Warleggan, Mount, Bodmin, Cornwall PL30

Sellers insight
‘The family has lived here for many years, and it has been a happy home. The views and peace and quiet here are just lovely, and it will be a wrench to move away; so many happy memories come to mind, including an albino white ‘red’ kite, fox cubs and always the enjoyment of the great outdoor space on the doorstep.’

Step inside

This character home was originally a barn and stands at the end of a private shared track on Bodmin Moor in a beautiful area within surrounding countryside. The setting is glorious with fine views, and sheltered from the prevailing winds. Our client has lived at the property for over 25 years and has enjoyed the escapism that is on offer. The accommodation includes a welcoming reception porch which opens into the entrance hall. Much of the home is laid out on the ground floor with the whole property offering a range of character throughout, including exposed beams (many of which are A frames), granite open fireplaces and slate and tiled floors.

It is a great space to entertain in and has a door accessing the rear garden. The living room is separate and triple aspect with a door leading out to the garden. Adjacent to the living room is a bedroom which could be either used as a home office or potentially be knocked into the living room and therefore become a larger reception space.

The kitchen/dining room is equipped with a range of matching units comprising wall and base cupboards and glass display cabinets. Included in the sale is an electric double oven, hob, fridge/freezer, further fridge, dishwasher and extractor. The kitchen has a solid fuel burner. A few steps lead down to a triple aspect bar which has a door out to the courtyard, wood panelled wall and light also assisted via roof windows. The room could be used as a formal dining room or a games room but is a huge advantageous space within the home. There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor. The second largest bedroom is one of these, and is dual aspect with an adjacent en -suite shower room/wc which is fully tiled.

Step outside

Externally, the plot of Margh and Davas cottage is enclosed by double wooden 5 bar gates which provide access to the parking area; this has space for some 6 cars. The gardens and land are a major feature of the property. They extend mainly to the rear and have been landscaped to make the best of the plots. These is outside lighting and a cold water tap. Plenty of spaces can be found to find the sun throughout the day and when the weather is favourable enjoy outside dining/ barbecue. The lawns are split level and are boarded by attractive mature shrubs and bushes as well as large conifers. There are many hydrangeas, rhododendrons and camellias. For those productive gardeners there are areas which could be cultivated and there is a cooking apple tree. The garden is very private and includes a large shed/ shelter at the top.
On the opposite side of the lane is a further garden which again is enclosed featuring trees and bushes and has a wooden field shelter from where there is access to the land. At the side there is an open courtyard area. The area is a rich habitat for much wildlife including foxes, birds and moorland ponies to name but a few.

The property has an outdoor grass school, with immediate access to the moors for horse riding; there are some 11 acres of pasture laid in two enclosures both adjacent to the property, the land being well drained with a gentle slope. The larger enclosure has a large pond which was hand dug. The views are quite superb.
