Truro, Exeter and Plymouth are all reachable within the hour which stands this apart and makes it a ‘must see’ for all buyers at this price point.

LOCATION
With stunning views across the Lynher Valley to Bodmin Moor and two fields, one with idyllic river frontage plus fishing rights, Tregrenna House is a real gem in the heart of East Cornwall. Dating back to 1901, this handsome unlisted early Edwardian home is quintessentially Cornish, with many of the superb features associated with this era – big sash windows, high ceilings, slate floors, open fireplaces, and direct access into the garden. With the ability for immediate riding out or walking on Bodmin Moor or fishing on your own 200 yards of River, Tregrenna would suit those looking for an active sporting life on the doorstep as much as those seeking a quiet repose in a stunning setting.

Beside approximately 3 acres, a big agricultural barn, five bedrooms, a drawing room, a dining room, a study, a farmhouse kitchen, a scullery / utility, an enormous attic with potential for conversion, subject to planning and a convenient porch / dog / boot room, the accommodation comprises an adjoining one bedroomed annexe. The house has so much to offer: the possibility to go out of your backdoor straight onto Bodmin Moor; to ride out or walk while being within 5 minutes’ drive off the A30, providing access to Devon and beyond and the rest of Cornwall. A commute to Plymouth or Truro takes 45 minutes. The surfing beaches and cliffs of the North Cornish coast are 25 minutes away, as is the National Rail connection at Okehampton with rail connections to Plymouth, Exeter and London, and air connections at Newquay and Exeter. There is a local primary school in Altarnun, with a variety of schools in Launceston and Tavistock. Local supermarkets in Bodmin and Launceston are some 13 and 10 miles away. The property is a stone’s throw away from Altarnun, with its famous Church, the ‘Cathedral of the Moors’, its village Post Office, coffee shop, two pubs, vibrant community and very active village and Church Halls.
