SITUATION :-
The property is situated in the rural hamlet of Ellbridge approximately one mile to the north of the village of Hatt, five miles from the larger towns of Saltash and Callington, and nine miles from Plymouth City centre, which is therefore within commuting distance via the Tamar Bridge at Saltash. The surrounding area is one of unspoilt farmland, and many country walks can be enjoyed without venturing far from the property. The Tamar Valley is renowned for its outstanding beauty, and the River Tamar is approximately two miles away. Both Callington and Saltash cater for most day to day needs, including varied shopping centres, Churches, schools, libraries and bus services. The Waitrose supermarket at Carkeel is within three miles. Sporting enthusiasts will also be aware that there are nearby golf courses at St. Mellion and the China Fleet Club at Saltash.
Historically we believe the 3 terraced cottages (numbers 2-4) were a former barn, and numbers 4 and 5 were a single Cottage - hence the name Long Barn Cottage. Parts of the deeds date back several hundred years, and the area it is built on, Telbrig, is mentioned in the Doomsday Book along with a dwelling (it is believed Telbrig has become Ellbridge). There are a number of characteristic quirks to the cottage, including old beams with ancient hooks (possibly from times when this part of the building was a piggery, granite pillars and lintels, and a former front door under the stairs from when the 2 cottages were one (ie numbers 4 & 5).
