles, a larger-than-average detached dual-aspect garage with a pitched roof and electric roller door, offering excellent workshop or storage potential, as well as 12 owned solar panels, helping to improve the home's energy efficiency.

Properties of this age, character and setting rarely become available, and an internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional home has to offer.
