4 bedroom house

This substantial house known as Fernleigh lies in an accessible and prominent position in the heart of Bray Shop within commutable distance of many Cornish towns and the city of Plymouth. The property has been significantly renovated and extended by our client who has been in residence since 2005. Many of the period features and elegance has been preserved within the four bedroom home including the high ceilings and architraves, tiled and wooden floors. The home is finished in a neutral colour scheme throughout. The attached three bedroom house known as Oakleigh is part of the property and comprises of generous accommodation with its own garden and parking space. It can derive a rental income in the region of £12,000 per year. The detached home office suite converted from a milking parlour in 2017 is superior and would be perfect for those who work from home or who have the intent to run a small business from this highly visible and accessible location. A further barn/carpenters workspace has planning to be converted into residential use with services. A further wood framed clad shed with concrete floor which was updated in 2015 provides secure storage within the paddock. The paddock will also appeal to those looking to keep stock, horses or exercise animals. Far reaching views are enjoyed across to Bodmin Moor. We have no hesitation in recommending an internal viewing to appreciate all of the elements of this wonderful home.

The main house known as Fernleigh has spacious accommodation including a wonderful tiled entrance hall, a light and airy dual aspect sitting room and a living/dining room which has a feature fireplace with open grate and lots of space for large family gatherings. Double doors lead to the modern kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of matching cream wall and base units and a breakfast bar. There are many free standing appliances that will stay as part of the sale including a Rangemaster oven with LPG hob and extractor canopy, a dishwater and washing machine. The kitchen has a slate floor, bamboo worksurfaces and strip light. The garden room, which like the kitchen formed part of a large extension added in 2007. It is a great area to relax in and leads out to the rear patio and the garden. A WC completes this level. The sweeping stairs lead to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms including the master suite which has a fully glazed door leading to the roof terrace. The large terrace is a real feature of the home and enjoys a stunning view over the paddock towards Bodmin Moor. It should be noted that at present the terrace is not enclosed and great care should be taken until it is fully safe. The luxury family bathroom/WC has a matching three piece suite including a large bath and a separate shower cubicle with Mira sport shower.

The adjacent house known as Oakleigh has three bedroom accommodation, its own area of large designated gardens and off road parking. The accommodation includes a lounge, dining room and a large dual aspect kitchen with an integrated electric oven and hob. All the bedrooms are large enough to accommodate a double bed. As with Fernleigh, there are many period features. Both houses have the benefit of oil fired central heating ran separately.

The detached office suite is superbly appointed and includes a large open plan light and airy office area with a feature vaulted ceiling and room for several desks, making it very comfortable for, if necessary a business to be run entirely from the building which has its own kitchen area, ladies and gents disabled toilets and a shower. The highly visible location is a significant advantage and provides both free advertising and ease of accessibility. A detached barn adjacent to the main house has planning to be converted into a single storey ancillary annexe, a purchaser could look to Cornwall Council for advice.

Externally, the property has a private driveway and plenty of parking for many cars. The rear garden comprises of a paved patio area which is able to receive the sun most of the day and is perfect for outside dining. The enclosed paddock lies to the rear and comprises of over two acres of pasture. It has a separate road access and a large timber framed outbuilding along with a Nissen hut. The area would be suitable for those buyers who have horses or stock. There are far reaching views enjoyed towards Bodmin Moor.

The following is a quotation from the home owners:

“We are retiring in 2021, as intended, selling the family home, business premises and rental property as part of the retirement plan. We have enjoyed living, working and refurbishing, a beautiful property, where together, with the outside space and location, we developed a “life-style”. Even more exciting the opportunity exists for the new owners, due to flexibility, diversity and further development to change all the activities to meet your requirements. We wanted rural life, with space inside and out, near the A30 with easy social and business connections.”
