Location:
Millbrook, Cornwall
Description:
A waterside cottage with just over an acre of hillside garden and paddock. 26' sitting/dining room, utility/rear hall, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, landing/study, bathroom/wc, delightful hillside garden and terraces, studio, woodland, long driveway, double garage, paddock.
LOCATION
Adjoining the tidal waters of Millbrook Lake which forms an inlet off the River Tamar, and on the lower side of the Mount Edgcumbe Country Estate, this is a location of extraordinary quality. The cottage lies adjacent to the country road that leads from Millbrook to Cremyll, and enjoys unobstructed views over the tidal foreshore, moorings, Southdown Marina and across the Tamar to the City of Plymouth in the distance.
As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the Rame Peninsula has many attractions. The village of Millbrook includes a wide range of local services including small supermarkets, local shops, surgery, primary school, pubs and restaurants and other facilities, while Cremyll includes a pub and a pedestrian ferry linking to Durnford Street in the City of Plymouth. The nearby Mount Edgcumbe estate consists of a mixture woodland and pasture, frequented by deer and with beautiful walks leading around to the twin fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, to Penlee Point and Rame Head with the wide expanse of Whitsand Bay to the South West. This area is well away from tourist haunts but does offer some of the most outstanding scenery that the region as a whole has to offer.
Access to Plymouth is via the town of Torpoint, to the north, with the vehicle ferry linking to the City. Alternatively the A38 is accessible about fifteen miles to the north west, which provides links to all parts of the region and, via the Tamar Bridge, also to the City of Plymouth.
DESCRIPTION
The cottage lies at the end of a short terrace and retains many old features. Thought to date back to the 17th century, this is an intriguing property of traditional character, but with modern facilities added. The aspect from almost all rooms is of an uninterrupted vista over the water. The land rises to the rear and provides an unusual facility for a waterside property with a combination of easily managed terraced gardens, woodlands, a separate driveway, outbuildings, and a sheltered paddock. The accommodation includes the following:-

OUTSIDE
Adjacent to the cottage is a small walled garden with porch to front door, stone paved area. Wide gateway at side leading to rear courtyard area (over which a neighbour enjoys a right of way by foot). The most attractive garden area lies above this, with meandering paths leading up through lawns and shrubberies to an elevated garden with widespread and most fascinating views across the river and beyond. Beside this area is the following:-
GARDEN STORE/TRACTOR SHED 12' x 9' (Internally) (3.66m x 2.74m ( Internally)
ADJACENT LEAN TO GREENHOUSE 8' x 6' (2.44m x 1.83m)
At road level the property owns a long tarmac strip adjacent to the roadside, providing parking space for numerous vehicles. Beyond this a driveway winds up through the woods providing good access to the double garage and car port. This then provides vehicular access to the upper side of the garden and fence to the paddock (see photograph). This beautifully sheltered area is protected by trees to the rear and again enjoys views across to the river and beyond. The owner currently has a beehive in this area.
