This character cottage for sale comes with a derelict former forge and dates back hundreds of years. 

Kelly’s Cottage, in Lewannick, is Grade II listed and sits in a hamlet known as Kelly’s House. 

The property is thought to date back to the 1600s, and is described as having a “wealth of charm”. 

Leading up to the house is a path lined with colourful plants, sitting in a semi-rural position. 

On the ground floor of the main home, there is a large lounge and dining room with a “stunning” fireplace  and a wood-burning stove. 

Also on this level is a kitchen with a range of units and a utility area with access to the rear garden. 

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, and a large bathroom and toilet, with a shower over the bath. 

Across the road is the former forge, which is now derelict and has scope to be converted into something, subject to the relevant consents. 

Adjacent to the forge site is an area suitable for off-road parking for two vehicles. 

The property is being sold by estate agents Webbers for a price of £229,950. 

The agent commented: “Webbers are delighted to be selling this character home which is full of charm, it really is a hidden gem and located so close to the extensive village facilities at Lewannick, the A30 and open terrain of Bodmin Moor. 

“It would be perfect for those looking for a country retreat where they can escape from busy modern day life!”

The current owner added: “I think it’s amazing to live here at Kelly’s Cottage with all its character, a place steeped in history going back centuries. 

“I especially like sitting on the window seat in the bedroom, sun shining through and look out across the fields…so tranquil and beautiful.”
