DESCRIPTION Tremayle Cottage is a lovingly cared for and exceedingly pretty detached cottage situated on the quiet rural fringes of the sought after village of Nanstallon. The property has been upgraded and extended over the course of time to provide cosy character accommodation but with generous room sizes and good ceiling heights. Packed with character the property has exposed beamed ceilings, timber boarded floors, feature fireplaces and indeed much of what would be expected from a Cornish country cottage. Modern features include a lovely fitted kitchen, oil fired central heating and also a very good photovoltaic solar array which produces an appreciable income and is fully owned and included in the sale. Tremayle Cottage is accessed via a flight of steps to the attractive glazed timber entrance porch, to the dining room full of character with Inglenook fireplace and an open doorway

leads through to the large well fitted kitchen/breakfast room with oil fired Aga and door to the rear hallway/utility area also leading to the ground floor bathroom/wc fitted with a white contemporary suite. There is also an inner hallway which gives access to the large separate wc with wash basin but it is considered that this room would give ample scope for a further shower room/bathroom. The siting room is a lovely dual aspect room with feature fireplace, timber boarded floor, beamed ceiling, etc., and double doors lead to a more recently added garden room/conservatory – 10’6” x 9’ fully double glazed with doors to the garden. On the first floor there is a landing with wide plank floors and three bedrooms all of which have character and enjoy a lovely outlook. Externally the property enjoys a plot of around ⅓ of an acre and is very diverse with lower tarmacadam parking area and timber garage/workshop building. The gardens themselves are gently sloping and form many different areas enjoying a high degree of privacy including paved walkways and terrace, fish pond, vegetable garden and has the additional benefit of lapsed planning permission for a further detached dwelling within the gardens and we believe the main significance of this is the potential to provide a further dwelling for a relative or alternatively for holiday letting purposes although planning permission would need to be reinstated. There is also a stone built outbuilding currently used as an artist’s studio. A lovely character home in a very special edge of village location with easy access to surrounding beautiful countryside.

LOCATION This beautiful detached cottage is situated in the picturesque and sought after village of Nanstallon which lies between the towns of Bodmin and Wadebridge and close to the village of Lanivet. Nanstallon has a well regarded primary school, a village hall, a Methodist chapel, and an Anglican church and has an attractive village community running many community events. The nearby village of Lanivet has a local post office/stores and a public house. The ancient town of Bodmin is a short drive away providing a wide range of high street shops, out of town trading estates and supermarkets, a secondary school and a mainline railway station that provides a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours.

There are local Angling Clubs on the rivers Fowey and Camel and the Camel Trail which runs on the end of the village provides a cycling/walking and riding path towards the coast at Padstow and Wadebridge and up onto Bodmin Moor.

OUTSIDE Access to the property is gained either via double vehicular gates to a wide tarmacadam parking area with space for a number of vehicles or from a pedestrian gate to a slate pathway further up the hill. Although just situated on the very edge of the village, the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and are quite diverse being laid out in different areas with slate paved terrace and walkways, fish pond, wide cultivated areas and also areas of lawn. Part of the gardens have been enclosed to form a chicken run and it is this area that forms the subject of a previous application for planning consent to build a detached house which was in fact granted but has now lapsed. It highly likely that this may be reinstated subject to consultation and further application to Cornwall County Council Planning Authority, this area could of course be reinstated to provide a further large formal garden area. Adjacent to the large parking and tarmaced area there is a large timber building distinctly subdivided into:GARAGE – 15’4” x 8’6”. Double doors to a workshop 15’6” X 15’. Further glazed door to the side. Light and power connected. This area could also be reconverted to garaging if required.
