Bedrooms: 4
Attractive 4 bedroom cottage with 3.46 acres adjoining paddock and wooded area. Part of a peacefully located 55 acres farm set in attractive countryside not far from the A30 and Launceston, with two dwellings, buildings with potential and productive riverside pasture. The farm is being initially marketed as a whole, or just the two 4 bedroom dwellings, each with their own adjoining paddock and the option to buy all or part of the remaining 55 acres. The remainder of land may be available after the sale of the two dwellings.
SITUATION
Downicary Farm Cottage is situated on the edge of a courtyard, approximately 5 miles north of Launceston and 0.5 miles east of the popular village of St Giles on the Heath. It lies in attractive rolling countryside on the Devon/Cornwall border, within easy reach of the well served town of Launceston and the A30, which provides a mainly dual-carriageway link between the Cathedral cities of Exeter and Truro.
St Giles on the Heath is a thriving and popular village with a village store, public house, school, good community spirit and various amenities. Launceston has a more extensive range of shopping, leisure and health facilities.
INTRODUCTION
The cottage forms part of an attractive 54.89 acre farm which lies within a ringfence, with the farmstead set back from the road. A minor lane runs through the land and the River Carey (a tributary to the nearby River Tamar) forms the farm's western boundary. A disused railway line also runs through the land. There are no public rights of way crossing the property.
Initially, the farm is offered as a whole or just the two dwellings individually, with as many of the buildings and as much land as is practical to sell with them. Any residual land will then be marketed separately afterwards. A lotting plan and price list of the additional land and buildings is available upon request. The dwellings are both semi-detached.
