WEST TRELYN COTTAGE

A charming and very well presented 4 bedroom farmhouse, set in 4.9 acres of grounds and paddocks with stables, quietly situated within the picturesque Cornish countryside enjoying far-reaching panoramic views over the unspoilt Bodmin Moor landscape. The house has been sympathetically remodelled and updated and retains many character features.

SITUATION
West Trelyn is quietly located on the edge of the picturesque landscape of Bodmin Moor which provides a large expanse for walking and horse riding. The popular village of Altarnun, approximately 3 miles to the south-east, offers a good range of facilities including a village shop, primary school, parish church known as the 'Cathedral of the Moors' and the popular 'Rising Sun' public house serving a wide selection of local real ales. A wider range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities are available at the historic former Cornish capital town of Launceston, approximately 7 miles distant. Camelford is approximately 6 miles to the north and offers a supermarket, public houses, restaurant, chemist & Vets. Bodmin, which lies approximately 14 miles via the A30 to the west, is the largest town in North Cornwall and lies equidistant between the south coast and the dramatic north coast. The main A30 dual carriageway is close at hand providing valuable links to other towns, villages and places of interest, including the capital cathedral city of Truro, St. Austell, the coastal surfing resort of Newquay and, in an easterly direction, the city of Exeter. Airports and rail links are located in both Newquay and Exeter, with the M5 motorway being located at the latter.
