Property description
SITUATION
The property occupies a well wooded south facing sun trap location near the River Carey. St. Giles-On-The-Heath is within approximately 1 mile and provides post office / store, public house and primary school.
At St. Giles, the A388 gives good access north to the market town of Holsworthy and south to the ancient Cornish capital of Launceston, itself astride the A30 dual carriageway for Cornwall and Devon.
Beyond Launceston, Exeter (some 42 miles) provides intercity rail link, M5 motorway link and expanding international airport.
In all directions from the property there is scenery of outstanding natural beauty be it the rugged coastline famed for popular family surfing beaches and picturesque former fishing villages to the north, the open expanses of Bodmin Moor ideal for walking and riding to the west. To the east is Dartmoor National Park and running southwards are the hidden secrets of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century.
