You can also observe the dynamic views from the comfort of the living room, both day and night as birds can be seen gliding and soaring across the mudflats and channel below as the tide comes in and out, an ornithologist's dream! During those chilly winter evenings, sink into the plush sofas with your loved ones, where you can get lost in a book or a TV programme, while the warmth of the woodburning fire and the original exposed beams fill the room with charm. Beyond here is the amply equipped kitchen boasting both induction/electric and AGA cooking facilities, as well as a set of traditional units and wooden worktops with all the appliances you could need to cook up a delicious meal for your family or friends. As the evening draws to a close, retire for the night to the two well-presented bedrooms and sleep with the curtains and blinds open if you like waking to spectacular views. Spend a moment or two within the side and rear lawned garden area, where your canine companion can stretch their legs while you enjoy a soothing evening watching the sunset. Alternatively, head out to the terrace that overlooks the gorgeous flowing waters of the Tamar Estuary! Here, you soak up the peaceful ambience while tucking into some delicious food you've prepared on the barbecue. You can delight in watching dinghies, sailboats, paddleboards and kayaks going by which is a delight for any artists looking to capture a wonderful scene.
