SITUATION This period home is located in Calstock. Calstock, forming part of the Tamar Valley National Landscape (AONB), has an active arts and musical community and regularly hosts live music events and art shows. It is also a former inland port on the tidal path of the River Tamar, now enjoyed by sailing enthusiasts who use the quay and mooring facilities, with the village enjoying a good community spirit and a regular, 35-minute train service to the City of Plymouth. Those with an interest in sailing or other waterborne pursuits, such as kayaking or paddleboarding, should take particular note; there are community moorings and a nearby boatyard, with tidal access to Plymouth Sound, approx. 12 nautical miles downriver. Within 10 minutes' walk of the house is a wildlife nature reserve, The River Tamar Walkway and Wetland Project, and there are various other footpaths, walks and trails within close proximity, including to Cotehele House and Estate, a notable local National Trust property.
