The whole of the large sweeping driveway and the outside paths have been finished in a resin surface with an outside summerhouse added. The total plot amounts to some 1.18 acres of grounds and along with the large wooden barn with loose boxes within adds to the rural lifestyle on offer at this fine home.

At the eastern side a separate five bar gate opens into a large area where once a sand school was positioned. This area houses the large purpose built timber barn which comprises of two loose boxes and a large storage barn which is suitable for the storage of additional vehicles or light agricultural machinery.

The following is a quotation from the home owners:

“"Hampole Cottage has been a wonderful home to us for nearly 8 years. Peaceful and secluded yet only 2 minutes to join the main A30 artery of Cornwall.

From stormy winter nights in front of the log burners to long hot summer days hosting extended family and friends. We've enjoyed many barbecues on the patio, watching children playing badminton and tennis on the lawns before all jumping into the heated pool, splashing around and swimming until the very late hours.

We sincerely hope the new owners will enjoy Hampole Cottage as much as we have and care for it well into the future and beyond.......”.
