Property description
This is a traditional two storey stone and brick solid walled cottage under pitched roof with natural slate roof (recently renewed) and vertically slated gables (also recently undertaken). The brick chimneys have been rebuilt in recent years.
The property has oil fired central heating installed in July 2011 with an external oil fired boiler. Hot water is by electric emersion.
The property has fantastic scope for enhancement and extension, with a site to merit improvement and enlargement. Consent has been obtained to relocate the position of the current access driveway westwards (PA15/00464). This will create the feeling of exclusivity to the property with ample scope for the construction of parking, garaging and turning space.

To the west are the open spaces of Bodmin Moor ideal for walking and riding, to the east is Dartmoor National Park, and to the south the hidden secrets of the Tamar Valley steeped in 17th century mining history.
