4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a large Georgian detached farmhouse
Grade II Listed — restrictions on alterations and repairs
Gardens and paddock approaching 1½ acres; elevated southwest views
Garage and private parking; peaceful hamlet location
Stone walls likely uninsulated; may need energy upgrades
Oil boiler and radiators as main heating; off-grid fuel reliance
Very slow broadband despite excellent mobile signal
Council tax level described as expensive
Set on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor, this Grade II Listed Georgian farmhouse occupies an elevated, peaceful site with formal gardens and a paddock approaching 1½ acres. The house retains substantial period character — a traditional stone façade, sash windows and high ceilings — and offers generous living space across multiple floors suitable for family life or a countryside retreat.
Practical advantages include sheltered south-west facing views over a wooded valley, private parking and a garage, oil-fired central heating and very low local crime. Nearby primary schools rated Good and Outstanding make the location viable for families who value rural schooling and outdoor space.
Important considerations: the listed status will complicate alterations and may restrict modernisation; the stone walls are likely uninsulated and the property uses private oil heating. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of historic rural properties and for any listed-conservation works.
This home will suit someone seeking a quietly elegant, characterful residence with substantial grounds and countryside privacy, and who accepts the responsibilities of owning a historic building in a remote setting.
