The Location

Bodmin is a historic Cornish town, rich in heritage and surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. Once the county town, it has strong ties to the region’s mining history, notably through the heritage Bodmin and Wenford Railway. It also serves as a gateway to Bodmin Moor, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known for its rugged terrain, diverse wildlife, and archaeological sites. Local landmarks include Bodmin Jail, now a museum, and Lanhydrock House, a grand National Trust estate. With excellent countryside access, the town offers superb opportunities for hiking and cycling.

-

The property backs onto The Beacon Local Nature Reserve, 18.3 acres (7.4 hectares) of open land and woodland managed in partnership with Cornwall Council. At its heart stands the 144-ft Beacon Monument, a granite memorial to General Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert, commemorating his Sikh and Afghan campaigns.
A popular spot for walkers, families, and dog owners, The Beacon offers breathtaking views across Bodmin and the surrounding moorland. Enclosed by mature hedgerows and set back from the road, it provides a peaceful space for outdoor activities and plays a key role in Bodmin’s biodiversity corridor.
