Property description
PLEASE NOTE: The main photo shows the whole of the this very IMPRESSIVE three bedroom COTTAGE which in part dates back to the 17th century. We have been advised it was originally three cottages and one of them was the birthplace of the English Sculptor Neville Northey Burnard. The current owner has RESTORED and IMPROVED many features, most noticeably the windows and rendering, all in keeping with the character of a Grade II Listed home. Inside the improvements continue with electrical and plumbing work, upgraded kitchen with a range cooker. There is spacious accommodation over two floors with the living room and the master bedroom both measuring over 20' and truly highlight the period charm. Outside there is private off road parking, terraced low maintenance garden accessed from the parking area, kitchen or utility room and an extensive lawn garden with views across to the village church.
LOCATION & SITUATION:
Penpont Mill is located within this picturesque Cornish Moorland Village which has a post office/general stores, a stunning church which is situated a short walk from the property with a tower, known as The Cathedral on the Moor. Less than half a mile away is the adjacent hamlet of Five Lanes with its primary school and well respected public house, The Kings Head. From here there is direct access to the A30 trunk road, which links the cathedral cities of Truro and Exeter. The former market town of Launceston is 8 miles to the east with a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities. The majestic Bodmin Moor is within two miles, providing excellent equestrian and other outdoor pursuits including walking and reservoir sailing.
