Sandways, Calstock, Cornwall

Wonderful lifestyle property with four/five-bedroom home and approximately three and a half acres of formal gardens, paddock, orchards and woodland as well as a large sixty-foot greenhouse.   The current owners have enjoyed establishing a delightful hidden paradise with chickens, bees and an abundance of fruit and vegetables as well as river views over the Tamar from the land.  The paddock could allow for additional livestock if desired.  This is a rare opportunity for those wanting a chance to be almost self-sufficient. 

This versatile property offers 4/5 bedrooms and there is a large loft offering further scope, subject to the necessary consents.  A covered storm porch leads into a large L-shaped hallway off which are a sitting room and separate dining room leading to a conservatory, all enjoying a southerly aspect.  There is a kitchen with a walk-in pantry, a utility, family bathroom and two ensuite bathrooms along with a further cloakroom/WC.  The bungalow feels light and airy throughout and the integral garage workshop offers the potential to create an annexe for a dependent relative if required (subject to the necessary consents and permissions).

The property sits in approximately 3.5 acres with a useful range of outbuildings including a large greenhouse approximately 10’6 x 59’10”, large storage shed, His & Hers toilet block, garden/games room 19’8” x 17’7” with additional machine store 6’7” x 18’1” and hay store 10’0” x 18’1” and a chicken run.  To the side of the hay store are five large rainwater reservoir storage tanks which are used to supply the greenhouse and various areas of the gardens.  There are formal gardens to the front and the side of the bungalow which offer a well planted and established flower and shrub beds and borders, with various seating areas, a summerhouse, a large wildlife pond, pergola and seating.  Directly to the front of the property is a large, paved area with granite seating enjoying a southerly aspect and offering a good degree of privacy and seclusion.  Beyond this is a large former commercial greenhouse, two orchards, a large and productive fruit and vegetable area, as well as paddock and woodland which has a pleasant walk through, and certain areas have been set aside to encourage a broad variety of wildlife.  Once in the gardens, one feels completely private, and the land enjoys a southerly aspect over the Tamar River and valley.
