The accommodation includes three reception rooms and a large conservatory with three/four bedrooms. Outside the extensive and interesting grounds of about 5.35 acres include extensive areas of mature shrubs and trees, as well as large areas of pasture, an arboretum and orchard area and mature bluebell and natural wildflower wooded area at the top of the grounds, where the full view to Bodmin Moor can be enjoyed at their best.
