Holmbush, Callington, Cornwall, PL17

This delightful three bedroom character cottage is a true gem, situated in a serene valley setting that offers country views and a peaceful lifestyle.

Our clients added the spacious UPVC double glazed conservatory to the front of the cottage, to enhance the year round enjoyment of the views over the garden towards the other side of the valley. The range of period features, including exposed beams, stone/granite fireplaces, and wooden floors, can be found throughout. The spacious family room, to the rear, has a vaulted ceiling, with exposed 'A' frame timbers and a wood burning stove whilst the living room has a very cottagey feel, with a beam ceiling and wood burner set in the fireplace, with a granite mantel and clome oven.

The kitchen/diner is a focal point of the home, featuring modern appliances, ample storage, and a breakfast bar set in front of the oil-fired Rayburn, which provides ambient warmth. An additional clome oven features in the recess behind the Rayburn. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a useful boot room/study and a practical utility room.

There are two staircases in the cottage - one set of stairs lead to the master bedroom, with plenty of built in storage, with doors opening onto a small balcony, offering views of the garden. The second double bedroom and bathroom are located here as well whilst, off the other staircase, is an independent third bedroom with a neighbouring shower room/WC, ideal for guests or teenagers.

Windows are UPVC double glazed and warmth is provided by oil fired central heating, in addition to the wood burners and the Rayburn.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive. The just under 5.75 acres of land include well maintained gardens with lawns, well stocked flowerbeds, a water feature and a generous, sun trap patio. The paddock, currently a wildflower meadow, attracts a variety of wildlife and adds to the property's rural charm but also adds a practical use to buyers who have animals or want that outdoor lifestyle. The well-stocked orchard is a delight for those who enjoy homegrown produce, featuring a variety of fruit trees including a range of eater and cooker apples and cherry. There is a woodland walk, leading to parcel of woodland, which is relatively untouched, with a stream boundary.

Practical features include a double garage and ample parking space, ensuring convenience for residents and visitors alike. The garage could be used as a large two car garage, workshop, studio, or games room and has power, lighting, water and a wood burning stove for heating. This character cottage is a rare find, offering a perfect blend of character features in an exceptional natural setting.
