PROPERTY
Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this beautifully renovated detached home combines contemporary comfort with character, generous gardens and a self-contained annexe that provides excellent income potential. Extensively refurbished and extended, the property offers stylish, turnkey accommodation surrounded by mature grounds with a stream, creating an exceptional lifestyle opportunity within easy reach of St Austell and the north and south Cornish coasts.
Solar photovoltaic panels on the house help reduce running costs while improving the property's long-term energy efficiency.
A long approach drive, shared with one other property creates a sense of drama as you head towards the house. The property has a right of way across the path. A five bar gate adds security for animals and leads to a large parking area with plenty of space for multiple cars and recreational vehicles etc. There is a useful storage shed and bin store here.
ANNEXE AND INCOME POTENTIAL
Additionally, the lodge in the garden which provides additional space for guests or to generate income has been described as “absolutely beautiful location, it was truly magical. Tucked away in complete tranquillity, the cabin and garden were stunning, peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature.” This detached self-contained cabin offers excellent flexibility as guest accommodation, a home office, multi-generational living space or a successful holiday let, providing valuable additional income.
LIVING ACCOMODATION
Approaching the home through another five bar gate there is a very large, glazed entrance porch / sun room (pictured). With benches and shoe storage this is a great entrance hall, particularly for wet children and dogs etc!
A generously proportioned central sitting room has a beautiful wood burner under a timber lintel with a slate hearth.
Wood flooring leads from the sitting room through to the eat-in kitchen. A range of light and dark grey floor and wall mounted shaker-style cabinets provide plenty of storage in addition to an adjoining pantry. There is an inset Belfast sink below a picture window. A Stoves range oven with induction hob and stainless steel extractor over is a good blend of traditional cottage kitchen with modern convenience. There is plenty of space for a large table in the kitchen as well as room for a freestanding fridge/freezer. This is a triple aspect room with a large picture window looking out over the garden, French doors leading out to the front patio and the aforementioned window over the sink looking to the rear of the property.
To the opposite side of the house a newly built second reception room is currently used as a gym and children’s playroom. This could easily be used as a large dining room or second sitting room, a generous home office or potentially an en-suite bedroom.
Heading upstairs the newly created master suite has a nice sized bedroom with a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams adding character. Dual aspect south and west facing windows provide plenty of natural light. There is a walk in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite shower room with “his and her” sinks.
The second bedroom also has a large walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom three is also a double bedroom with dual aspect windows. There is a family bathroom that serves these two rooms. Additionally, there is a cloak room downstairs.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
To the front and side of the house is a large patio area for alfresco dining.
The beautifully landscaped gardens are a real highlight, with mature planting, lawns, seating areas and a gently flowing stream creating a peaceful setting that feels wonderfully private. To the east there is a lawned garden with mature plants and trees at its border. Beyond this is a private secondary garden which houses the lodge. This is a very well presented one bedroom, self contained property with fitted kitchen and shower room. This is a very successful holiday let property providing income for the owners. It has its own seating area and a delightful wood burning hot tub.
To the western side of the house a small stream adds interest and there is a small, fenced orchard which currently houses chickens, and a decked BBQ area.
This is a superb rural home, fantastically located and impeccably presented.
SURROUNDING AREAS
Situated on Goss Moor which is on the outskirts of the villages of Indian Queens, Roche and St. Denis. These villages offer a range of amenities for day to day use. More extensive facilities are available in Newquay (11 miles), Bodmin, (10 miles), St. Austell (8 miles) or Truro (16 miles).
The home sits within Goss Moor which is a 480 hectare National Nature Reserve which is owned and managed by Natural England. There is a lot to see and do as you explore Goss Moor using the nearby multi-use trail. It is the largest continuous mire complex in South-West Britain and consists of mainly wetland and a shrub-land habitat. A 7 mile circular trail is mostly flat and relatively easy - much of it off road - allowing disabled and novice walkers, cyclists and horse riders easy and safe access to the moors. Together with the neighbouring moor to the east, it forms the Goss And Tregoss Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest as well as Breney Common and Goss and Tregoss Moors Special Area of Conservation.
