About this property

This property is so unique and has such an eclectic design. The owner wanted to keep the feel of the barn conversion which was originally a cow shed with its vaulted ceilings exposed beams and wood burner, attempting to mix styles including Gothic, medieval and fantasy whilst keeping it cosy and contemporary. The property is situated on a farm in a quiet rural central location which is great for exploring the local area. The large lounge has a bar and a wood burner. The exterior has great views and quirky areas to relax. There is a four poster double bed in the master bedroom which is cherub and Putto inspired. The original farmstead dates back to at least 1066 and has had a number of prestigious custodians including Lord Ashburton (the High Sheriff of Cornwall), and Lord Ostephan. The property has won best design for three years on Houzz.The property has a quirky mixture of of up cycled architectural salvage with antiques and contemporary art and design. The house is situated perfectly for sight seeing some amazing historical, spiritual and scenic highlights including Tintagel , St Nechtan's Glen, Lydford Gorge and Boscastle to name a few. With an abundance of nature including amazing bird life including owls, kingfishers, herons, woodpeckers, buzzards and even the odd cuckoo. Recently, another local friend Derek Gow has released beavers into the local environment. You might also be lucky and spot a stag or even an otter. The large garden has various places to sit and relax. The area is amazing for artists with great views, moors, beaches, castles, seascapes and ancient spiritual sites. With no light or air pollution on a clear night you can see some breathtaking stars and the sunsets are spectacular as are the views. There is a local friendly pub the Pint and Post within 1 mile.There is also a small shop nearby. With Roadford Lake around 5 miles away which boasts the largest sporting lake in the South West there are many activities to indulge in, including water sports, fishing and archery.

Launceston is nestled on the Devon and Cornwall border and is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle which sits high above the town. Launceston also offers wonderful architecture including exquisite Georgian buildings. Just three miles away is the Tamar Otter Park and taking a trip on the steam train from Launceston through the beautiful Kensey Valley on a 5-mile round trip is essential.
