4 bedroom detached house for sale

Impressive, spacious family home, immaculately presented, in the parkland of a country hotel and golf club

Description

On entering Meadowland two features are immediately apparent: clever use of space and quality of craftsmanship. The generously proportioned entrance porch sets the scene with fitted storage and the use of hardwood (iroko doors, windows and flooring) which continues into the hall and throughout the whole house. The hall gleams with the rich colours of the highly polished wood and leads centrally though the ground floor with the two main reception rooms flowing into beautifully naturally lit wide spaces. The drawing room, two steps down from the hall, has tall windows to the west and a seven panelled bay window overlooking the southwest facing terrace and garden. An elegant stone fireplace on a raised plinth surrounds a recently installed gas fire for convenience.

Next is the dining room with wide patio doors opening on to the paved terrace. A large dining table is easily accommodated. An inset gas fire provides cosiness if needed, but that would seem to be rarely, given the overall warmth and openness of the design of these two reception rooms.
A door opens into the study, a room too opulent to be called an office, though that would be its function for anyone lucky enough to work from home here. South facing French windows open to the garden.

Next is the kitchen, fully fitted with integral (Neff) appliances and wooden units with granite countertops. It features an electric Aga and a large, Norwegian corner fridge. A central island has additional preparation space and a sink, while another sink has a Quooker tap. A wide window overlooks the front garden and patio doors open onto the terrace, ideal for summer use. The dining area of the kitchen has underfloor heating. The natural light and sense of space here is enhanced by a high vaulted ceiling.

On the far side of the hall a door opens into a very pleasant indoor pool room. With a glazed lantern roof, wide patio doors and a Barrisol ceiling to counteract the humidity, this is an immaculately maintained room affording plenty of space for relaxing around the pool, which is 13m x 7m and has a current, making it an excellent exercise facility. Adjoining is a shower room with steam spa shower, a separate utility/laundry room with inbuilt storage, and the plant room housing the boilers for the house and the pool.

Next is the games room and gym, another unexpectedly large room leading to the double garage where, as well as having ample space for parking there is also generous inbuilt storage and the door to the rear garden.

The first of the four bedrooms is on the ground floor, with an en suite bathroom including a separate shower, and it has a large inbuilt wardrobe. Two windows overlook the garden and the drive. Along the hall is a guest wc with handbasin and the Megaflo tank with instant hot water valve.

A nicely crafted bespoke staircase turns to the upper floor where there are three generously sized bedrooms with en suites and a small study. The first guest room has a fully tiled shower room, an inbuilt wardrobe and two dormer windows overlooking the parkland and lovely countryside views. The next bedroom also has lovely views over a lake on the golf course and the valley beyond. It is even more spacious, with a shower room attached and a wide walk-in wardrobe. The principal bedroom has a very fine marble bathroom en suite and is triple aspect with French windows to a wide balcony where there is a hot tub. This is a well screened and private space, making use of the extensive flat roof of the garage.
Despite the size of the bedrooms the sloping ceilings and dormer windows add an element of homeliness to the smart, luxurious fittings. Throughout the house there is high quality décor and an abundance of space.

The garden is attractively landscaped to the front and rear. The back door opens from the garage to a paved terrace that encompasses raised herb/veg beds and a pétanque court. Alongside are two garden sheds, one for garden implements and the other housing the 2,500 litre oil tank and propane gas tanks. Steps lead to the raised rear garden where the views are far reaching. Mature trees and hedging afford privacy to enjoy a large, lawned area bordered by beautiful shrubs. Beyond the boundary hedge is open farmland.

The front garden is also terraced with paved patios, well-maintained lawns, a pond and mature trees framing the view. The wide gravelled drive can accommodate several vehicles.

Location

Bowood is an attractive country location, a golf club of 230 acres set in a gently sloping, wooded valley with views over rolling farmland towards the north coast. Meadowland is part of a small development of large houses built just over 20 years ago on the edge of this scenic park.

Camelford is handily close for essential amenities, including a primary school, secondary school, library, church, supermarket and sports centre. Its proximity to the western edge of Bodmin Moor and to the Atlantic Coast make the town a hub on the network of routes off the A39 to access North Cornwall’s most dramatic scenery.

Wadebridge is in easy reach for a range of independent family-run shops and restaurants, as are the ever-popular coastal villages of Rock, Polzeath, Port Isaac, Tintagel and Boscastle, all of which are perfect for days on the beach, surfing, sailing or exploring the rich history of the area via the South West Coast Path. Rich with locally sourced produce, the current range of cuisine in North Cornwall is impressive, with plenty of great eateries to choose from.

Square Footage: 5,674 sq ft
