The Location
Hornacott Manor occupies a peaceful position within the north Cornish countryside, surrounded by farmland, woodland and rolling scenery, yet within easy reach of Launceston, the north Cornish coast and the wider road network. The setting has a notably private, rural quality, with the house approached over a long drive and standing within its own land, creating a strong sense of seclusion without isolation.
Launceston provides a wide range of everyday amenities, with independent shops, supermarkets, leisure facilities and schooling, including St Joseph's School. Tavistock, to the east, offers further shopping, restaurants and Mount Kelly School, while Holsworthy, to the north, provides additional everyday services including a Waitrose supermarket. The A30 provides excellent onward access towards Exeter, Plymouth and the rest of Cornwall.
The north Cornish coast is within easy reach, including Widemouth Bay, Crackington Haven and Bude, offering beaches, surfing, coastal walks and a broad choice of restaurants and cafes. Dartmoor National Park is also readily accessible, adding further scope for walking, riding and outdoor pursuits. Locally and further afield there are well-regarded restaurants and pubs in Tavistock, Lydford and Bude, adding to the appeal for both full-time living and guests.
Energy Efficiency
The property has an EPC rating of B which, for a period house of this nature, is outstanding. This is due in part to its unusual and effective construction, including a timber-frame inner wall that provides excellent insulation.
The current owners are environmentally aware and have made a substantial investment in energy efficiency. The solar installation comprises an impressive array of 65 panels with 42kW of battery storage, linked to an electric car charging station and supplementary hot water heating via the Solar iBoost system. In today's environment of high energy costs, this is a particularly valuable feature, helping to reduce running costs and improve the resilience and efficiency of the property.
