General Comments - Beechleigh is a truly unique and very special property located in a secluded, but very accessible, rural position between the popular villages of Probus and Ladock. The property comprises a detached bungalow with fabulous gardens, grounds and land that extends to approximately twelve acres. The gardens and grounds are a sheer delight with an array of established shrubs, trees and plants, together with several ponds, and it is a natural haven for wildlife. The land is mature pasture, recently grazed by sheep and perfect for equestrian use or hobby farming. The bungalow has evolved over the years with several extensions and now offers spacious accommodation and a large foot print. The original section is a Cornish Unit so the property is unlikely to be mortgageable so only suitable for cash purchasers. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,685 square feet and includes three/four bedrooms, the master with en-suite, kitchen, large lounge with dining area, garden room, further lounge (or fourth bedroom), front sun porch, utility room, bathroom and additional w.c. A tarmac drive provides parking for four cars and there is a detached double garage. The country lane divides the property with the bungalow and 2.6 acres on one side and 9.2 acres on the other side with the ponds, garden and larger field. Generous gardens surround the bungalow and above is an enclosed sloping field with stables. The whole property enjoys a sunny aspect and the setting is very peaceful with lots of private areas.

Location - Beechleigh is located in the parish of Probus and is half way between the villages of Ladock and Probus.
