Watergate LaneSt. Mabyn, Bodmin, Cornwall, PL30 3BJ

Watergate Cottage has an attractive front façade, solidly built of local stone, accentuated with red brick lintels, and a neatly arranged garden.

The front entrance door opens into a lobby and the dual aspect kitchen/diner. A large central island gives convenient storage. There are fitted cupboards and free standing appliances, as well as the oil-fired boiler. A glazed door leads to the back garden.

The sitting room, accessed from the front lobby and from the kitchen, has two west facing windows overlooking the lane, a stone chimney breast and multi fuel burner. A very spacious storage cupboard reaches under the stairs that lead up to a half landing and the bathroom, which has a freestanding shower and bath.

The stairs are full of natural light with windows overlooking the garden. The upper landing opens on to three bedrooms, two double and one slightly smaller. All are west facing and have nice views over the lane and gardens beyond. There is good storage space on the landing and an airing cupboard.

The history of this cottage goes back more than 250 years. It is believed to have been a brew house, semi - detached as it is to the malt house. It has been in the same family's ownership since the 1960s and has undergone major changes since it was two cottages in previous centuries.

Outside - Watergate Lane is a one-way single track for vehicles and a backwater from the through roads in the village. The village shop, the memorial hall, the school, the playing field, the parish church and the pub are all within a very short walk, yet Watergate Cottage is a quiet retreat.

The drive leads to a generous sized garage and allows parking for at least two more vehicles. A paved patio is bordered by colourful flowers and shrubs and is a tranquil, sunny spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
