Property description
Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of an existing cottage and adjacent barn historically known as “Cottage Barn” & “Chall Barn”. The proposed accommodation will afford an entrance hallway, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, study, utility room, boot room and WC on the ground floor. Contiguous to the northern elevation will be a double garage. The first floor accommodation will afford a landing, family bathroom, four bedrooms, two of which will have an en- suite bathrooms and dressing room.
The architect’s impression gives an indication as to what can be created to the front of the property, which effectively will be a car standing area, along with contiguous lawns and garden with a patio off the dining room. On the southern side there will be a walled kitchen garden, which is an extremely attractive retained feature. On the eastern side is an orchard/paddock, which is well stocked with apple trees which are indigenous to the Tamar valley.
The property is situated close to the villages of Landrake and Tideford, just off the A38. The village of Landrake has a post office/general store, church, chapel, public house, primary school and active village hall. The village of Tideford also has a church, a popular butcher’s shop and the well-known public house, The Rod and Line, with an extensive menu of local produce including seafood and regular live music.
The nearby town of Saltash provides a wider range of independent and national retailers including Waitrose. To the east of Saltash and over the River Tamar, is the city of Plymouth, the principal retail centre to the west of Exeter and offering extensive facilities including theatres, multiplex cinema, popular Barbican area and the more recently developed restaurant area at the Royal William Yard. Plymouth also provides a ferry port to France and Spain.
The nearest airports are at Newquay and Exeter. For those who like outdoor pursuits, there is a wide variety of choice including the internationally renowned golf course at St Mellion, with the Jack Nicklaus course, along with the coastal courses at Whitsand Bay Golf Club and Bindown, near Looe.
The south Cornish coast is easily accessible with the popular resorts of Looe and Polperro having fishing, sailing and diving facilities, all within approximately 20 minutes driving distance. In the surrounding area there are horse riding activities, fishing lakes and yacht clubs at St Germans, Saltash and Plymouth. The surrounding area also has opportunities for clay pigeon and game shooting.
The property stands within a good size site, in the depths of the Cornish countryside and benefits from an adjoining orchard/paddock of approximately 1.8 acres.
COMMUNICATIONS
Communication links are good; the A38 links to the national motorway network at Exeter, which is approximately 50 miles distant. There is a direct rail link from Plymouth to London Paddington (approximately 3½ hours). Saltash also has its own railway station, as does Liskeard and St Germans to the west. The nearest International airport is at Exeter.
DESCRIPTION
The property affords two separate buildings, which are in close proximity and are historically known as Cottage Barn and Chall Barn.
