Set on the shore of beautiful Dozmary Pool, a natural lake associated with the Arthurian legend as the final resting place of Excalibur and scene of the exploits of Giant Jan Tregeagle, this recently converted, detached and double-glazed granite barn is centrally located in the heart of Bodmin Moor which is within easy reach of both the north and south coast. Situated within an SSSI, this is the perfect spot for walkers, birdwatchers and water enthusiasts. Just10 metres from the waters edge, this is a magical spot in a wild and remote setting.
Approached by a narrow unmade lane and private drive that slopes down to a large gravel parking area, from here the fully glazed front door leads directly into an open plan living room with a slate tiled floor and furnished to the highest standard.
The well equipped, modern fitted kitchen has a butler sink and a large pine dining table with bench seats, and an adjacent comfortable sitting area with a wood burning stove and windows overlooking the water. There is one ground floor
bedroom with a double bed, lovely views of the garden and beyond to the lake, and an en-suite shower room W.C. with hand basin. In one corner of the lounge, an oak staircase leads up to the first floor landing where there are a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath and two attractive bedrooms with
twin beds, oak flooring and good views over the lake and the surrounding countryside. A first floor patio is reached via a glazed door off one of the twin bedrooms with granite steps leading down to the driveway, and at the front of the property, a walled and gated lawned garden and sheltered south facing terrace overlook the lake.
The grounds are enclosed but toddlers and pets must be supervised as the banks of the lake are just a few feet beyond the garden wall. There is space to store bicycles and beach gear in a stone outbuilding. It is possible to launch canoes on Dozmary Pool, there is a natural right to roam on foot over much of the surrounding moorland and there are lovely cycle rides in all directions. Jamaica Inn at Bolventor is 1.5miles away, and the surrounding villages of Altarnun, Blisland, St Breward and St Cleer are all within 15 minutes by car and have a local shop and pub. The larger towns of Bodmin and Launceston are about a 20 minute drive respectively. The Eden Project and other places of interest are also within easy reach. Trout fishing and a watersports centre are available at Siblyback Lake nearby. There are also local stables offering horse riding.
