St. Mabyn, Bodmin

This property, Somerset Lodge is nestled neatly among the fields immediately surrounding St. Mabyn. It is accessed via a 3rd of a mile private driveway which curves gently towards the property. The driveway is tree lined with wide shrub and grass areas to the sides and opens to an hourglass ending where Somerset Lodge is situated. The property is sheltered to its rear by a lightly wooded area which itself backs onto gently rising open fields. The front of the property boasts an absolutely stunning and unblemished vista of open fields stretching as far as the eye can see across a wide shallow valley; a view one could only describe as magical.

With only a handful of neighboring properties, this exclusive enclave enjoys a level of peace and tranquility becoming evermore difficult to find, making this property a hidden gem in this increasingly popular village; a rare find indeed in a village with rapidly diminishing purchase opportunities, (if any at all), such as this.
It should be noted, that whilst this property is a grade 2 listed building, three neighboring properties - one adjoining - have all been successfully de-listed.

Monies from the sale of Somerset Lodge will be used in part to restore the main house and further improve the standard of the surrounding area, (driveway surface, more landscaping etc.) As this property is a restoration project it should be noted that a substantial degree of work will be involved. However, when completed this property will indeed be a dream home with its unique situation, views, peace and quiet. When completed, will be in excess of £500,000 depending on the finish and market conditions at the time.

The village of St Mabyn is situated in a beautiful and unspoilt area of North Cornwall which is located between the wild and unspoilt playground of Bodmin Moor to the east and the beautiful Camel Estuary to the west. The village supports a range of everyday amenities such as a public house, restaurant and general stores whilst more extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in the nearby towns of Wadebridge and Bodmin which are both less than 6 miles away.

Communication links are excellent with the A30 providing dual carriageway links to Truro to the west and Exeter and the M5 motorway network to the east. There are regular intercity rail services to London Paddington from Bodmin and Liskeard and an ever increasing number of flights to UK and international destinations from Newquay airport.
