Property description
This is a quirky two bed mid terraced cottage with many interesting features and further comprises lounge, dining room, kitchen, sun room, bathroom, landscaped rear garden, parking, and use of the timber built garage. The cottage is part of a larger barn conversion which was completed in 1975 from one of the former barns belonging to Sitcott Farm.
This property is in a quiet rural location approximately a quarter mile from the popular village of St. Giles-On-The-Heath which conveniently lies halfway between Launceston and Holsworthy and just 5 miles from the A30 dual carriageway. The village boasts a sub post office / general store, Pint & Post public house, village hall, church and a well regarded County Primary School.
Launceston, on the Cornwall / Devon border enjoys a good balance of travel distance to all parts of the two Counties by virtue of the nearby A30 dual carriageway spine road. Eastwards (42 miles) is the city of Exeter providing intercity rail link, international airport and M5 motorway link. Southwards (28 miles) is the city of Plymouth providing continental ferry port and intercity rail link.
In all directions from the proeprty there is scenery of outstanding natural beauty, be it the rugged coastline famed for popular family surfing beaches and picturesque former fishing villages to the north, or to the west the open expanses of Bodmin Moor ideal for walking and riding. To the east is Dartmoor National Park and running southwards is the hidden secrets of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history.
