Love and Light in Basset Street, Camborne, Cornwall

This deceptively cosy town house in Camborne full of love and light could be yours for £399k.

Link listing: Basset Street, Camborne, Cornwall

Never judge a property by its frontage, it is what is inside that counts. In this property the inside surprises and delight

Once you move inside you quickly forget the road. There are three lovely reception rooms, a large kitchen diner, a utility room and a downstairs bathroom. The dining room and kitchen diner have additional skylights, bringing light into these spaces.

The family area at the back of the kitchen is a lovely space to enjoy long family meals where everyone is eating, drinking and just enjoying each other's company.

Unusually rather than the staircase being in the centre of the house it is at the back which means there is a large window halfway up the stairs flooding the area with light. The staircase itself with sweeping curves draws you up to the first floor.

On the first floor, there are three reasonably standard bedrooms and a charming bathroom with a wood panel sloping roof giving the bathroom Scandinavian vibes.

Outside there is a large patio with a good-sized garden including a lovely palm tree.

If Camborne is on your shortlist and you want a cosy home with character then this could be yours for under £400k.

Do Say - Let's get some friends over for a meal.

Don't say - don't park ugly cars in front of my house.

Cosy Hideaway - Pendragon Barn, Tintagel, Cornwall

On the North Coast of Cornwall, you will find this cosy hideaway in Tintagel for £425k. Curl up by the log burner with a book and a glass of wine whilst the storm rages outside. Listing link: Cosy Hideaway - Pendragon Barn, Tintagel, Cornwall The area around Tintagel in north Cornwall is one of my favourite places in the south-west. Rugged coastal views but less busy than further west along the coast. This detached barn conversion would be my ideal bolt-hole in the area. A small but perfectly formed cosy nook in which to read my book by night and walked the rugged headlands by day. This is slightly quirky in that it is an upside-down house with a living room on the top floor to take advantage of the views - it has a four-aspect view. Don't want to be upstairs then you can be downstairs in the sunroom instead which apparently is blessed with an 'impressive' log-burning stove. You can even have guests stay in the small chalet in the garden or it could be the playroom or hom...

Check out that view! Bideford, Devon

The view alone for this house is worth the asking price of £235k . The house is a bit of blank canvas needing a complete refurbishment but could become a dream house with some serious work. Listing link: Check out that view! Bideford, Devon. If you buy this house you will spend your time looking at the view. I give it a day before you order some binoculars or a telescope and the bay windows are just asking for a window seat. The house has clearly seen better days and you probably need to be a builder or need a tame builder to help you put things right. On the upside, the kitchen has already been ripped out so you can completely redesign that to your taste. The rooms are all large and there are some nice period features such as the hall floor and fireplaces. The small third bedroom also has a sheltered balcony overlooking the river, a perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by. The back garden is nothing to speak of but then you will be spending most of your time out the front for th...

One Chapel - not quite four walls and a roof, Camborne, Cornwall

Listing Link: Chapel, Church Road, Penponds, Camborne You don't get an awful lot for £120k these days and in this case, you just about get four walls and a roof but with some gaps. You do get a lot of chapels in the South-West, many of which are in the already converted condition or the last service was last month kind of condition. This one is unusual because it clearly hasn't seen a service for some time. Chapels often come with unique features which is part of their charm. This one has a couple of windows, the ghost remains of an arch and a nice traffic cone. In other words, what you have here is a shell with character; on the upside, it already has planning permission for a 3-bedroom house. Of course, you might not agree with the design that has been created but there may be potential to go back to the planning stage and create a house that better fits your dreams. Another bonus/drawback depending on how you look at it is that the property is right next to a railway. Good ...
