Bodmin, Cornwall, PL30

Approached over a private shared stone lane and set within its own mature grounds extending to approximately 1.75 acres, Kirland Manor is an elegant Grade II listed Georgian country residence of considerable charm and presence, enjoying a wonderfully secluded yet accessible countryside position on the edge of Bodmin

This house is rich in period character and architectural detail, with many original features retained throughout. These include sash windows, ceiling cornicing and mouldings, panelled doors, window seats, slate flagstone floors, original ironwork and an impressive selection of stone fireplaces. Over the years the property has benefited from a programme of upgrading and improvement, including a refitted kitchen and bathrooms in 2023, while remaining true to its Georgian origins.

The accommodation extends to approximately 3,954 square feet and is arranged over three floors. A welcoming reception hall with solid wood flooring and turning staircase leads to the principal reception rooms. These include a generous drawing room with wood-burning stove and adjoining office or study, alongside a formal dining room with a wide stone fireplace and access to the inner halls, walk-in larder and utility room.

To the rear of the house, the kitchen is fitted in a shaker style with slate flooring, ceramic sink, Quooker boiling water tap and integrated appliances. Beyond lies a boot room and a characterful family room with exposed ceiling timbers and a further wood-burning stove, creating a comfortable everyday living space. An elevated former apple store, with restricted ceiling height, provides a flexible additional room suitable for hobbies, occasional accommodation or home working.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing and includes a principal bedroom suite with southerly outlook, walk-in dressing room and en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, along with an airing room and additional storage. On the second floor are two further bedrooms set within the roof space, both generous in size and benefiting from eaves storage.

To the rear of the house sits a detached, self-contained annexe offering a bedroom, living room, kitchenette and shower room, ideal for guests, extended family or ancillary accommodation.

Outside, the grounds are a particular feature. A gravelled in-and-out driveway sweeps around the front of the house and continues east through an area of deciduous woodland to a garage building. The gardens include open lawns with outlooks over neighbouring meadowland, walled gardens with seating areas, orchard and woodland with fine mature trees. A contemporary heated outdoor swimming pool with electric cover is positioned to one side, offering an excellent leisure and entertaining space.

The property has been vacant for a period and would now benefit from a degree of maintenance and refreshing, presenting an excellent opportunity for an incoming purchaser to enhance and personalise this substantial country house while building upon the improvements already undertaken.

Kirland Manor enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently placed for Bodmin and the A30, providing access across Cornwall and to both north and south coastlines.

A great opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful Georgian country residence with annexe, grounds and leisure facilities, offering scope to create a truly exceptional home
