Knights Mill, St. Teath, Bodmin, Cornwall, PL30

SELLERS INSIGHT:Lots of space for family parties and barbecues when we put the marquee up in the field.
I am not overlooked, and there are no close neighbours.
The house is economical to run, with solar panels for the house and solar heating for the swimming pool.
The house is south-facing, so a bit of a suntrap, with the jacuzzi in the garden room.
Part of the woods are SSSI and have many flowers and ferns.
The river has many visitors, including kingfishers and dippers. It’s also a popular fishing spot for the family, and we often see the heron.
It was convenient for my grandchildren when they stayed, as buses stop outside for schools to Wadebridge and Camelford.
There are also buses for college and shopping in Bude.
I was drawn here by the historical fact that it was originally a water mill and has many character features, including two inglenook fireplaces, which now have wood burners.
There’s plenty of parking in the private grounds when family bring their motorhomes, with electric hook-up in the field.
We’ve used the field for archery and shooting, and the boys go go-karting.
Mostly, I like to relax in the pool or sit by the river in summer.
