Sellers insight

‘The family has lived here for many years, and it has been a happy home. The views and peace and quiet here are just lovely, and it will be a wrench to move away; so many happy memories come to mind, including an albino white ‘red’ kite, fox cubs and always the enjoyment of the great outdoor space on the doorstep.’

Step inside

Originally a barn, this charming and characterful semi-detached home enjoys a peaceful position at the end of a private shared track on Bodmin Moor, surrounded by beautiful countryside and enjoying far-reaching views. Having been cherished by the current owner for over 25 years, the property offers a wonderful sense of tranquillity and escape.

The spacious and versatile accommodation retains an abundance of character, including exposed A-frame beams, granite fireplaces and slate and tiled flooring.

The ground floor offers three reception rooms, including a generous dual-aspect lounge with multi-fuel burner and garden access, alongside a separate triple-aspect living room. An adjoining bedroom could alternatively serve as a home office or provide scope to enlarge the living space.

The kitchen/dining room features fitted units, integrated appliances and a solid fuel burner. Steps lead down to an impressive triple-aspect bar room, ideal for entertaining, formal dining or use as a games room, with access to the courtyard.

Two further ground-floor bedrooms include a generous double with an adjoining en-suite shower room, while a separate shower room also serves as a utility.

Upstairs, a light and airy landing leads to the principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, a further bedroom with Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, and a family bathroom.

With flexible accommodation, generous living spaces and an idyllic rural setting, this distinctive home is ideally suited to families or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat.

Step outside

The gardens and grounds of Margh and Davas Cottage are a particular feature, offering privacy, attractive landscaping and beautiful countryside views.

Double wooden five-bar gates open onto a generous parking area with space for approximately six vehicles. The main gardens extend predominantly to the rear, with split-level lawns bordered by mature shrubs, conifers, hydrangeas, rhododendrons and camellias. Various seating areas provide opportunities to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is also a cooking apple tree, space for further cultivation and a substantial garden shed/shelter.

Across the lane is an additional enclosed garden with established trees, shrubs and a wooden field shelter, providing access to the adjoining land. An open courtyard offers further outdoor space.

The property is particularly appealing to equestrian enthusiasts, benefiting from an outdoor grass schooling area and direct access onto Bodmin Moor for riding.

Approximately 11 acres of gently sloping, well-drained pasture are arranged across two adjoining enclosures, with the larger incorporating an attractive hand-dug pond.

Surrounded by wonderful scenery and an abundance of wildlife, including birds, foxes and moorland ponies, the grounds provide a peaceful rural setting with excellent opportunities for equestrian and outdoor pursuits.
