around a beautiful Grade I listed church within a parish that covers approximately 3,257 acres of undulating farmland and woodland areas with the central area of the village made up of mostly older traditional houses and cottages all situated off various lanes
that lead out from the centre of the village. The village contains a Methodist chapel, primary school and pub.
Set close to the beautiful Camel Estuary and with the North Cornwall coast with easy access to the most popular areas including Rock, 11 miles away on the north bank of the estuary offering sailing and water skiing facilities. From there, a passenger ferry
crosses to picturesque Padstow.
North Cornwall is simply heaven for the ''foodie'': The renowned Rick Stein Seafood restaurant is positioned on the quayside in nearby Padstow; Nathan Outlaw's double Michelin Star restaurant is on the opposite bank of the Camel Estuary at the St Enodoc Hotel,
Rock; The Scarlet Hotel at Mawgan Porth is headed up by Michelin award-winning chef Ben Tunnicliffe, and there are numerous other restaurants and some excellent pubs in the area.
The pretty fishing village of Port Isaac lies approximately 7 miles distant. Extensive sandy beaches stretch along the north coast on either side of the Camel Estuary with Polzeath and Daymer, two famous surfing beaches within 13.5 miles of breathtaking north
cornish coastline, while the up and coming former market town of Wadebridge is just 7 miles away. There are primary schools within the village and secondary education at Wadebridge. Private schools, both primary and secondary levels, can be found in Truro,
to the west.
There are golf courses at Rock, St Enodoc, St Kew, Roserrow near Polzeath, Lanhydrock, Bowood at Camelford and the spectacular Trevose across the Camel Estuary.

Description
The property was built around 1909, with beautiful façades of local stone, granite quoins and mullion leaded light windows together with a distinctively steep pitched Delabole slate roof. The accommodation is very deceptive and considerably larger than it may
first appear from an initial external glance. It briefly consists of two large reception rooms, large study, kitchen-breakfast room, seven bedrooms, three bath or shower rooms and various additional utility and store rooms within the main house, as well as
a second floor sitting room.
Located to the north of the main house is the very picturesque and totally detached 2 bedroom Coach House that enjoys privacy from the house and therefore offers itself as suitable for overflow accommodation, a dependant relative, staff or holiday lets.
While the house is of the post Victorian era the accommodation still has the feel of that era and is exceptionally spacious and well proportioned throughout with many beautiful internal features such as the large granite archway within the main reception hall,
feature fireplaces in the drawing room and hall, window seats, moulded ceilings and architraves and the central feature of the house being the turning staircase that leads up through to the first and second floors.
Outside
Approached from the road through granite gateposts, the gravelled entrance drive leads up to both the large parking area in front of the main entrance door of the house and also initially splits off through a stone archway toward the north gated boundary of
the property, passing the gable end of the Coach House. The large, mostly walled gardens surround the property on three sides and are all laid mostly to lawn with a variety of delightful borders and mature specimen trees.
Set privately within its 1.28 acres, this is a thoroughly pleasant and large village property that offers considerable flexibility with it's beautiful main house and the added delight of the 2 bedroom Coach House.
Overall this is a very rare opportunity within such a beautiful and desirable part of Cornwall and one which should certainly be viewed to be fully appreciated.
