One end comprises a large sitting room with a multi fuel burning stove in a granite chimney breast and double glazed sliding doors opening onto a large raised decked balcony providing stunning views over the surrounding fields and woodland. The other side of the reception is a large kitchen/dining room with an oak fitted kitchen, integrated appliances and ample room for a large table and chairs. The entire room has a 10’ high vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and from the kitchen area there is a door into a utility room and a separate cloakroom. From the utility room a timber stable door opens onto steps returning to the gardens. The property is set within a generous garden of approximately ⅓ of an acre which backs and sides onto open fields and from its elevated west facing position the property enjoys the best of the daily sun. A beautifully light position directly overlooking mature woodland. The gardens are divided into tiered lawns whilst the gravelled driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads along the side of the property to a large detached double garage. LOCATION The parish of Warleggan is a fairly small one as moorland parishes go – only 2,800 acres with boundaries largely formed by the three rivers, Dewy, the Fowey and the Bedalder, Warleggan is a much sought after village due to the unspoilt nature of the surrounding countryside and this property holds a particularly desirable position within the parish set on an elevated west facing slope backing and siding on to open fields and looking over mature woodland. Down below, within easy earshot from the grounds and house, the River Bedalder hurries through the bottom of the valley to join the River Fowey. Together with the adjoining village of Mount the parish of Warleggan boasts a lively community with a variety of locally inspired activities in the village hall at Mount, notable a Friday shop and café, Pilates classes and the hall also acts as a valued meeting place for local residents.
