The historic village of Blisland, a favourite of the poet Sir John Betjeman, is characterised by its ancient Norman church and traditional village green, one of very few Cornish villages to still retain this quintessentially English feature. Situated on the western edge of the magnificent Bodmin Moor, Blisland is known for the popular Blisland Inn and is positioned within a short drive of the A30 in the east and the magnificent north coast in the west. There is also a shop, post office and village primary school rated ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED. As well as its idyllic rural setting on the fringes of the moor, Blisland is blessed with good access to the main A30 carriageway and also the mainline station at Bodmin Parkway, whilst the Camel Estuary and breathtaking north coast at Polzeath, Rock and Port Isaac are within a short drive. The riverside town of Wadebridge is just eight miles away and has a good range of shops, restaurants and schools. The Camel Trail, just one mile away, links Bodmin and Wadebridge to the resort of Padstow via a beautiful cycle path and there are golf courses at St. Enodoc, Trevose and Lanhydrock. THE PROPERTY Penrose Farm is situated in a south facing, traffic-free location, tucked away from view and well away from the humdrum of every day life. Commanding a wonderful setting with glorious rural and wooded views towards the Camel Valley and Shell Woods, this is every bit the Cornish retreat. Understood to originate from around 1560 and having undergone a thorough yet incredibly sympathetic scheme of renovation, modernisation and extension works since 2013 overseen by a Truro-based architect, Penrose Farm now perfectly blends originality, charm and character with contemporary flourishes, dressed and finished in a classic style with nature very much at its heart. The accommodation is generous, elegant and unique. The ground floor includes a beautifully appointed family kitchen with flagstone granite floors, six oven Aga, a central island and window seat. Directly opposite is the snug with its woodburner. Leading off the kitchen is the modern extension which blends in perfectly with the original external stone and slate. Bi fold doors open out to the garden and the room enjoys the most wonderful west facing valley views. The separate sitting room is defined by the original ceiling mouldings and this charming room leads to the library, which serves as a link to the games / family room with its double height vaulted ceiling and adjacent TV room. In addition there is a wonderful conservatory, utility room, boot room, shower, WC and cellar. There are three bedrooms and family bathroom arranged across the first floor, with the master bedroom suite comprising a dressing room, bedroom and sumptuous en suite bathroom with centrally positioned roll top bath. The ‘hidden’ bathroom situated above bedroom 3 enables each bedroom on the middle floor to have its own bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor, perfect as a children’s hideaway. The natural light throughout the property and charming outlook from the vast majority of the accommodation adds to the huge appeal at Penrose.
