At the same time the adaptation has been undertaken including high quality oak woodwork wherever possible including the windows and doors yet providing the modern comfort of double glazing and oil fired central heating.

The property is located in the upper Camel river valley and is a very short walk from the beautiful river Camel with its private salmon and sea trout fishing. The sought after and picturesque village of Blisland is one mile away with its beautiful 13th Century Church, unique village green and the Blisland Inn renowned for its award winning Camra Pub of the Year for previous years. The village also has a recently constructed new centre comprising the village post office and stores and doctors surgery. Alongside the river Camel is the well known Camel Trail extending from its upper reaches at Wenford Bridge just below Bodmin Moor and extending past Bodmin through Wadebridge and ending at the north coastal harbour town of Padstow.

Because of its considerable charm and immaculate restoration, the property has been successfully used for holiday letting purposes. Should a purchaser be interested in continuing this then the contents of the property may be made available for separate negotiation.

The beautiful setting of the property enjoys a fine aspect over an open field. The property is approached from the lane over a wide tarmacadam drive with cattle grid and separate side pedestrian gate then leading onto a further drive area finished in compacted chippings. This then winds up to the large area of car park to the front of the property finished also in chippings. The extensive gardens are laid mainly to mature lawns with a fine variety of mature shrubs and trees. A further area of the front garden is finished in fine pebbles and is ideal for sitting out. At this point and at the top of the drive there is a most attractive old Victorian street lamp. To one end of this garden there is an attractive garden room with wide double opening doors also opening onto a paved patio area measuring 11'9" x 8'6" and to the rear a garden store measuring 18'8" x 11'6". Just behind this is a further small enclosed garden area with a mature Cornish palm and a footpath then extends to the rear garden finished with fine pebbles and random slate stepping stones with raised flower borders and shrubberies above. The property is completed by a good high screen fence giving privacy to this garden area from the neighbouring property.

The interior of the property must be viewed to be appreciated which is approached from a part glazed front door leading into the kitchen with a terracotta tiled floor, oak staircase leading to the first floor with a very high window. There is a fitted Belfast sink set in granite worktops and a built in understair cupboard. There is a second large built in understair cupboard housing the oil fired central heating boiler and there is plumbing and space for an automatic washing machine and dishwasher. There is a massive feature old timber lintel set above the cooker position and this room together with all other rooms feature vaulted ceilings with exposed old timber beams. There are steps leading up to the sitting room and a further door then leads through to the games room with a separate large part glazed front door leading to the exterior, wood strip flooring, a radiator and a feature stone wall at one end. At the gable end of the property there are high glazed windows. This room is eminently suitable for adaptation to further private residential living accommodation if required.

The sitting room has wide oak floor boarding, a cast iron oil fired stove unit finished with polished aluminium chimney and set on a raised slated hearth. French windows lead onto the garden and a further door then leads through to the inner hall. Bedroom two will be found at the end of the hall and features some full height windows looking out over the front garden and there is an en-suite wet room with a Mira shower fitting, pedestal wash hand basin, low level w.c. and an electric heated towel rail. Bedroom three also enjoys full height glazed windows looking over the lovely views and also has an en-suite wet room fitted in the same way as bedroom two.

The staircase rises from the kitchen to the principal bedroom on the first floor. This beautiful room continues the theme of old exposed roof trusses and collars and has a high gable end window. There is also an old barn type door part glazed but not opening for safety. A door then leads to the en-suite bathroom, beautifully appointed with a panelled bath with Victorian style shower head and mixer tap, a low level w.c., wash hand basin and a large built in airing cupboard enclosing a factory insulated hot water storage cylinder and immersion heater. There is also a further feature recess with slated shelf.

There are radiators supplied throughout the property.

To sum up this is a property that is a must to view in this very special location and whilst at present having an opening leading through to the entrance drive of the neighbouring Manor House. The neighbouring house has an attached garage adjoining the back of the property but has its own private vehicle entrance.
