LOCATION

A charming cottage situated on the outskirts of the rural hamlet of Pendrift just off the lower southern edge of Bodmin Moor, located between the Moor and the picturesque and popular village of Blisland. Blisland village enjoys excellent facilities with a local shop/post office and a popular pub which has won awards as the CAMRA pub of the year. The village has an impressive local church referred to by Sir John Betjeman as ‘dazzling and amazing’ and the beautiful village green is surrounded by many historic houses which support a thriving village community and school.

A country lane that exits one of the top corners of the village green, provides access to Pendrift which is approached over a quiet country lane and comprises just a small hamlet of houses and barns surrounded by beautiful open countryside and with an elevated position that provides this cottage with some fantastic views out over the surrounding countryside towards the Camel Estuary and the sea in the distance.

The Camel Trail is only about a mile away and Blisland is extremely accessible from the A30 which lies some 3 miles away with other nearby villages comprising St Breward 2 miles, St Tudy 4 miles and the towns of Bodmin and Wadebridge some 6-9 miles respectively (all distances are approximate). The towns of Bodmin and Wadebridge offer a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities with Bodmin providing a mainline station that provide a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. The nearby A30 remains dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network.
