A magnificent riverside home in Saltash with some of the most spectacular views of the River Tamar has just come to market for £1.25 million.
Cliff Cottage, perched high above the Tamar in one of Cornwall’s most iconic landscapes, combines historic charm with architectural flair to create a one-of-a-kind family residence.
Originally built in the 1880s, this landmark property has evolved from a modest two-bedroom cottage into a sprawling 5,300 sq ft home, set on a generous 0.68-acre plot with uninterrupted river views.
A Home Designed to Celebrate Light and Views
Spread across three floors, Cliff Cottage has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its riverside setting.
The ground floor centres around a stunning reception hall and glass atrium, connecting period features with modern architecture.
A cosy family room, elegant sitting room, and show-stopping rotunda dining room offer versatile spaces for entertaining or relaxation, with panoramic windows framing breathtaking views over the River Tamar.
The kitchen and breakfast room blend practicality and style, featuring solid stone worktops, ample storage, and access to a large utility room. Along the southern frontage, a series of sun rooms provide tranquil spaces for reading, coffee, or simply watching the tide roll by.
Elegant Bedrooms and a Self-Contained Annexe
Upstairs, the master suite includes a dressing room, luxurious en-suite, and a bay window overlooking landscaped gardens. Three additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a home office complete this level.
Two of the bedrooms currently form a self-contained annexe, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or as a holiday rental opportunity. The top floor offers two further loft rooms, adaptable as studios, bedrooms, or home offices (subject to planning).
Riverside Gardens and Exciting Potential
Outside, the south-facing gardens are designed for riverside living with mature planting, expansive lawns, and uninterrupted water views.
A large attached barn currently serves as a garage and workshop, with potential for conversion into a two- or three-bedroom residence (STPP). There’s also a one-bedroom flat within the grounds, currently rented on a long-term basis — a rare bonus for flexible living or extra income.
