  • 0.4 acre sheltered mature gardens

  • Quiet off road village setting
A detached character home that has been in the current family ownership for more than a century, now in need of remodelling and general refurbishment in a truly delightful village setting fringing the iconic Bodmin moor.

The Property
Trelawney Cottage is approx. 200 years old and was originally a pair of semi-detached cottages. Today it is presented as a detached three bedroom cottage with first floor bathroom, two reception rooms and a kitchen/diner. The majority of the windows and doors have been replaced with uPVC double glazing but it is now in need of refurbishment to reinstate it as the family home it has been for three generations of the current ownership.

The magical gardens extend to around 0.4 acres and comprise various lawned areas surrounded and protected by a wide variety of mature trees. Hidden away within the grounds are a well, a former swimming pool and a magnificent Horse Chestnut Tree.

Attached to the house is a small store/utility, garden wc and coal/log store together with a 29' x 24' garage/workshop that needs replacement or, subject to planning, may have development potential for another dwelling.

Location
This fringe of moorland village has a rich industrial history and was awarded World Heritage status almost 20 years ago. It is popular for its school, public house, village shop and doctors surgery, all of which including the moor, are within easy reach. The village retains a Post Office and snooker hall and even fields its own football club. Whilst relishing such unspoilt countryside surroundings, the village is not isolated, for it is just 2 miles, 6 miles and 12 miles respectively from the major towns of Liskeard, Callington and Launceston, where most daily requirements will be easily catered for. The A38 is 6 miles giving easy access to Bodmin and Plymouth.
