SITUATION The property is nestled within the historic and rural Hamlet of Botternell on the eastern foothills of Bodmin Moor and lies almost equidistance from Liskeard and Launceston. Both towns offer an excellent and diverse range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The A30 at Launceston connects the Cathedral cities of Truro and Exeter, whilst the mainline railway station at Liskeard provides access to Plymouth and London.
DESCRIPTION A traditional yet sympathetically converted single storey barn conversion, understood to have originally formed part of the former Duchy of Cornwall Botterell Farmstead and subsequently converted to residential use around the turn of the Century. The property adjoins another converted barn and sits alongside a handful of sympathetically converted properties with well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged accommodation, showcasing character features with modern day conveniences. In particular, the property has been improved both decoratively and practically, with the installation of a new oil-fired Aga, a newly fitted kitchen, replacement flooring and redecoration throughout. Period features remain a particular highlight, including exposed A-frame timbers, sections of exposed granite walling and attractive original niche windows. A freestanding multi-fuel stove and oil-fired central heating further enhance the overall comfort of the home.
ACCOMMODATION A welcoming entrance hall with terracotta tiled flooring has an airing cupboard with shelving and separate door to the rear garden. The kitchen/dining room is of a generous size, enjoying a vaulted ceiling and providing ample space for a dining table, making it well suited for both everyday living and entertaining. This room has been notably enhanced by the recently installed kitchen, polished work surfaces, new flooring and an oil fired Aga. There is an integrated electric oven with gas hob and built in dishwasher. To the rear of the kitchen is a separate utility room with ample space and plumbing for white goods, along with a separate cloakroom. The sitting room boasts a vaulted ceiling with further exposed timbers, a multifuel stove and doors to the rear garden.
