Introduction
Situated in the heart of Veryan, one of the Roseland Peninsula's most picturesque and sought-after villages, Kiplings is an attractive and deceptively spacious detached Victorian home, beautifully combining period character with the comforts of modern living. Thoughtfully extended and sympathetically renovated over the years, the property provides exceptionally versatile accommodation, including four double bedrooms, three principal reception rooms, a spacious country kitchen, garden room and two bath/shower rooms.
A particular feature is the substantial adjoining studio, formerly the village butcher's shop, offering considerable flexibility for those seeking a creative workspace, home office or potential business premises, subject to any necessary consents.
Complemented by delightful private gardens, sunny terraces and off-road parking, Kiplings represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and generously proportioned village home within easy reach of the Roseland's beautiful beaches and coastal scenery.
The Accommodation
Ground Floor
The accommodation is approached through an entrance porch leading into the welcoming dining room, an attractive space featuring a traditional fireplace incorporating a historic clome oven, now fitted with a Clearview wood-burning stove. A sash window with window seat overlooks the front of the property, while a staircase rises to the first floor.
The spacious sitting room occupies part of a former stone barn, sympathetically incorporated into the main residence in 2001. This particularly inviting room features a wood-burning stove set upon a slate hearth and opens into a delightful garden room, with French doors providing direct access onto the sheltered rear terrace.
The country-style kitchen/breakfast room, extended in 2006, enjoys a triple aspect with attractive views across the gardens. Fitted with a range of traditional units and work surfaces, the room features an inglenook fireplace housing an Everhot electric cooker, available by separate negotiation. A stable door and a door opposite open onto the rear terrace and garden, while an adjoining utility/larder provides useful additional storage and space for laundry appliances.
A separate reception room offers further flexibility, ideally suited as a study, snug or home office.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a contemporary wet room, thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, incorporating a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
First Floor
The first floor offers four double bedrooms, each retaining elements of the property's original character, including exposed timber floorboards, traditional sash windows and attractive countryside glimpses. The particularly impressive principal bedroom occupies the upper floor of the converted stone barn and features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, wooden flooring and windows overlooking both the village and rear gardens.
The three further bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests, with the fourth bedroom enjoying a particularly charming position overlooking the rear garden.
A family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a bath, wash basin and WC, serves the bedrooms. A distinctive feature of the landing is the beautifully restored stained-glass window, providing natural light to the staircase and adding to the property's period appeal.
The Studio
Adjoining the main residence is a substantial and versatile studio historically the village butcher's shop and subsequently used as a glass designer's studio and retail premises. The building is currently classified for commercial rather than residential use and is presently leased to a personal trainer. The large open space comprises two distincet areas, including a reception/studio room with French doors opening to the front and a larger gym/studio with a vaulted ceiling, tiled flooring, electricity and lighting.
The building offers flexibility for a variety of potential commercial uses, subject to the necessary consents and the terms of the existing lease. Any proposed change to residential use or conversion to garaging would be subject to obtaining the appropriate planning and other statutory permissions. There may also be potential to reconfigure part of the building to provide garaging, subject to obtaining the appropriate permissions.
This versatile addition enhances the overall appeal of Kiplings, providing valuable accommodation separate from the principal residence, with potential for personal, professional or income-generating use.

Historical Note
Veryan is most famous for its nineteenth century thatched Round Houses. There are five in all, two pairs of which stand at each end of the village and another in the centre. They were originally built by a missionary, named Reverend Jeremiah Trist, for his daughters. The present name of the village is a corruption of St Symphorian, the Parish saint, which in 1525 had become St Severian leading eventually to St Veryan. Close to Veryan is Carne Beacon, a Bronze Age grass covered barrow and reputedly the burial place of the legendary 6th century chieftain, Gereint of Dumnonia from whom the nearby village of Gerrans gets its name. Not far from there is Veryan Castle, a small Iron Age hill fort.
