The Engine House is located at Wheal Rose near Scorrier and retains many of the features associated with its industrial past.
Inside, the property includes three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area on the ground floor.
One of its standout features is a top-floor lounge with a vaulted beamed ceiling, triple-aspect views and direct access to a veranda overlooking the surrounding countryside.
The home also comes with gardens approaching a third of an acre, a summer house, a storage shed and parking for four vehicles.
The building forms part of Cornwall’s rich mining heritage, with engine houses becoming some of the county’s most recognisable landmarks during the height of the tin and copper mining industry.
Cornwall was once one of the world’s most important mining regions, with many surviving engine houses now protected through listed status due to their historic significance.
The accommodation is arranged across five floors and includes a ground-floor shower room, a separate family bathroom and multiple living spaces.
The property is currently being marketed by MAP Estate Agents.
