Thornfield is an impressive, detached country residence, originally constructed in the late 1980s and offering exceptionally versatile accommodation throughout. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced, creating a spacious family home set within approximately 8.5 acres of land. A particular feature is the substantial purpose built agricultural barn, providing excellent space for a variety of uses. Occupying a private and secluded position at the end of its own lane, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy together with far reaching views across its own land towards the North Cornish coastline.
The accommodation is both welcoming and practical. At its heart is a striking dual aspect sitting room with a vaulted ceiling extending to the first floor, creating a wonderful sense of space and character. A wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point and adds warmth and atmosphere. Sliding doors open into the conservatory, while a staircase rises to the first floor.
The dual aspect kitchen/dining room forms a bright and sociable living space, fitted with a range of matching units and incorporating a built in electric double oven, electric hob, extractor hood, fridge and freezer. A breakfast bar provides a natural division between the kitchen and dining area, with ample space for family dining and entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room with access to the gardens, together with a ground floor cloakroom and separate wet room. Also on this level is a versatile fourth bedroom, which could equally serve as a home office, alongside a walk in pantry. An internal door provides access to the integral single garage.
On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to all principal rooms. The generous principal bedroom suite benefits from roof windows that flood the space with natural light and includes a dressing area with fitted mirrored wardrobes. The contemporary en-suite bathroom features both a bath and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, which offers an opportunity for modernisation and personalisation to suit individual tastes.
The property benefits from oil fired central heating, while fully owned photovoltaic solar panels help to offset running costs and improve energy efficiency.
Outside, a long private driveway leads to a turning circle with an attractive central pond. The gardens and grounds surround the property and have previously been cultivated to provide productive vegetable beds and a polytunnel. A variety of useful outbuildings are available, including storage sheds, a block built workshop and an open store.
The mature gardens to the rear and side feature a diverse selection of established trees and shrubs, providing year round interest, colour and privacy. There are numerous opportunities to create delightful seating and entertaining areas from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
A short distance from the house stands the substantial purpose built agricultural barn, believed to have been constructed around 2016. This outstanding building is equipped with power, lighting and water and sits on a solid concrete base. Buildings of this scale and quality are rarely found alongside residential properties and represent a significant asset.
The land extends predominantly to the north and west of the house and is arranged as a single well enclosed pasture field. Ideal for those wishing to keep livestock or simply enjoy the space and lifestyle afforded by country living, the land is easily observed from the property and enhances the appeal of this exceptional rural home.
The property is situated approximately one mile from the village of Canworthy Water. Canworthy Water has a Methodist Church and a short distance away at Warbstow there is a popular County Primary School. Further amenities can be found at nearby Wainhouse Corner to include a General Store/Post Office and Public House.
The ancient former market town of Launceston lies approximately 9 miles away and boasts a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and is convenient to the A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction. The coastal resort of Bude is approximately 12.5 miles distant and offers a further range of amenities and miles of sandy beaches and cliff top walks.
For those applicants looking for transport links the Continental Ferry Port and City of Plymouth is located within 36 miles and the Cathedral City of Exeter is located approximately 53 miles away. Both cities have main line Railway Stations and Airports.
