SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
A comfortable detached period house with four bedrooms and large reception rooms plus a separate detached two bedroom cottage and some useful outbuildings located in the hamlet of St Anns Chapel, in the picturesque Tamar Valley, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The house affords spacious and well-proportioned family sized living accommodation with rooms arranged over two floors benefitting from UPVC double glazing and electric heating. There are some attractive period features including beamed ceilings, joinery work and fireplaces, particularly in the sitting room where there is a large, woodburning stove.

In addition to the main house, within the grounds there is a detached two bedroom cottage which shares the main driveway but has its own private parking area. Currently this is let and producing a useful income of approximately £7260 including a payment for metered water or alternatively the cottage would be suitable for use by dependent relatives, for dual family living.

The house and cottage stand in large formal gardens and land totalling approximately two acres with formal gardens surrounding the house and a gentle sloping lawn above. If required, an area could easily be fenced for keeping one pony or other livestock.

OUTSIDE
The house stands alongside the A390 road in the hamlet of St Anns Chapel. At the front of the house there is a grass verge and dry stone wall with a gate leading to a level front garden which has been gravelled for ease of maintenance with flowering plants and shrubs adding a burst of colour.

A concrete drive at the side of the house leads to a five barred gate which provides vehicular access to the detached double garage, driveway and the cottage parking area.

The large garden at the rear of the house is a particularly attractive feature. Along the back of the house and around the side there is a paved terrace and seating area, complete with timber built cabana and BBQ area, (and a sauna) perfect for outdoor eating and entertaining.

Beyond is the productive kitchen garden complete with aluminium framed greenhouse (8’ x 6’) and a timber built potting shed “12’ x 8’) with power and light supply. There are several mains cold water taps dotted around, for watering plants or cleaning the car.

Beyond the driveway, the remainder of the garden is gently sloping and predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with specimen plants, trees and shrubs providing an attractive array of seasonal colour. In addition, it should be noted that this area is large enough to support light grazing by sheep or other livestock or may be suitable for a pony. From almost any spot within the garden, there are super views over the Tamar Valley.

A useful array of outbuildings includes a detached double garage with up and over door and courtesy door to side with power and light. Above the garage, accessed from the rear, is a useful store room which could be used for other purposes, such as a home office, if needed.
At the top of the garden, discreetly tucked away and out of sight, there is a detached barn and tractor shed. This also could be put to a variety of uses but is currently used as dry storage and to store the ride on mower.

In addition, there is a detached timber built chalet, which probably enjoys the best views on the property, and has been much enjoyed by the owners’ family. It includes a large verandah, lounge, bedroom and kitchen.
