Freehold

An idyllic and secluded riverside small country estate set within approximately 4 acres of gardens, paddock, woodland and natural habitat, enjoying a long south-facing frontage to the beautiful River Lynher with private fishing rights. Comprising a substantial and beautifully extended four-bedroom principal residence, a Grade II Listed one-bedroom cottage and a stylish converted barn studio, Wagmuggle offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity with income potential, multi-generational flexibility and scope for self-sufficiency.


The Setting

With no near neighbours and nestled within the Lynher Valley Area of Great Landscape Value, Wagmuggle occupies a wonderfully private and peaceful position in unspoilt Cornish countryside. The property enjoys far-reaching views towards the dramatic landscape of Bodmin Moor, including Sharptor, and lies just outside the International Dark Sky designation, renowned for clear starlit skies.

Despite its rural tranquillity, the property is well placed for access to Callington (3.5 miles), Liskeard (7 miles), Launceston (12 miles), Saltash (13 miles) and Plymouth (18 miles), with the A30 and A38 within easy reach. The Tamar Valley, Kit Hill Country Park, Whitsand Bay and the South Cornish Coast are all close at hand, offering outstanding opportunities for walking, riding, water sports and outdoor pursuits.
