Branston Cottage is a freehold former foresters single storey property situated in the middle of Forest Plantation. It lies in a tranquil secluded and completely unique position at the end of a ¾ mile track through pine forests, which are abundant with wildlife including deer, fox, badger, pheasants, rabbits and a wide variety of birds. The cottage is only 3 mile drive from Lostwithiel with its shops which cater for day to day needs and a wealth of historic buildings, well known pubs and restaurants. Branston Cottage is also only 4 miles from the town of Bodmin with its shops, supermarkets, library, hospital, leisure centre and schools. Branston Forest is adjacent to Lanhydrock Estate (National Trust). The south coast beaches at Fowey are some 10 miles distant. Despite having no near neighbours and giving complete privacy, the property offers easy access to all main communication links with Cornwall and beyond. The main railway line from Paddington to Penzance is accessed at Bodmin Parkway, a pleasant 5 minutes walk. The main A30 dual carriageway linking to the M5 at Exeter is accessed at Bodmin.
