Home at last

Some 8 months after relocating to Cornwall, contracts have finally been exchanged on my new house.  With Dartmoor now just over an hour away from home, I am looking forward to being on the Moor far more often.

Imagine, if you can, my surprise when a new property came on to the market:  Rundlestone Pump House near Princetown.  This petite, gabled building was only built in the 1990s.  South West Water are now selling the block, plus the 0.4 acres it resides in.  Unlike Parsons Cottage, which I reported for sale in a blog post in January (Just Past New Year), the Pump House is Freehold, so nothing is owed to the Duchy.  At just £75,000, I could become a Cornish 2nd home owner...

The Pump House is in a desperate condition though.  There are pictures of it's run-down interior, and damaged exterior on the estate agent website.  Property Information via Bradleys Estate Agents
