If 2025 is the year you have decided to make the most of the great outdoors, this fabulous former farmhouse just yards from the Tamar River could be the perfect property to help you achieve your goals.
Although falling under the postcode for the picturesque village of Landulph near Saltash, Rosehill lies on the outskirts of the riverside village of Cargreen which is situated on the Tamar River, upstream from the city of Plymouth where the waters of three rivers find their way out into the large estuary waters of the Plymouth Sound.
Cargreen is navigable on the tides for sailing and pleasure craft alike and the village yacht club holds tuition classes as well as providing moorings on the river. The expansive estuary waters offer excellent day sailing and are a brilliant playground for those wishing to potter in boats or explore by kayak.

For those keen to explore on foot, beautiful walks can be enjoyed along the banks of the River Tamar and through the surrounding countryside, much of which is rural farmland and villages.
Set well back from the road in large gardens approaching one acre, Rosehill is a spacious, Georgian-style farmhouse and former dairy with five or six bedrooms, three or four reception rooms and panoramic far-reaching countryside views from the first floor.
Beautifully presented throughout with modern sanitaryware and kitchens, the detached property retains many character features and, as an added bonus, has ground-floor accommodation that can be easily divided to offer a self-contained annexe with its own independent access from the driveway.
The accommodation is accessed from an entrance porch at the front of the house where a glazed door opens into the entrance hall. From here there is a dual aspect sitting room with a log-burning stove, and a dining room with an impressive stone fireplace, a solid-fuel burning cooking range and woodblock flooring throughout. There is also a refitted kitchen with handleless white gloss units and integrated appliances.
A side hall gives access to a cloakroom, and steps descend to a lower level where there is a utility room that houses the pellet-fuelled biomass boiler that supplies domestic hot water and central heating. The utility has an interconnecting door to the accommodation that could be used as an annexe and comprises a double bedroom, a separate kitchen, dining and sitting room and a shower room.
Upstairs, Rosehill boasts an impressive, triple aspect, second sitting room that boasts a high ceiling, a wood-burning stove, and incredible views over miles of countryside. The first floor also hosts four bedrooms, a fifth bedroom or study, and a family bathroom that has both a bath and a separate shower. The first-floor landing is partially divided and split-level with two separate staircases descending to the ground floor.
The former farmhouse is surrounded by beautiful mature gardens that are well screened from the road by mature hedges and trees. There are areas of formal lawn to the front with well planted flower and shrub bed borders, a vegetable garden, a pond and an orchard, with a detached, two-storey, stone-built barn to the rear.
Accessing all sides of the property, the main driveway is tarmaced and provides parking for numerous vehicles. Two further vehicular gated accesses lead from the road into Rosehill’s front and rear gardens.
Situated within a thriving riverside community, and enjoying swift access to Saltash and Plymouth - which both offer a whole host of amenities as well as direct railway links to London Paddington - Rosehill offers an exciting chance to live in an unspoilt area of Cornwall, close to the Devon border and is on the market at £825,000.
