Glynn, Bodmin, Cornwall

Originally the centre of one of Cornwall’s grandest historic estates and divided into several impressive units in the mid-1990s, Glynn House is an imposing rendered midlate 18th century mansion. Dating from 1833, Vivian’s Wing offers almost 2,200 sq. ft. of light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors and has been sensitively modernised to combine modern amenities with period features. These include very large sash windows with some original shuttering, high ceilings with fine cornicing and original fireplaces.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with quarry tiled flooring, useful storage and cloakroom and provides a spacious sitting room with feature open fireplace, and a generous kitchen/breakfast room with a range of base units and wooden worktops. On the first floor the property offers two spacious double bedrooms, one with window seating and both with feature cast iron fireplaces, and a large family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The wide corridor on this first floor benefits from leading to a doorway to a private area, of which is ideal for a home office or an additional small bedroom.

Vivian's Wing enjoys its own private garden and peaceful wooded area, located opposite the ornate metal gate to the central courtyard. The property has two designated parking spaces, allocated in the main parking area.

The property sits in an idyllic private setting overlooking the River Fowey and the Glynn Valley at the heart of Cornwall, within easy reach of the rugged cliffs and surf of the north coast at Newquay and the sailing waters of Fowey on the south coast. Nearby Bodmin offers a good range of day-to-day amenities including high street and boutique shopping, services and primary and secondary schooling. More extensive amenities are available in Truro and Plymouth. Communications links are excellent: the nearby A30 links to the rest of the county, Bodmin Parkway station offers regular trains to Paddington in less than 4 hours and Newquay and Exeter Airports have a growing number of national and international flights, including daily flights from Exeter to London City Airport. The area offers a good selection of independent schools including St. Joseph’s, Fountain Head House, Polwhele House, Truro and Truro High School for Girls.
