About this property
… perched ¼ mile above the centre of Calstock, surrounded by trees with great views over the river Tamar, a smart, totally self-contained extension to a big detached house. It is surrounded by 5 acres of mature garden and meadow, full of wildlife, some chickens, a friendly dog, cats and spring-time lambs. Reputedly, it’s where Joseph Turner found inspiration for his painting ‘Sunshine on the Tamar’. Access is over 400 yards of single track lane, the last 100 yards of which is hardcore.
Inside, modern and immaculate. From decking (table/chairs, barbecue), patio doors to open-plan living/dining/kitchen (washing machine, microwave, larder fridge) with ceramic floor, woodburner and TV/DVD. Double bedroom (5' bed with footboard) with glazed doors to garden; big shower-room (wet-room suite). No children, except pre-crawling babies. Wonderfully private with footpath to village pub.

"The location, facilities and information for days out were of a high standard. The modernised accommodation was very well maintained and the under-floor heating a pleasant background warmth. Views were stunning from the property and the chickens fun to watch."
