DESCRIPTION

Cliff Villa is an extraordinarily attractive and imposing detached three storey Victorian stone built villa which has undergone a painstaking, thorough and lavish refurbishment programme started by the previous owners and continued by the current custodians. Previous to the last two owners, the property had been in one family’s ownership for some 50 years remaining untouched by the passage of time. This had left the house delightfully unmeddled with, retaining its glorious internal and external period features which have now been lovingly preserved and enhanced whilst the entire house has been sympathetically brought up to a high modern day standard that remains perfectly in tune with the origins of the house.

All modern services and appliances have been installed which under the previous owner’s time included the overhaul, from the ground floor up of roof, walls and internal refurbishment. The current owners have continued the improvements, firstly by completely re- landscaping the gardens, including creating a large pull-in parking/turning area directly from Egloshayle Road with gates into the front garden. Power, light and water points have been provided to all tiers of the garden with hard landscaping, an open timber summerhouse, gravelled areas and a new workshop/store constructed. The large covered carport area to the rear of the property has been extended and an electric gate provided to the access. The gardens have been re-levelled in places creating more sitting and recreational areas from which to enjoy the fantastic views out over the river, town and countryside.

4 Ref: LCAA8351 Internally, the service areas to the house have been partially reorganised, the kitchen has been delightfully refitted with a range of ivory units topped by granite worktop surfaces and a new Aga cooking range installed. A utility room has been created from what was an external store and the kitchen has been made larger by the removal of a secondary staircase. An old pantry has been converted into a downstairs cloakroom. Some of the windows have been replaced with double glazing and others have been secondary glazed. A Stennah lift has been installed to the rear of the entrance hall providing lift access to the first floor. Sanitaryware and bathrooms have been overhauled or replaced.

This fine property is now resplendent in its finished condition including being presented in good decorative order throughout. Cliff Villa extends to over 3,000sq.ft. and is set within beautifully landscaped and well stocked south west facing gardens, enjoying wonderful views over the River Camel, parkland, part of Wadebridge town and open countryside beyond.

LOCATION

Egloshayle Road is one of the town’s best regarded residential roads although Cliff Villa is unusual in that it has plenty of off-road parking and covered carport area, both of which are highly prized within the town. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase what must be one of Wadebridge’s best houses, believed to date from the mid-1800’s enjoying easy access to the parks and sports clubs along the banks of the River Camel and easy walking access to the town centre.

Wadebridge is a flourishing Cornish town with an excellent mix of shops combining local family traders intermingled with some national stores. The town has its own cinema, well 5 Ref: LCAA8351 regarded primary and secondary schools, with excellent recreational areas and parkland, intermingled with children’s play areas, a bowling club, tennis courts and other sports facilities alongside the River Camel. The town hosts the county’s showground which holds various events throughout the year including the famous . Footpaths on both sides of the river provide access to the unspoilt surrounding countryside with beautiful riverside walks including the famous which has been extended in recent years to provide a traffic free, walking and cycling route with a large bicycle hire shop in Wadebridge itself.

Wadebridge sits on the upper tidal reaches of the River Camel which opens into a wide estuary, further downstream between Rock and . On either side of the estuary are some excellent sheltered sandy beaches which are popular with surfers and bathers alike. The Atlantic Highway (A39) proceeds northwards from Wadebridge towards Devon and there is easy access across to the A30 which then remains largely dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it links with the M5 to and A303 to .
