Agents Note This miners cottage was built Circa 1837 for George Nankervis who left Cornwall to mine silver in Nevada USA. After a brief period of ownership by the Prowse Family it was purchased in 1896 by the grandfather of the present owners for £40. His name was Nicholas Hocking Thomas who spent four years mining gold in South Africa enabling him to buy this cottage with a single payment on his return. This property comes to the market for the first time in 120 years and offers a wonderful opportunity to own a piece Cornish history, set within the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Conservation Area, and Area of Great Historic Value.

Please check our website regularly at: and look out for any additional materials available on the day of the auction, in order to stay fully informed with the up to date information.Definition Of A Guide Price And A Reserve PriceGuide PriceAn indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.Reserve PriceThe seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. Bids may be accepted by the system but the property will not sell if the bidding does not reach the reserve. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
