Guide £635,000 Highlands, Cox Park, Latchley, Cornwall PL18 9BB Guide £635,000 www.mansbridgebalment.co.uk With its 7 stables, floodlit sand school, nearly 10 acres of land, peaceful situation in the Tamar Valley AONB, views to Kit Hill and excellent riding out this beautifully presented home is ideally equipped for the equestrian enthusiast. SITUATION This characterful and beautifully presented detached family home is set in a peaceful but easy to reach location just inside the Cornish border surrounded by the attractive wooded countryside of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Tamar itself can be reached by a pleasant walk down the quiet country road that leads to the property and there is excellent riding out in the area on minor roads, bridleways and through Duchy of Cornwall woodlands. The detached residence has been much improved and extended by the current owners over recent years and is set in an attractive position on the edge of the small hamlet of Cox Park being the last house before open countryside which runs down to the small village of Latchley half a mile away. There are attractive views of the surrounding countryside and to Kit Hill particularly from the rear of the property, which is West facing and the views can be enjoyed from the extensive decked terrace to the rear of the property and also from the two balconies to either side of the master bedroom suite on the first floor. From the road double high wooden gates open to an extensive driveway and parking which leads beyond the residence to a garage, games room and onto the stable yard, hay store, tack and feed store and onto the sand school and paddocks beyond all accessed via an access lane with some woodland lying at the bottom of the grounds adjoining Duchy woodland. As well as enjoying attractive views of the surrounding countryside towards Kit Hill nearby the property is located within two miles of local shops and services and the A390 is just over 1.25 miles giving easy access to Tavistock and to Callington and leading on to Plymouth via the A388 to the South. The railway station at Gunnislake provides a branch line service to Plymouth with wider facilities, university, theatre, high street and out of town shopping centres along with many other facilities along with being a popular sailing centre. The popular Stannary Town of Tavistock is approximately 7 miles distant with high street shopping, supermarkets, historic town centre with its Pannier Market, primary and secondary education and independent education at Mount Kelly. The open expanse of Dartmoor National Park is just beyond Tavistock and within easy travelling distance. The river can also be accessed via nearby Calstock with trips by boat along the river to Plymouth. The National Trust property of Cotehele lies about 4 miles distant. Also nearby is the Kit Hill country park lying less than 2 miles away. DESCRIPTION This comfortable family home has a bright contemporary style and feel after being extended and modified by the current owners with great flare and who have developed the building from the original bungalow including installing a superb first floor master bedroom suite with two balconies, ensuite bathroom and dressing room as well as far reaching views, and installation of a contemporary family bathroom with underfloor heating, stylish kitchen/ dining room, opening through to sitting room with fireplace, doors out to the decked terrace and also with remotely operated mood lighting.

Outside the high double wooden gates give access to the gravelled drive leading past the house to parking, garage and stables, into the stable yard past a garden area and chicken run. A wooden garage is currently used as a store and a former double wooden garage is now set up as a games room with power and light and may also offer potential as a home office subject to any necessary consents. A gate from the drive leads into a concreted stable yard with seven purpose built stables, bale store and secure tack and feed rooms. A further gate beyond leads through the floodlit sand school and to an access lane leading down to a further garden area with vegetable and fruit garden as well as an orchard and to two enclosed paddocks and a larger field at the end of the land gently sloping down to an area of woodland on the Western boundary.

  • The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
    MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.

  • CALSTOCK, DANESCOMBE and COTEHELE WOODS
    CALSTOCK, DANESCOMBE and COTEHELE WOODS The calendar has turned yet again which means that some of our regulars have gone off with a different set of people who meet once a month for a longer walk than our ‘Walk & Talk’ group do. I understand they are walking at Bude today so, with missing regulars and rather iffy weather, our numbers were down to 17 as we set off along Lower Kelly. June is the month when Foxgloves, Valerian and Ox-eye Daises are at their best and it wasn’t long before we spotted Valerian growing out of the wall on our left hand side. As we walked past a gate with the remains of the steep Incline railway behind, I was reminded that although much still remains of the past in Calstock, just as much lies beneath our feet or under a tangle of plants as nature attempts to reclaim what was once hers while many of the structures have now been put to a new use. The former quay is now a car park while old shops, pubs and hotels have become dwellings and the large Chapel in Sand Lane is now an Arts Centre. Shortly we walked past an old railway carriage which has now become home to a workshop, but I wonder how many of you spotted a Lime Kiln being used to support a small Grape Vine! I wasn’t feeling too good this morning and not in a very talkative mood so I chose to walk alone for a while and my mind soon began to wander as everyone continued onwards; I started thinking about the origins of the name Calstock and wondered if those 19th century workers shortened the name to ‘Cally’ like they do ‘Gunni’ for Gunnislake or ‘Tavi’ for Tavistock.

  • Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study
    CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER STUDY Overview and Technical Report Final Report May 2007 Forward The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study 2005-2007 has been developed as a joint project between the local authorities in Cornwall, the National Trust and the AONB units of Cornwall, the Tamar Valley and the Isles of Scilly supported by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England). Diacono Associates in conjunction with White Consultants were appointed in 2005 to undertake a Landscape Character Assessment for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This updates the Cornwall Landscape Assessment published in 1994. This report sets out the methodology by which Landscape Character Areas have been identified, based on Landscape Description Units, and brings together the main findings of the study including the initial consultation stages. Part of the study included an assessment of landscape sensitivity at the level of the Landscape Description Units. This aspect of the study is however to be the subject of further investigation and the findings set out in this report have not therefore been endorsed at this stage by the participating organisations. This report will form the basis of a number of areas of further research and investigation including landscape sensitivity, and seascape assessment as well as the further consultation on the draft Landscape Character Area Descriptions.

  • East Cornwall, South Devon and Dartmoor
    EAST CORNWALL, SOUTH DEVON AND DARTMOOR The geology between Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, including part of South Devon comprises Carboniferous and Middle Devonian metasediments of sandstones, mudstones, black shales, cherts and volcanics, all of which have been subjected to thrusting. Into these has been intruded the Bodmin and Dartmoor mass, as well as satellite stocks of Kit Hill, Hingston/Gunnislake in Cornwall and Hemerdon in Devon. Within these sediments lie stratiform manganese silicate and carbonate deposits as well as indications of lead-zinc-copper volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The setting is similar to the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) in southern Spain and Portugal. Skarn deposits with mixed copper, zinc and arsenic sulphides, and one of which has tin silicates, have formed from the same volcano-sedimentary sequences and lie on the northern edge of the Dartmoor granite near Okehampton, inside the metamorphic aureole. The granite related main-stage mineralization ranges from large copper deposits on the south-eastern corner of the Bodmin granite around Minions to a tungsten-tin stockworks at Hemerdon to the southwest of the main Dartmoor mass; to tin, tin-iron progressing eastwards into iron deposits on Dartmoor as well as placer deposits of cassiterite and woframite on Bodmin Moor. On the East side of Datmoor in the Teign Valley occurs Pb,Zn, Ba, Ag, low temperature crosscourse mineralization. On the south coast of Devon near Torquay lies the epithermal gold-palladium occurrence at Hope’s Nose, hosted in Devonian limestones. East Cornwall (Bodmin Moor to Gunnislake) The geology of this area ranges from the granites of Bodmin Moor and the small outcrops of Kit Hill and Hingston Down/Gunnislake to Devonian and Carboniferous metasediments and volcanics.
