4 bed detached house for sale

Treovis, Upton Cross, Nr Liskeard PL14

Step into a slice of history with this unique and beautifully styled character home, brimming with warmth, charm, and thoughtful modern upgrades. Believed to date back in parts to the 1500s and 1800s, this spacious four-bedroom cottage blends rich period details with impressive energy-efficient features.

A major advantage of this property is its sustainability. It benefits from solar panels that currently generate income via the fit scheme at 15p per kWh exported, and the seg scheme at 4p per kWh generated. In addition, the Tesla Powerwall 2 significantly enhances energy efficiency by allowing the home to draw electricity from the national grid only during cheaper day rates — currently 14.7p per kWh — making it an eco-conscious and cost-effective choice.

Across the quiet lane, a private path leads to a generous 0.25-acre plot – an ideal space for gardeners, creatives, or those in need of extra room. The area includes a polytunnel, productive planting beds, a lawn, and a detached garage/workshop with a pending planning application for conversion. It’s the perfect setting for a studio, home office, or potential future accommodation, all surrounded by traditional Cornish hedgerow.
