Situation - Situated on the northern fringes of Bodmin Moor, Owls Gate sits on the side of a shallow valley, surrounded on three sides by open farmland with a belt of mature Beech trees providing shelter to the north.

A particularly tranquil and picturesque position, the property enjoys an off the beaten track location yet is only six miles from the majestic North Cornish coast with popular destinations including Tintagel, Boscastle, Trebarwith Strand and Port Isaac, all within easy driving distance.
 
Directly accessible over a public footpath adjacent to the site is Bodmin Moor, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a haven for walkers and nature lovers alike.

The Property - Set within extensive gardens and grounds, the residence is a spacious timber bungalow, believed to have been imported from Sweden in the 1950s. One wing is arranged as a characterful and quirky ancillary studio.

Filled with natural light, this distinctive home enjoys lovely views over the surrounding grounds. It offers a generous open-plan living space with patio doors opening onto a large sun deck, as well as a kitchen/breakfast room featuring an Aga. There are four to five bedrooms, including one with an en-suite. “Little Owl,” the attached studio, provides cosy open-plan living with a sleeping platform accessed via loft-style stairs.
 
Approached over a shared unmade lane, there is separate access into the field previously used for seasonal camping, thoughtfully landscaped and surrounded with beech hedging.

The Grounds & Outbuildings - Surrounding Owls Gate are beautifully established gardens and grounds extending to around 1.7 acres, thoughtfully planted and landscaped to maintain a relaxed, natural feel. The grounds are principally laid to lawn and include a productive vegetable garden, polytunnel, a children’s play area, and several tucked-away seating spots.

Part of the land was previously run as a popular seasonal camping business and benefits from a Certificate of Lawfulness for Existing Use or Development permitting eight belle tents (Planning Reference PA20/10232).

There are currently two attractive shepherd’s huts, each set within its own private area with slate-chipped seating and views across the surrounding countryside. These well-designed huts include a bed, kitchenette, banquette seating, and a shower room. The original communal barbecue hut and shower facilities from the campsite are still in place, offering scope to revive their former use.

To the western side of the grounds, stands a substantial detached workshop/studio building, complete with a former kitchen and shower room. This versatile space offers excellent potential for a range of alternative uses, subject to the necessary permissions.

There is ample parking on site, either adjacent to the workshop or in the substantial parking area next to the house.
