Linkinhorne, Callington, Cornwall, PL17

This impressive period home dates from the mid 19th century and occupies a proud and commanding position with far reaching countryside views. Our clients have enjoyed living at Tregrove House since 2010 and during their ownership have carried out numerous improvements including upgrading the kitchen, installing new bathrooms and rebuilding the conservatory. The property has also been thoughtfully reconfigured from a four bedroom home to a spacious three bedroom residence with a dressing room, creating generous and versatile living accommodation ideally suited to families or those working from home. The fourth bedroom could be recreated without difficulty.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming reception lobby with slate flooring and a separate cloakroom with high level WC. The snug provides a cosy and inviting space, complete with built in cupboards and an attractive stone and granite fireplace with inset gas fired stove. Leading from the inner hallway is the principal living room, a wonderfully light south facing space featuring a marble fireplace with inset multi fuel fire set on a slate hearth. Double multi paned doors open into the conservatory, which is fully UPVC double glazed with a tiled floor and direct access onto the patio. From here the exceptional views across the valley can be fully appreciated.

The dining room is generously proportioned with a very high ceiling giving the room a sense of space and ideal for entertaining, comfortably accommodating a large dining table. To the rear is a charming library area with a spiral staircase rising to a mezzanine study, providing an excellent work from home space. The kitchen has been finished to an excellent standard using locally sourced fittings. It offers a range of matching cupboards and units complemented by polished granite worktops and a Franke sink with mixer taps. A Redfyre oil fired Aga style oven provides both cooking and heating hot water. Integrated appliances include a Neff electric oven, induction hob, extractor fan and dishwasher, while a freestanding fridge/freezer is included in the sale. The kitchen also benefits from slate flooring and recessed LED lighting. A practical utility room with Belfast sink completes the ground floor accommodation.

The split level landing is an attractive feature and provides access to all three bedrooms as well as a useful boarded loft space. The principal bedroom has been enlarged to create a superb suite with engineered oak flooring. Within the suite is a well appointed dressing room fitted with an extensive range of cupboards and wardrobes. This space was previously a fourth bedroom and could easily be reinstated if required. The luxurious en-suite bathroom includes a large separate shower, premium sanitary ware, underfloor electric heating and a heated lamp. Bedrooms two and three are both comfortable doubles with fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two benefits from an en-suite WC, while bedroom three enjoys the same spectacular views as the principal bedroom over the Lynher Valley. A further WC and a separate shower room with mains fed shower and large tray are located on the half landing.

Heating within the property is provided by a combination of multi fuel and gas fired stoves, electric night storage heaters and the oil fired Redfyre Aga style oven. The house offers excellent storage throughout along with sash style UPVC double glazing and deep window cills. The property is tastefully decorated and presented to a high standard throughout and is offered for sale with no forward chain.

Externally, Tregrove House is approached via a sweeping concrete and gravel driveway providing ample parking and turning space for numerous vehicles. In front of the property is a useful store which houses the oil tank. There is also a substantial detached double garage with two up and over doors, power and lighting with further parking in front. Internal steps lead up to a studio area above which offers excellent potential for hobbies or workspace.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property. They are level and well sized, perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning far reaching views towards Caradon Hill and the glistening tops of Bodmin Moor including the Cheesewring. Immediately outside the conservatory is a well designed paved patio which provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining when the weather is kind, bordered by colourful flower beds.

A lawned area to the side includes mature pine trees and leads through two wrought iron gates into the formal gardens. These areas are richly planted with a variety of shrubs, bushes and perennials including camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias. There is also a productive garden area suitable for growing fresh produce along with a composting area.

The outdoor swimming pool is well enclosed by walls providing additional shelter and privacy. It is heated by solar panels on the garage roof together with a solar cover. Within the original stone piggery is the pool equipment and alongside is a useful general store.

The property lies in the heart of the Lynher Valley on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Within two miles there is a county primary school, public house and place of worship at Upton Cross and nearby Rilla Mill has further village facilities including a public house, village hall and access to walks along the river Lynher Valley.
