DESCRIPTION The name Suncrest is apt for this delightful period house as it faces south and is on the crest of a hill taking in broad countryside views to the rear. The double fronted detached house has three double bedrooms and a large bath/shower room on the first floor with the ground floor being a little more extensive due to the front porch and a large modern conservatory to the side that overlooks the garden and opens onto a wraparound deck positioned to take in the views and sun. In addition, there are two good sized reception rooms to the front with high ceilings, fireplaces and areas of exposed stone wall. To the rear is a more modern extension housing the kitchen/breakfast room, a rear hall and wc. 3 Ref: LCAA6780 In addition to the main house there is a fantastic detached one bedroomed holiday letting unit which has proved extremely popular due to the accessible location between the north Cornish coast and the publicly accessible areas of Bodmin Moor. Suncrest Lodge as it is known would also make a perfect dependent relative annexe or could be let on a shorthold basis. Although the house is set off of the main road from Wadebridge to Camelford, it is well back behind a deep lawned frontage which although is owned by the Council, our clients have maintained it with their blessing and have planted trees in front of the house. An attractive long driveway leads to a parking area and to the rear of Suncrest Lodge is its own private area of garden which is well screened from the house but still takes in views over countryside. The gardens for the house wraparound the sides and rear providing sun or shelter throughout the day. Areas of lawn are edged with wondrous beds generally set around the base of specimen trees. To the rear of the house are a collection of outbuildings including a wonderful old former piggery made of granite and random stone under a large tiled slated roof. In addition, there is a modern block built workshop, a greenhouse, growing plots and an insulated utility shed with space for appliances. 4 Ref: LCAA6780 Suncrest is extremely well presented throughout and is a handsome house that one would be proud to own. It also creates an income and is one of Cornwall’s most favoured areas with so much to see and do close by all adding to its appeal.
