3 bedroom house

This farmhouse known as Taylor Shop is believed to date back to the 18th century and was originally part of the nearby Whiteford estate. Our client understands that it was privately owned for the first time 100 years or so ago. The property has an active agricultural history as demonstrated by the many barns and buildings within the substantial farmstead. Our vendor has owned the property for 20 years and has used the rich pasture which amounts to almost 11 acres for the grazing of stock. Today, the farmhouse which would require some modernisation and updating is ripe for further investment and potential development (subject to achieving all necessary consents). The fine views from the rear towards Bodmin Moor and good roadside access would combine to attract a range of commercial enterprise. Superfast broadband has recently been installed.

The home provides very spacious and versatile accommodation that features three large reception rooms. The lounge has an attractive feature fire surround which has an inset Woodwarm multi fuel stove. The adjacent dining room is a similar size and has a Jetmaster wood burner installed. Like the lounge, the dining room has a bay window to the front elevation receiving plenty of natural light. The family room at the back of the property has two windows looking towards the fields and a Jotul wood burner with a coal grate inset within a feature fireplace. All three reception rooms flow well and are highly flexible and can be arranged to suit a purchasers needs. The kitchen has matching units and an oil fired Aga which is included in the sale. Further downstairs space includes a rear lobby, boiler room, bathroom/WC and a walk-in pantry.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, the dual aspect master bedroom like bedroom two has stunning far reaching views across the grounds towards Bodmin Moor in the distance. Completing the first floor is the third bedroom and the family bathroom/WC which has a shower over the panelled bath. The property benefits from UPVC double glazing and warmth is generated by oil fired central heating. Joined on at the side of the home offering great scope is a large side porch/storage area with its own toilet. The back end of this area has been extended and whilst not entirely completed could lend itself to further storage/residential potential subject to obtaining all consents.

As mentioned one of the main features of Taylor Shop is the extensive number of outbuildings which demonstrate its agricultural past. The property is a registered smallholding and would suit those who therefore wish to continue grazing stock across the 10.88 acres of land. There are level lawned and well enclosed gardens at the side of the house which are private and look out over the grounds. Two large single garages and a driveway at the front provide plenty of off road parking.

The outbuildings extend to the side and rear of the property, one of which incorporates a garage and is two storey comprising of a former mill house with grain, wood and chicken store. A superb single storey long Shippon barn has made a good cattle shed with sliding doors. There is a separate section used for equestrian purposes with a tack room and stabling. A tractor shed, calf store and large commercial workshop with pit are also in place as is an attractive Victorian unroofed slaughterhouse and further smaller domestic workshop. Most of the buildings have power and light connected. There are a raft of possibilities for conversion of the buildings for a whole host of purposes including leisure, business/enterprise or further residential or ancillary accommodation. The prominent position of the property would assist those looking for home and income possibilities.

The land is made up into three enclosures and found at the rear and side of the house in a south facing position and well fenced. It is gently sloping and rich pasture suitable for the grazing of stock and horses. There is an agricultural access at the side.
