Westside Cottage Description

Equidistant from both the spectacular North and South Coasts and nestling in a lovely tranquil area, this recently renovated pretty 19th century detached cottage stands in a quarter of an acre of mature country garden.  Retaining much of the original charm and character, Westside Cottage provides warm and cosy year round accommodation set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, within half a mile of ancient walks and graded cycle trails through Cardinham Woods.  

The property is approached by a gated gravel driveway with ample parking and a slate path that leads to the front entrance porch and a stable door opening directly into the attractive beamed living room that spans the width of the cottage.  On one side, comfortable lounge seating is arranged before a granite fireplace retaining the original cloam oven and a wood burning stove, and on the opposite side, there is a dining suite next to a stove effect electric fire set within a second granite fireplace. 

Just off from the dining area French doors open onto a small sunny patio.  At the rear, an inner hall has a fully glazed door to the garden and decking area, a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath, a newly fitted kitchen and an adjacent utility room with access to the driveway. 

Upstairs are two pleasant bedrooms with double and twin zip link beds (making a 6ft double if required) respectively, both with beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and window seats overlooking the front garden.  To complete the accommodation,one step leads up to a shower room W.C. with hand basin; the ground floor bathroom and upstairs shower room both benefit from electric underfloor heating and heated towel rails. 

The extensive garden which surrounds the property has a secluded lawn and a pretty curved wooden deck at the rear. A summerhouse at the top of the garden enjoys beautiful views over fields and wooded hills. At the bottom of the garden there is a log store with storage space for bicycles and beach gear. 

Blisland, 4 miles, has a local store/P.O. and traditional pub facing the village green and Bodmin, 5 miles, has a good selection of shops, pubs, bicycle hire, leisure centre, golf club and Steam Railway.  Bodmin Moor offers walking and solitude and there are cycle trails through Cardinham Woods with the Camel Trail close by.  

The beautiful beaches and fishing villages of the north and south coast’s are within 30 minutes drive and there are many glorious gardens and historic houses including Lanhydrock House (4.5 miles) and the Eden Project within easy reach.  Watersports and fishing are available at Siblyback Lake nearby.  A real bonus for this peaceful rural location is the easy road access to both A roads providing an ideal base for exploring the whole of Cornwall.
