Country homes · Cornwall
Country homes across Cornwall — period houses, cottages, farmhouses and character properties tucked into the Cornwall landscape.
Cornwall's coastline, fishing villages and granite-built cottages are some of the most sought-after in the UK — from Penwith and the Lizard to the north Atlantic coast and Bodmin Moor.

Generally yes, in popular regions — but they're a lifestyle purchase first. Maintenance and running costs are higher than equivalent town homes. Resale tends to favour homes in good condition with the right features.
Drainage, water supply, broadband, road access in winter, oil/LPG vs mains gas, septic tank condition, EPC, and any agricultural ties or covenants on the property and land.
Northumberland, the Scottish Borders, rural Wales, Lincolnshire and parts of Yorkshire generally offer more affordable country property than the south.
