House For Sale £675,000
This substantial home known as Salt Whistle dates back many hundreds of years and was we believe a former chapel. It has a wealth of character and original features and stands in a semi-rural location with few neighbouring homes. Over the years, many extensions have been added giving the property huge flexibility. A large single storey and self-contained annexe is a real asset of the home and would therefore be suitable for the use of multi-generational families or those looking to consider generating income opportunities. The south facing level gardens are a key component of the house and provide the platform for a perfect rural lifestyle complemented by far reaching views with the rugged north Cornish coastline within easy striking distance. We have no hesitation in recommending an early internal viewing to appreciate all of the qualities of this substantial and versatile property.
The main house has highly flexible accommodation that comprises of a large welcoming reception hall with very useful built in cupboards. The hall leads through to the sociable light and airy kitchen/dining room with each area divided by the staircase. The modern fitted kitchen is well equipped with a wide range of matching units and incorporates some solid granite worksurfaces. Included in the sale is a double electric oven with a gas hob. The oil fired Rayburn is in place within an attractive recess with granite lintel above and is not only a cooking appliance but is also able to fire the radiators throughout the home. The kitchen has a ceramic floor and modern downlighters. The dining area has a wooden floor and room for a good sized table. Additional reception space comes from the delightful UPVC conservatory with its glazed roof and access to the garden. The centerpiece of the ground floor is the large rectangular dual aspect lounge with parquet floor. This superior space has doors to the garden and a fireplace which has a multi fuel stove providing a warm atmosphere. Concluding the ground floor is the utility room/WC.
The first floor has access to all four bedrooms, two of which are large enough to accommodate a double bed. The master bedroom is dual aspect with a large built in range of cupboards and fitted wardrobes. It enjoys the best of the outstanding views in the house looking straight ahead towards Bodmin Moor and at the side, a view of Dartmoor in the far distance. The spacious family bathroom presents an ideal opportunity to be modernised.
Attached to the property but entirely self-contained is the two bedroom single storey annexe. This is purpose built and has well-proportioned accommodation comprising of an entrance hall, lounge/dining room with fireplace and wood burner, south facing UPVC conservatory, modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a premium shower room/WC which has a large shower cubicle with soaker shower, heated towel rail and high quality vinyl flooring. The main bedroom has a range of built in wardrobes. The annexe would be perfectly suited for multi-generational families or deriving income.

At the front of the main house is the detached double garage which has power and light and a roller door. Adjacent to this is a useful workshop and a log store.
