Bodmin, Cornwall, PL30

Positioned in a super private location with no near neighbours and along a private entrance lane surrounded by its own land. Close by is the sought-after moorland village of Blisland boasting a Grade I listed church, with Norman origins; characterful village inn, village hall and community run shop and post office.

Beyond Blisland are the wide expanses of the mystical Bodmin Moor, a granite moorland area providing endless walking, outriding and leisure opportunities. Perhaps best known for Brown Willy the highest point in Cornwall and its sister tor, Rough Tor.

Landabethick sits virtually centrally within the county, with access to both the north and south coasts, which have an abundance of sandy beaches, picturesque coastal villages and towns including Padstow, Polzeath, Rock and Looe and the coastal footpaths.

The main arterial route throughout Cornwall, the A30, is a short drive (5 minutes), which provides easy access east and west, with the nearest town being Bodmin, the former county town, providing an extensive range of facilities and a mainline railway station. Regional airports are found at Newquay and Exeter, approximately 21 and 60 miles driving distance respectively.

Landabethick provides splendid isolation and privacy, yet is easily accessible to local infrastructure, facilities and leisure pursuits. Noting the property has not been on the open market for well over 50 years represents an opportunity not to be missed.

The House
The history of Landabethick House is lost in the midst of time, although its origins are believed to be from the 1700s, comprising an ancient farmstead. The principal stone house has been extended and now comprising extensive living accommodation (approximately 3,091 sq ft) over two floors. The accommodation is mostly south westerly facing, making the most of the country views over its own land and ancient woodland.

An Entrance Hallway provides access to the Sitting Room and Living Room with Conservatory beyond. Doors provide access to an outside Sun Terrace. Also on the ground floor is a Cloakroom, Kitchen, Breakfast Room and Utility Room.
The first floor is arranged to provide the Master Bedroom with Dressing Room and En Suite, Family Bathroom, Cloakroom and Five further Bedrooms (one currently utilised as a study).

Outside
Landabethick is approached along its own tarmac entrance lane, leading to the rear of the house, which provides parking and access to an adjoining Integral Garage. Extensive lawns surround the property, with access to the suntrap terrace at the front of the house; an excellent place to soak up the extensive country views.

The Buildings
Of particular note is the opportunity to utilise outbuildings for alternative uses (subject to the necessary planning consents).

The two principal stone with slate roof Barns (one single storey and one with loft over) currently providing general garden and domestic storage. Beyond these is a converted former farm building, now providing a Large Garage and Workshop with roller door; ideal for storage of your mobile home, caravan, classic car, or conversion for equestrian use. Located at the entrance to the farm is a further single storey stone with corrugated roof Building and Yard Area providing storage.

The Land
Landabethick extends to some 77.11 acres, with the house and buildings situated centrally within the land, ensures absolute privacy. There is approximately 37 acres of mostly gently undulating pasture and arable land. Beyond this, is the woodland, with pretty stream frontage, providing ample wood for your open fire or woodburner. The principal aspect of the house looks over its own land, particularly towards Higher Coldrinnick Wood, located on the opposite side of the valley. Higher Coldrinnick Wood is an ancient woodland, largely undisturbed for many hundreds of years, ownership of which ensuring complete control of the vista from the house. The Camel Trail, well known for walking and cycling, is accessible a short distance beyond, via a private right of way along a Forestry Commission track.
