Property description

Set in 1½ acres, with its own lake, is this beautifully restored and sympathetically updated 3/4 bedroom 19th Century Wharfman’s cottage, originally part of the Bude to Holsworthy Canal. This spacious family home offers light and airy accommodation, ideal for those that entertain from home. The well presented accommodation offers a sitting room, dining room, well fitted kitchen in a country cottage style, utility room, ground floor study/bedroom four, downstairs shower/cloakroom, large conservatory overlooking the beautiful gardens,  master bedroom with dressing area and en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms.  Externally the property has a double width garage and lots of off-road parking, large 47’ barn and large picturesque lake with island.  All of this is set within extensive gardens which are laid to lawn with a light wooded aspect.  As properties of this calibre rarely appear on the market for sale, may we suggest the earliest possible inspection.
 
SITUATION
Blagdon House is situated in an enviable setting at Blagdonmoor Wharf which is a relatively unknown spot consisting of only four other properties.  The thriving market town of Holsworthy is only 2 miles and offers a wide range of facilities including supermarket, butchers, newsagents, banks, post office, dentist, doctors, cottage hospital, vet, places of worship, leisure centre with heated indoor swimming pool and an 18 hole golf course.  The popular north Cornish coastal resort of Bude is approximately 10 miles distant with the spectacular and dramatic north Cornish coastline, much of which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and provides many sandy beaches with a variety of watersports available.  There are Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools at Holsworthy and an excellent preparatory school in Bude and a daily bus service to Shebbear College from Holsworthy.  A more comprehensive range of recreational and shopping facilities are available to the south in Launceston, approximately 14 miles and to the north in Bideford, approximately 20 miles and Barnstaple, approximately 30 miles.  The cathedral city and county town of Exeter is about 50 miles to the east.
 
THE PARTICULARS
All measurements are approximate.  There are numerous power points throughout.  None of the fittings have been tested by ourselves.
