A surprisingly large and well stocked garden is laid out over numerous levels and areas with an array of established fruit trees, raised planting beds and space to relax and dine Alfresco.

Believed to have been built in the early 1600s with some form of reworks completed in the mid 19th Century, this Cottage was once an important part of village life. It has the honour of having the original village Well on its doorstep.

Polyphant is famous for its exotic greenstone, that has been quarried here since Norman times. The village has an award winning village shop, Three Cows O'nt Green, which has a selection of everyday items, as well as serving Tamar Koffi. There is a beautiful village green, with benches and an old phone box now serving as a village book share. At the top of the hill is a small village church and hall, which hosts many village events throughout the year and just across the A30 in Lewannick is a Post Office and Stores, County Primary School and the Archer Arms public house. Launceston Town Centre itself boasts a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities. The A30 dual carriageway is approximately three minutes from the property, giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.
