HISTORIC detached period HOME with an abundance of CHARM AND CHARACTER throughout the SPACIOUS 4 double bedrooms and 3 reception rooms. Believed to date back over 300 years when it was a FORGE which still remains in place. The property has previously been used as a B&B, Post Office and Shop and therefore offers much VERSATILITY. Option to purchase an adjacent plot of land with potential as a Building Plot STPC, for the sum of £30,000, more information can be obtained from the agent.
The property is situated on Bodmin Moor near the famous Jamaica Inn steeped in history back to c1750 and about which Daphne du Maurier wrote her smuggling classic of the same name. Believed to be even older, the property is full of character including a still visible old brick built forge and exposed stonework in some rooms. Being on the moor there are excellent moorland dog walks and a 4 mile walk away is Brown Willy Tor, the highest point in Cornwall! Other nearby places of interest include Colliford Lake, Dozmary Pool (Excaliber and The Lady of the Lake fame) and the remarkable water falls of Golitha Falls. The property is midway between Launceston (11.5 miles) and Bodmin (10 miles) which are easily accessible via the A30 and provide the area with many recreational, educational and commercial purposes, as well as all of the major supermarkets, shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Stunning Cornish beaches of both the north and south coasts are all close at hand due to the property‘s central position. The main railway station of Bodmin Parkway is a 20 minute drive away that connects to the main railway network to London Paddington station. Exeter is about 53 miles away with an international Airport, Plymouth is 31 miles south offering regular cross-channel ferry services to France and Spain and the Cathedral City of Truro is around 35 miles away.
