Situation - With extensive frontage to the River Camel and direct access onto the Camel Trail, The Dairy Barns enjoys a picturesque setting amidst mature gardens and grounds of around 7 acres.

This scenic location is just over a mile west of Bodmin town centre with ready access onto the A389. Wadebridge is just 8.5 miles and the magnificent North Cornish coast 12.5 miles with destinations including Polzeath, Rock, Port Isaac, Padstow and Constantine Bay all within easy driving distance.

On the south coast is the scenic River Fowey, an ideal place to keep either a yacht or dinghy as together with its creeks and inlets it provides fantastic opportunities for day sailing. The pretty villages of Lerryn and Golant are well worth visiting, as is the historic port of Fowey.

Bodmin Parkway mainline railway station is 5.5 miles and Newquay airport is 16 miles away, with daily flights throughout the UK and Europe.

The Property - Approached over a shared lane that crosses the Camel Trail, The Dairy Barns is a cluster of traditional character properties that were formerly part of the historic Pencarrow Estate. The idyllic grounds are a blend of gardens, meadow and woodland much of which borders the River Camel and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

In more recent years, three of the traditional barns have been sensitively converted into holiday cottages and now form a manageable 'Lifestyle Business'. Alongside the cottages are a range of ancillary outbuildings, vegetable garden with polytunnel and impressive array of solar panels.
