4 bedroom house

Full description

Tenure: Freehold

A detached family home in a picturesque location on the edge of the popular North Cornwall village of St Mabyn.

Description

Standing in its own tree lined grounds, The Glebe Cottage combines the tranquility of its rural setting with the convenience of being within a short walk of the centre of the village. A private path from the garden leads across glebe fields to the garden of St Mabyn Inn.

Entry through the front door leads into a hall with a turning staircase straight ahead. On the left is a dual aspect drawing room with open fireplace and attractive fitted alcove shelves. The ceiling is a renovation of the original with authentic rose and cornice design. This applies throughout the house.

A discreet door leads through to a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room, which has its own external door to the drive and is used for guest accommodation.

Across the hall the elegant dining room is spacious enough for entertaining around a large table and is also dual aspect, with French doors to the south facing patio and pergola. The adjoining kitchen is well equipped, maximising fitted storage space. The stove and oven are by De Dietrich. The kitchen faces south and has a beautiful view across the garden to the fields beyond.

A corridor leads into the renovated, spacious utility room, to the rear entrance and impressively, the purpose-built studio that is currently used for rehearsing and producing music. Wide, glazed patio doors take advantage of the garden aspect, while heavy duty insulation ensures that the single storey room maintains a pleasant temperature throughout the year.

Upstairs, the three double bedrooms are filled with natural light and are of comfortable proportions. The views of pasture and woodland are lovely. The family bathroom and en suites benefit from the new high-pressure plumbing system feeding the power showers. The principal bedroom suite incorporates an en suite shower room, an office and storage alcoves. There are two large storage and airing cupboards along the landing.

Location

St Mabyn is a thriving village with its community shop and post office, primary school, the popular inn and Haywood Farm Cider, a great attraction with live music in summer months.

The beautiful parish church stands as a high landmark amidst the picturesque countryside. Wadebridge is the nearest town and offers a good range of shops, restaurants and amenities, including a senior school, the Camel Trail, and is a popular sports and cultural hub, hosting a variety of events annually, including the Cornwall Folk Festival and the Royal Cornwall Show.

Neighbouring parishes, St Kew and St Tudy have well-established pub restaurants which are very popular, while Rock and Padstow are within easy reach for fine dining. Being so close to the Camel Estuary and the Atlantic coast the opportunities for sailing, swimming, surfing, golf, coast walking and all manner of outdoor activities are obvious and make this a desirable area in which to live.
