The following is a quotation from the home owners:
“Having both left high pressured jobs overseas, we were looking for a place that gave us the space and serenity while still working part-time, especially the great annex that provides a separate space for working from home/hobbies. This property has achieved that and more.
The fabulous views of Sharptor, the Cheesewring and Caradon Hill first thing in the morning lifts the spirit and makes you smile.
The added attraction is the easy access to north Cornwall beaches, Plymouth, Exeter and Truro, as well as, the local market towns, Liskeard and Launceston.
This coupled with neighbours that are always ready to help, but are not intrusive, has made the last 10 years very enjoyable and restful.
The property has provided amazing worklife balance for us and family members.”
