Providence House Description

A spacious and comfortable double glazed family house converted from a 19th century chapel, beside a country lane that leads out of the moorland village of St Breward, Cornwall's highest village, on the western edge of Bodmin Moor. Sympathetically renovated and furnished, the property has retained the original arch shaped windows and all the rooms are of a substantial size with high ceilings and a light and airy décor.

Approached from the parking area where there is off road parking for 2 cars, a couple of steps lead up to the front door which opens to a wide entrance hallway with an adjacent shower room W.C. with hand basin. On one side of the hall, a long sitting room has ample seating arranged before an electric log effect fire and a window overlooking the patio area. On the opposite side of the hall, there is a pleasant dining room with table, chairs and an original pew seat, and beyond there is a recently fitted kitchen with an electric range cooker. The kitchen can also be accessed from the sitting room.

A wide staircase leads up from the hallway to the first floor landing, a family bathroom W.C. with hand basin, bath and shower cubicle, and five bedrooms. There is a twin bedded room with a vanity basin, two double bedrooms, a smaller room with two 3ft single beds and a vanity basin, and the fifth bedroom has pine 3ft bunk beds. There are portable electric heaters in all of the bedrooms. To one side of the house, three steps lead up to a sheltered paved patio area with outdoor table and chairs. Children and dogs will need supervision as the patio is not enclosed. A small wing at the rear of the house is self contained and permanently occupied.

The village store and newsagent/P.O. with internet cafe are a 2 minute walk and The Old Inn pub and restaurant, dating back to the 11th century, and the neighbouring parish church are about 10 minutes on foot. There is also a children's playground in the village and riding stables just over a mile away. The towns of Bodmin, Wadebridge and Camelford are all within a 10 mile radius, there are golf courses nearby, and the indoor leisure complex with pool at Hengar Manor is open to non residents a 10 minute drive away.

The area abounds with rural footpaths, the open moor is only a few minutes walk and the Camel Trail can be joined at Wenford Bridge only two miles away. The spectacular coastline and beaches at Trebarwith, Port Isaac and Polzeath are about 9 miles.
