Description:
A successful, well-established holiday cottage complex. Grade II Listed farmhouse, seven cottages and landscaped coarse fishing lakes with nature trail in a spectacular setting surrounded by moorland. Stable Block with Planning Permission for conversion to a further cottage and 2 pasture fields, one with Planning Permission for American style stabling with 10 boxes.
Situation & Amenities
The property occupies a dramatic and timeless setting with views over the surrounding moorland. Whilst enjoying complete peace and seclusion, it is only just over 3 miles from the A30 to the south and about 5 miles from the A39 Atlantic Highway to the north. The A30 provides fast access to Bodmin (8 miles) and Launceston (18.5 miles) and connects directly with the M5 motorway at Exeter. East Rose is in an ideal location from which to explore this particularly wild and fascinating part of Cornwall whilst remaining within easy driving distance of many popular holiday attractions. Located both on the Cornish Way and National Cycle Route 3, East Rose has always catered for those on cycling holidays and many other activities are available within the area including pony trekking, surfing, golf and sea fishing. The wonderful Camel Trail commences a mile and a half from East Rose providing a marvellous off-road route for cyclists and pedestrians culminating alongside the estuary at Padstow. The closest point on the coast to join the South West Coast Path is about 8 miles away, whilst further afield are delightful beaches and coves from Tintagel and Boscastle to the north to Port Isaac, Polzeath and Rock to the south. East Rose is situated between two charming small villages, St. Breward and Blisland, each providing a Post Office/ stores, primary school, church and popular pub serving excellent food. Secondary schooling is available in Bodmin, Wadebridge and Camelford with independent schools at Launceston and Truro. There is a fast rail link from Exeter with trains to London taking just over 2 hours and airports at Newquay and Exeter.
Description
East Rose is an ancient moorland farmstead which is believed to date back to the 12th Century, although the oldest part of the present farmhouse is believed to date from the late 16th or early 17th Century. It is Grade II Listed and retains such features as slate flagged floors, a granite fireplace with bread oven, stone mullioned window and, of particular interest, a stone spiral staircase. The self-catering holiday business has been established for over 20 years with the cottages having been converted from the original farm buildings. The cottages have considerable character with exposed timbers and stonework, with many benefiting from the delightful views over the lakes and surrounding countryside. A particular feature of East Rose is the high quality coarse fishery making it a superb venue for a fishing holiday. The 5 lakes have been professionally landscaped and, with a surface area of more than 3 acres, form a superb natural water and are a delight to visitors who also walk the accompanying nature trail. The immediate grounds, which include a large car park, extend to approximately 8.58 acres. In addition, a stable block with Planning Permission for conversion into a further 3 bedroom cottage may also be purchased, together with a further 6.23 acres in two fields, one of which has Planning Permission for a large Equestrian Centre. This provides an excellent opportunity for anyone wishing to develop the business along these lines, taking advantage of the direct access to the moor. East Rose thus provides an existing successful business with scope for further expansion if desired.

The Grounds
The property is approached off the moor over a cattle grid with a drive leading to a large car park which is cut into the bank to partially conceal it from the farmhouse and cottages. The farmhouse has its own private garden and there are most attractive grounds immediately around the buildings with gated access leading to the beautiful area surrounding the 5 lakes where visitors can also walk the nature trail. There are two pasture fields totalling 6.13 acres, one of which having planning permission for the construction of American-style stabling with ten boxes (eight stables and two foaling boxes) tack room and feed store.
The Lakes
Four of the five lakes have been professionally developed into a high-quality coarse fishery with 22 thoughtfully designed and sited pegs to choose from. Top Lane and Deep Pool provide some excellent sport for the serious and more experienced angler with Tench to 8 lbs and Carp to 22 lbs. Island Lake is stocked with Roach, Rudd and Bream to 3lbs and Crucian Carp to 4lbs. Eery has been especially designed and stocked to encourage young anglers. There is a fishing hut with electric light and power.
The Business
East Rose is a well-established holiday cottage complex providing a desirable lifestyle business. It produces a viable income from the cottages, supported by coarse fishing and cycle hire. The present owners do not employ a letting agency preferring to generate business through their own website www.eastrose.co.uk. Which now incorporates an on-line booking system. Financial information can be made available to bona fide purchasers. There is potential for expanding the business through providing cream teas and catering which has been undertaken successfully by previous owners. Planning Permission also exists for expansion through converting the Stable Block into a further 3 bedroom cottage and developing an equestrian centre.
