There are also club facilities, a café, and seasonal camping available, making this an ideal location for those seeking an active outdoor lifestyle in a beautiful rural setting.
DESCRIPTION This impressive stone and granite built character property offers a wonderful blend of charm, space, and flexibility, perfectly suited to modern family life. With up to five bedrooms and versatile accommodation throughout, Willow Cottage is a home designed for families to grow, gather and enjoy countryside living at a more relaxed pace. Originally believed to date back to the late 1800's and substantially extended in later years, the property sits behind a traditional Cornish stone wall with five bar gates with an enclosed gravelled driveway parking area giving the property an immediately welcoming yet private feel. The sunlounge style porch creates the perfect everyday entrance, ideal for muddy boots, dogs, coats, and all the practicalities that come with an active family lifestyle.
Inside, the heart of the home is a warm and characterful day room centred around a wood-burning stove set within an attractive stone fireplace with a striking granite lintel, a cosy space for winter evenings, family gatherings, or quiet moments after a day exploring the surrounding countryside and lake. The recently refitted kitchen combines classic shaker-style cabinetry with sociable modern living, featuring a breakfast bar where family and friends can gather for morning coffee, casual meals, or conversation while cooking. The flexible reception spaces allow the home to adapt easily to different stages of family life, whether creating dedicated dining areas, playrooms, home-working spaces, or additional snug and sitting rooms.
The generous layout also offers exciting potential for multigenerational living or the creation of a self-contained annexe (subject to any necessary consents). This flexibility makes the property equally appealing for families with older children, dependent relatives, visiting guests, or those seeking space to work from home.
Practical features including a ground floor w.c and utility area further enhance the ease of day-to-day living, while the overall atmosphere of the property remains warm, inviting, and full of character.
