The Eden Project is of course almost on the doorstep whilst other attractions including The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the popular estuary town of Fowey are also readily accessible. There are a number of local beaches around St. Austell Bay and at Carlyon Bay there is a cliff-top 18-hole golf course. THE PROPERTY Facing approximately south and set amidst extensive mature gardens of just under one acre, Woodpeckers is a substantial character home that offers significant flexibility in its occupation. Beautifully presented and appointed throughout, the property is currently informally arranged to offer two separate units of accommodation with the front portion of the property currently let as a two bedroom holiday cottage. With minimum alterations, however, it would be straightforward to reconfigure the house as a single large 4-5 bedroom family home. There are a total of three individual reception rooms, a large conservatory, attractive family kitchen/dining room, further kitchen, study and four to five bedrooms (three en-suite). The Vendors have formerly operated a successful bed and breakfast that has received excellent reviews and benefits from its close proximity to The Eden Project. Within the grounds is a particularly useful chalet that has been well refurbished to provide comfortable over-spill accommodation.

Additionally there is a car port together with external laundry/utility room. Surrounding the property are superb established mature gardens that are principally laid to lawn interspersed with a wide variety of profusely planted flower and shrub borders together with a number of mature trees. Encircling the eastern and southern facades are paved sun terraces with pathways meandering out amongst the lawns and gently sloping pathways linking these up.
