DESCRIPTION

• The availability of Higher Drift is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a fantastic country home, annexe, equestrian facilities and land set amidst beautiful wooded countryside in a tranquil location close to the south coast of Cornwall.

3 Ref: LCAA7803 • Formerly part of the historic Boconnoc Estate, Higher Drift is an extremely appealing stone faced house created in 1989 by the enlargement, renovation and total re-design of the original cottage which we understand dated back to circa 1800’s. The house is now beautifully appointed inside and out with tastefully decorated four double bedroomed, three bath/shower roomed accommodation which enjoys a bright southerly aspect over its gardens to the rear.

• In addition to the main house is a delightful, recently refurbished detached two double bedroomed coach house annexe which is currently used for high calibre holiday letting (for details of letting and income projections please contact Lillicrap Chilcott). The annexe has its own parking area, private gardens and hot tub (available by separate negotiation) and generates a very useful income or indeed provides overflow accommodation for guests, dependent relatives etc, if required.

• The property enjoys a delightfully tranquil setting close to the picturesque Glynn Valley with no close neighbours and enjoying peace, tranquillity and seclusion with views across a protected wooded valley opposite with no noise or light pollution.

• The property enjoys fantastic equestrian facilities with an Olympic sized sand school, three fenced sloping field enclosures and great facilities for livery.

• Higher Drift has an immaculate range of modern outbuildings including a fantastic modern barn (62’ x 33’) with two roller electric doors giving access into and out of this huge storage space with three stables plus a further secure workshop and on the first floor a separate office/studio. In addition, there is a timber field shelter with two further stables.

Higher Drift provides the all too elusive combination of dignified family home of character yet with all the modern day comforts and refinements plus an attractive, large coach house annexe appointed to the same standard as the main residence, which is most rare. It contains a fantastic range of practical modern outbuildings and a manageable acreage plus beautiful private gardens with the whole package situated in a convenient and accessible location in Cornwall close to the south coast but also near to main routes and communications yet so very, very tranquil and private surrounded by glorious protected woodland. Viewing wholeheartedly recommended by the vendors’ sole agent to avoid disappointment.

LOCATION

Higher Drift stands as is name implies high above the beautiful wooded Glynn Valley in Drift Lane. Drift Lane continues up the valley carrying very little traffic and a rich variety of wildlife which include deer, badger, foxes, squirrels and buzzards and belies the fact that the house is within very easy reach of the A38 at the end of the lane offering fast and convenient access to the city of Plymouth which is 27 miles away, 6 miles away and Bodmin Parkway mainline station 2 miles away which is on the London Paddington main line (approximately 4 hours). The main A30 arterial route is accessible some 4 miles to the west offering fast and convenient access around central and West Cornwall and much closer to hand the rugged splendour of .

Just 13 miles away respectively are the three fantastic south coast villages of , and each with its own character and charm separated by some of the most beautiful rugged south Cornish coastline imaginable with a multitude of hidden coves and beaches to explore. The countryside between Higher Drift and the south coast is some of Cornwall’s most beautiful and unspoilt with many parts owned by the historic Boconnoc Estate making this both one of the most accessible yet tranquil locations from which to explore in the county.
