Altarnun, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

Lower Tregrenna would be a dream come true for buyers looking to establish a small holding or equestrian set up within walking/horse riding distance of Bodmin Moor but only approximately one mile from the A30 dual carriageway. Our vendors are moving reluctantly on to pastures new. Over their eight years of ownership they have enjoyed living and working in this tranquil spot with a total area of about half an acre. They have established an array of raised plant beds over a former ménage. The stable block has been re-roofed and is currently used as a dry storage space but is designed to accommodate horses or other animals. There is also a hard standing and plenty of off road parking on a gravelled drive. Closer to the house, the rest of the garden is landscaped and planted with established trees, shrubs and seating areas. A detached garage and further parking can be accessed from the lane via a five bar gate. The timber garage has been used in recent times as an office and art studio.

The pretty, stone built detached former coach house was converted approximately 18 years ago into a two story cottage that is extremely light and airy due to the recent addition of full, bi-folding doors opening from both the kitchen/dining room and living room. Whether fully opened or completely closed there is a feeling of space and connection with the garden from the entire ground floor of the home.

Inside, heating is provided by an externally positioned oil boiler. The kitchen enjoys an array of basic, painted units situated both above and below a roll top working surface. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine. There is ample space in this room for a dining table and chairs and other freestanding furniture. The living room is also light and spacious with a staircase ascending to the first floor which accommodates two bedrooms, both enjoying plenty of eave enclosed storage and some restricted head room, along with roof light windows. The bathroom offers a white matching suite with a shower and glass screen situated over the panelled bath and a heated towel rail.

The property is in the Parish and within a couple of miles from Altarnun which is arguably one of the most attractive villages in north Cornwall. The village has the church of St. Nonna at the centre, which is known as the "Cathedral on the Moors". The church tower is one of the tallest in the county and has the attractive watercourse of Penpont Water at its foot trickling by. Village facilities in Altarnun include a Post Office and general store, county primary school, Parish Church and at Five Lanes the King's Head public house has an excellent local reputation for bar food. The village hall has plenty of clubs and associations including an active indoor bowls club, local amateur dramatics, local history group as well as for the younger generation the village has a youth group and brownies. For those with outdoor interests, the rugged terrain of Bodmin Moor can be reached easily offering miles and miles of open terrain, a real haven for dog walkers, climbers, hikers and indeed horse riders.

The A30 dual carriageway which is positioned within two miles from the property runs to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction. Regarded as the 'Gateway to Cornwall' the market town of Launceston has a range of educational, recreational, commercial and leisure facilities, as well as a Norman castle and attractive town centre. For further communications the Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately 50 miles distance, or about an hour’s drive and has a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as access to the M5 motorway, mainland rail network to London (Paddington) and further north. Exeter is served by an excellent regional international airport. The continental ferry port and city of Plymouth is approximately 27 miles from the property and again offers extensive facilities as well as regular cross channel ferry services to France and Spain.
