SITUATION
Bradworthy 3 miles * Bude 8 miles * Holsworthy 8 miles * North Cornish Coast 8 miles
The house sits in a prominent position with excellent views south over the Lower Tamar Lake, renowned for its coarse fishery and wild bird sanctuary. The Upper Lake has a thriving sailing and windsurfing club ideal for visitors to the holiday let(s).
Bradworthy is a pretty and sought-after village with an excellent primary school, a variety of day-to-day shops, a doctor's surgery, village hall, local inn and a hotel. Additionally there is a football and bowls club.
The North Cornish coastline is within a few miles. Popular coastal locations such as Sandymouth, Duckpool, Coombe Valley, Stanbury Mouth and Hartland Quay are all within 10 miles.
North Devon is a particularly unspoilt area of the country, which is rural and quiet yet great for visitors with the popular seaside resort of Bude being 8 miles away. There are some good facilities here including a secondary school and various large supermarkets.
Access to the A30 dual carriageway at Launceston is about 23 miles away, providing easy access west into Cornwall and east to Exeter and the national motorway network.
From Exeter the fast train to London Paddington takes just 2 hours and offers a very regular service. Exeter International Airport is also a very viable alternative to Bristol and the London Airports for most European international flights.
DESCRIPTION
The property is believed to date back to the Georgian period, although the oldest part of the farmhouse dates back much further, and briefly comprises: Front entrance hall, rear entrance hall, drawing room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, master bedroom with en suite, 5 further bedrooms (2 en-suite), 2 further bath/shower rooms.
The package offers great income potential together with extensive outbuildings in a rural setting with far reaching countryside views. The house has been very well maintained and incorporates features such as wood burners downstairs and large, south facing windows looking down towards the Lower Tamar Lake.
The holiday cottage, known as the Calf Barn, creates a useful income and has been fully fitted and furnished. It has been popular with holidaymakers and can achieve £300-600 per week. There are 2 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and a large open-plan sitting/dining room and kitchen, which is ideal for socialising.
The further large barn, which has planning permission for 5 more holiday cottages, has undergone substantial work to prepare it for the fit-out stage. The roof has been replaced, much of the pointing re-done and part of the walls rebuilt. Services have been laid into the barn, too, so it is ready for internal fit-out.
The extensive range of modern, general purpose outbuildings, equating to about 16,000 sq ft, are a real asset and are all in excellent order. In addition, there is a licensed 50 cover restaurant with a well-equipped professional kitchen and the potential and provision to increase capacity to 100 covers. There is also a retail shop. The buildings are, however, ideal for any number of business opportunities and could even be leased if the buyer would rather take a back seat and yet still have an income.
The location of the campsite (which has been approved and has a licence from the Caravan Club) is to the side of the plot and cannot be seen from the main house. It has all the appropriate facilities such as electrical sockets, a male and female toilet and shower block.
