The Property - Meneage Cottage is set on the northern edge of Talskiddy and stands amidst gardens and grounds of around 2.5 acres with lovely rural views.
The property comprises an original character cottage, constructed of vernacular materials, along with a striking curved extension that has created a truly individual country house.

The cosy dining room has an open beam ceiling whilst the generous dual aspect sitting room features a substantial granite fireplace with wood burning stove.

Property information from this agent
About this agent
Stags are delighted to announce the opening of their 20th office in the Estuary town of Wadebridge. Located at No. 1 Eddystone Court, our office will be perfectly positioned to handle the sale of property on the Camel Estuary and North Cornish coast from Mawgan Porth, through the seven bays south of Padstow, Rock, Polzeath and onwards to Port Isaac, including the sought after villages of St. Tudy, St Teath and St Mabyn. The office will be managed by Guy Parsons. It was Surrey-born Guy’s great love of the West Country that drew him back after a 20-year absence spent working in London and abroad. Guy, who was educated in Somerset, finally returned to his roots in 2009 when he joined Stags’ Launceston office. As an Associate Partner of the firm, Guy’s commercial and sales experience has been of enormous benefit to Stags and their clients with his extensive knowledge of both the coastal and country property market. Guy is a keen surfer and enjoys spending time on the beach with his wife, two children and two dogs. Guy is joined in the new office by Sarah Powell. Sarah grew up near Fowey and has always had a passion for property. She has a background working for national developers in a legal and sales capacity. More recently she has worked in residential estate agency in Somerset and is now delighted to be part of the Stags team in Wadebridge. With a competitive international sailing background, her enthusiasm for negotiating sales on both coastal and countryside properties will be an asset to the new office. In her spare time, Sarah is a keen skier and sailor.
