Having been the subject of extensive improvements and refurbishment and enhancing many original character features, this detached Cornish village cottage combines olde worlde charm with contemporary comforts. Steeped in history as far back as 1809, the cottage is believed to have once been a Bone Mill, the lintel for the original water wheel workings can be found to the rear. The bone meal was then used for fertilizing the local fields. More information can be found via the North Hill Parish Newsletter articles.

VENDORS COMMENT
We moved here almost 4 years ago and after restoring the cottage, reluctantly we are having to move due to work commitments. We were drawn to this beautiful home, hearing the delightful trickle of the stream running behind it. One of the first things that was confirmed to us by the previous vendor, was the fact that having lived in the cottage for over 30 years, she had never experienced any flooding. It never has since we have been here and subsequently our buildings insurance is low. We have dearly loved living here and hope that someone can continue the dream.

Offering flexible and versatile accommodation the property lends itself to those seeking a family home with potential for an Annexe, perhaps Airbnb, or for a dependent relative/teenager. The house could easily be divided if required, subject to any necessary consents. Or simply those looking for a village retreat. Having been beautifully refurbished, improvements have included a new kitchen, 2 newly fitted shower rooms, new flooring, reinstated front porch, newly installed combination boiler and oil tank, together with full redecoration internally and externally. Many features include exposed beams, deep sills, timber latch doors and exposed stone. Outside, the delightful gardens extend to the front and side offering pockets of sunshine or shade for sitting out. An off road parking area also provides bin/recycling storage and useful garden store sheds. The stream to the rear is a tributary to the River Lynher.

Location - The hamlet of Bathpool is situated in the Lynher valley on the south-east fringe of Bodmin Moor about 5 miles north-west of Callington and only 9 miles from Launceston. Launceston benefits from facilities including several supermarkets, schools and well-regarded local butchers, bakers and greengrocers. Launceston also plays host to the Launceston Butter Market which is held on the 1st Saturday of every month from March to December in the town square. The market is an excellent place to browse the stalls and purchase local produce, gifts and cards. Callington, also a busy town, is 7 miles from Saltash providing good links via the Tamar Bridge to Plymouth.
