Located between the north and south coasts of Cornwall, Cardinham is a picturesque rural area at the head of the Glynn Valley and perhaps best known for Cardinham Woods. Managed by the Forestry Commission, this nearby woodland is a haven for walkers, cyclists and horse riders with a network of trails, great views and delightful scenery.

Bodmin is around 3 miles away and provides a wide variety of shops together with a choice of supermarkets and out of town stores, educational facilities and a leisure complex.
On the south coast is the scenic River Fowey, an ideal place to keep either a yacht or dinghy as together with its creeks and inlets it provides fantastic opportunities for day sailing. The pretty villages of Lerryn and Golant are well worth visiting, as is the historic port of Fowey
The A30 trunk road is 1.5 miles away and links the cathedral cities of Exeter and Truro. The A38 to Plymouth is also within easy reach. Bodmin Parkway mainline railway is 3 miles. Newquay airport is 17 miles away, with daily flights throughout the UK and Europe.
The Property - Approached over a long concrete driveway that passes through the private woodland, Tawnamoor is a truly idyllic retreat that has been an established Holiday Cottage Complex for a number of years, attracting returning guests and new visitors who are drawn by the fabulous surroundings and central location.
The three quirky holiday cottages have been thoughtfully converted from traditional barns and retain a host of character features including elevated ceilings with exposed timbers and the impressive fireplace in Tawnawood. The conversion also made use of ‘home grown’ elm and oak with a number of individual touches.
The main residence has been the subject of a comprehensive renovation and extension to provide extremely comfortable and stylish family accommodation that perfectly blends Cornish character and modern living spaces. Of particular note is the fabulous 21’ wide glazed elevation of the sitting room, opening onto a wrap around sun deck from where the views are at their best.
With sustainability and the environment in mind, the property benefits from its own wind turbine and solar panels. There is biomass heating system in the main house, with hot water provided by additional solar panels.
The grounds adjacent to the house and cottages are arranged as gardens and two paddocks which extend to around 3 acres. Descending into the valley are a further 14 acres of mature woodland, crisscrossed with pathways and teeming with wildlife. In the spring this ancient woodland has a carpet of bluebells.
The House - Facing south with fabulous views, the main residence has been extensively renovated and provides around 2430 sqft of family accommodation. On the ground floor is a traditional shaker kitchen with granite worktops, a slate floor and wood burning stove. This opens into a dining room and snug, both with underfloor heating. At the heart of the house is a hall with spiral staircase and a dual height gallery that is flooded by natural light from two Velux skylights. The spacious living area is a mix of the old and the new with a traditional living room featuring a double-sided woodburning stove. The main sitting room is a great entertaining space, sharing the wood burner and opening onto the sun deck. Completing this floor is the utility room with wc.
Upstairs are four bedrooms with exposed floor boards, the master having a vaulted timbered ceiling and contemporary shower room with spectacular views through a picture window. The central landing also has a vaulted timbered ceiling and the family bathroom features a double-ended bath and wash basin on slate topped wash stand.
The Cottages - Separated from the main house and arranged in an ‘L’ shape around a communal landscaped garden with mature borders and granite features. Each barn is individual, full of interesting features and offers a welcoming ambience. They are ideal for couples seeking a hideaway and families looking for a secluded spot away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
