Situation And Brief Description - Kirland Manor is approached over a private shared stone lane and stands in an enviable “tucked away” countryside position which has the benefit of being away from, but near to, the old county town of Bodmin and junctions to the A30(T).

Standing with it's own mature grounds, Kirland Manor, with Thomas Hardy connections, is a quality period residence which is reflected in its status as a Grade II Listed Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest and shows off a number of features including ceiling cornicing, moulding, window seats, box cupboards, fireplaces, panel doors, original nails, slate flagstone floors, sash windows and so forth. Kirland Manor has been the subject of an exterior and interior upgrading and improvement programme over a number of years.

The Manor House - On the ground floor, as shown on the floor plan, is an open Portico Porch with wide part glazed heavy front door to a Reception Hall with solid wood floor and ceiling cornicing with doors off from left and right to the two main front Reception Rooms. At the rear of the Hall are archways leading through to an Inner Hall and turning balustrade stairs off to the first floor with under-stairs cupboard.

The main front Reception Room is a Drawing Room, being a well-proportioned and spacious room with solid wood floor and stone fireplace with inset wood-burner with slate and marble surround and slate hearth and recesses to either side, off which is a spacious Office Room with solid wood floor. The other front Reception Room comprises a Dining Room with wide stone fireplace with inset wood-burner with timber beam over, slate hearth, ceiling coving and part obscure glazed leaded and patterned door which leads through to a secondary Inner Hall with door to walk-in Larder and small Utility Room.

Off is the Kitchen (new 2023) with slate flagstone floor and matching range of shaker style units with worktop surfaces and including a ceramic sink unit with Quooker instant boiling water tap, Miele integrated dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer.

From the Kitchen is a Rear Hall/Boot Room with slate flagstone floor, arched door to Recessed Porch and door to Family Room with slate flagstone floor, wide stone fireplace with inset wood-burner on raised hearth with heavy beam over, and storage cupboards to either side. Within this room are exposed ceiling timbers and there is a return door to the initial Inner Hall from which there are steps which lead up to an old Apple Store (with part restricted ceiling height) with exposed ceiling timbers and Storage Cupboard - considered perhaps ideal as a Study/Hobbies Room or further Bedroom.

On the first floor, centred around a balustraded Landing, is a Master Bedroom Suite with southerly outlook and doors to walk-in Wardrobe/Dressing Room and En-Suite Shower Room (new 2023) with walk in shower, wc and washbasin; two other Bedrooms, one being a well-proportioned room with built-in wardrobe and cast iron Victorian style fireplace; and a Bathroom (new 2023) ball and claw bath, wc and washbasin, with adjacent Airing Room with door to Airing Cupboard and wall cupboard.

On the second floor is a balustraded Landing with doors off to two further spacious Bedrooms in the roof (with part restricted ceiling height) and eaves Storage Cupboard.

The Detached Annexe - To the rear of the house is a detached self-contained single storey Annexe with Kitchenette, Living Room, Shower Room & Bedroom.

The Grounds - From the stone lane is a gravelled ‘in and out’ drive which sweeps around the front of the house and which also leads to the east through a parcel of mainly deciduous woodland to a Garage Building. Within the woodland are a number of mature and fine deciduous Beech trees standards.

To the front of the house is an open lawn garden overlooking a neighbouring meadow and to the eastern side of which is a superb contemporary heated outside Swimming Pool with electric pool cover. Above is an area of lawn with flower borders and seating areas and to the west are delightful wall enclosed further gardens with an upper level with crazy paved paths and seating areas, ornamental pond and old timber framed Greenhouse and a lower level Orchard. On the rear of the northern wall is a Garden Shed and Log Store.

In total, the grounds with Kirland Manor extend to about 1.75 acres.
