The Property
Lamorna is a very private small holding comprising a five bedroom detached cottage together with numerous outbuildings including stores, home office, car port and former garage.

It is set in beautiful grounds and gardens extending to approximately 3.1 acres, located at the end of a bridleway only serving one other property and enjoying total privacy and tranquillity, being surrounded on three sides by arable farmland.

The Cottage
The cottage is thought to have originated in the 1700s and has been transformed by our clients during their 30 year ownership from a very modest cottage to the five double bedroom family size accommodation it offers today.

The layout is most versatile and comprises entrance porch and hall, kitchen/breakfast room with electric aga (fitted 2018), sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burner, dining room with open fire, two bathrooms (one on the ground floor and one on the first floor), office/study and five double bedrooms - two of which are on the first floor and three of which are at half landing level. Additionally there is a useful loft room over the dining room complete with skylight.

Gardens & Grounds
The gardens and grounds are particularly special, being totally private and are largely level or very gently sloping. There are areas of mature and well established gardens, thought to be home to over 40 species of trees, together with ponds, a vegetable garden with polytunnel, vegetable beds and a fruit cage, as well as several small paddocks, ideal for keeping animals.

A heated outdoor swimming pool is set amongst the front lawn and is surrounded by a decked sitting area. There are numerous outbuildings including former piggeries, sheds, log store and a double car port with an insulated office alongside, ideal for working from home or for a studio/craft space.

A former garage currently serves as a very comfortable day room and is fitted with a kitchen and log burner.
