Crossgate, near Launceston, Cornwall. PL15 9SX

Looking for your own rural idyll within easy reach of amenities and transport links?  This wonderful 2/3 bedroom converted barn is situated in a quiet rural hamlet of only a handful of other properties and has glorious, varied gardens, country views and offers a good degree of privacy and seclusion.

You are welcomed through large double coach gates into an idyllic Mediterranean-style courtyard garden with ornamental fishpond and ample space for a BBQ and tables and chairs.  The front door leads into a generous reception room off which is a bedroom and wet room-style shower room/WC as well as a door leading to the lovely triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with timber fronted wall and floor units and an electric Aga - fantastic for the cooler months!  On the first floor the barn really comes into its own with a substantial living room with two full-height windows framing either side of the room.  A large wood burner sits in the corner to warm the space in chillier months, and the high vaulted ceiling gives an incredible feeling of space and drama.  A spiral staircase discreetly tucked into the back corner gives access to a large mezzanine area currently used as the third bedroom.  A few steps take you up to a conservatory leading on from the front of the living room which enjoys a south-facing aspect and garden views.  Double doors lead out to the spacious rear garden with its various attractive seating areas.  Across from the living room is a further double bedroom and bathroom. 

The outside areas benefit from the property’s quiet and private setting.  At the front of the property is a walled Mediterranean-style courtyard garden – a lovely sun trap as well as an ideal area for barbecuing with friends and family.  The courtyard also includes a useful log store and a pretty ornamental fishpond and located at the end is a detached stone studio currently utilised as a home office and an additional guest room – a great bonus space!  An attractive stone arch at the far end of the courtyard opens up into what seems like another world, where the grounds gently slope up through established and well-stocked south-facing gardens and open out into a riot of colour.  At the far end is a useful shed and level area with fruit trees.  The path meanders back up towards the conservatory with attractive seating areas interspersed throughout the gardens, and at the top is a further seating area and a large greenhouse that could be made available by separate negotiation or this could be removed, creating a further large level area that could be a private sun terrace.  Parking for multiple cars is available in the gravelled driveway in front of the property where an electric car charging point is also available.

The Old Barn is situated in a quiet rural hamlet close to the River Tamar and the Cornwall/Devon Border.  The nearby villages of Lifton and St Giles on the Heath both offer a good range of local amenities including primary schooling, and the nearby towns of Launceston, Holsworthy, Okehampton and Tavistock all offer a more comprehensive range of retail outlets, supermarkets and schooling.  The north coast is a comfortable 25 to 30 minutes drive away offering sandy beaches and stunning coastal and cliff top walks as well as being popular for surfers.  Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor are also easily accessible offering miles of unspoilt countryside to the outdoor enthusiast.  The three cities of Plymouth, Exeter and Truro are all within approximately an hour’s drive.
