Tulip House, Tideford Cross, Cornwall, PL12 5JY

Unique Lifestyle Property With Spring-Fed Lake And Holiday Cottage Set within approximately 6.8 acres of breathtaking Cornish countryside, presenting an exceptional lifestyle opportunity combining a substantial family home, a detached holiday cottage, a private spring-fed lake, and an idyllic rural setting in the peaceful hamlet of Tideford Cross.

Hidden away along a quiet country lane yet conveniently positioned moments from the A38, the property offers a rare balance of tranquillity, accessibility, and versatility.

Surrounded by rolling landscapes, mature trees, and open pasture, the setting immediately evokes a sense of escape and privacy.

The grounds have been thoughtfully enjoyed as both a family environment and a place to reconnect with nature, with the spring-fed lake providing a stunning focal point for wild swimming, paddleboarding, wildlife watching, or simply relaxing beside the water.

The additional land, woodland areas, and former quarry further enhance the property’s unique appeal and offer exciting potential for a variety of lifestyle pursuits.

The principal residence extends to over 1,700 sq ft of warm and characterful accommodation, with beautifully proportioned interiors designed for both comfortable everyday living and entertaining.

A generous dual-aspect sitting room forms the heart of the home, flooded with natural light and opening onto the surrounding gardens through French doors.

A formal dining room connects seamlessly with the kitchen, while a spacious utility room and separate cloakroom provide practicality for modern family life.

The layout is both functional and adaptable, offering excellent scope for reconfiguration or enhancement to suit evolving needs and personal tastes.

Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy peaceful countryside outlooks and a calm, inviting atmosphere.

The accommodation offers flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or home working, while the principal rooms benefit from en-suite facilities and an abundance of natural light.

Throughout the home, character features and charming details create a welcoming sense of warmth and authenticity.

Positioned separately within the grounds, the detached two-bedroom holiday cottage enjoys uninterrupted views across the lake and surrounding countryside.

Thoughtfully arranged with bright open-plan living space and private outdoor areas, the cottage provides an ideal opportunity for holiday letting, multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or supplementary income.

Despite its wonderfully rural feel, Tulip House remains highly accessible.

The nearby village of Tideford offers a traditional village atmosphere and local amenities, while St Germans provides a mainline railway station and picturesque riverside setting.

The beautiful beaches and coastal walks of Whitsand Bay and the Rame Peninsula are within easy reach, with the maritime city of Plymouth accessible in approximately 20 minutes by car.

Combining natural beauty, flexibility, privacy, and genuine lifestyle appeal, Tulip House is a truly special countryside retreat in one of South East Cornwall’s most scenic and connected locations.
