* Freehold
Enchantingly nestled within a picturesque setting, Woodgate is not merely a
property; it's a realm of magic and timeless allure. Steeped in history, this
impressive and deceptively spacious estate unfolds its story, tracing back to
1814 when it emerged as a Pencarrow farm, a creation of the skilled artisan
Joseph Kestle.
A mystical touch lingers, confirmed by a weathered wall plate on the cottage's
exterior, whispering secrets of its bygone era.
Pencarrow, the original custodian, relinquished its hold in 1960, passing the
baton to a lineage of only five guardians, each woven into the tapestry of
Woodgate's legacy.
Embraced by approximately 10 acres of registered smallholding, Woodgate is a
haven where mixed woodlands and grazing fields dance in harmony. In its youth,
the land was a symphony of strawberries, cider apples, and Cornish violets,
dispatched on a whimsical journey to London from the nearby Grogley station.
The estate wears its agricultural history proudly, adorned with original
features that breathe life into its timeworn stones.
Step into the heart of Woodgate, where a bookcase reminiscent of 'Narnia'
stands as a portal to enchantment, once a pathway to Badgers Holt, now
awaiting the whisper of restoration. The main kitchen, a former apple store,
and the lower lounge, a tale spun from the remnants of stables and milking
yards, echo with the laughter of bygone days.
The main residence unfolds its magic through three reception rooms, a
farmhouse kitchen, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional hobby
room. A hidden annex, seamlessly entwined through the mystical "Narnia"
bookcase, beckons with two bedrooms, an open - plan living space, and a family
bathroom.
Beyond the stone walls, Woodgate's grounds gracefully descend, revealing a
magical realm of meadows and the river Camel. Here, the river's tidal embrace
invites the daring to kayak or revel in wild swims. Amidst the embrace of
ancient trees, family barbecues under the caress of warm summer days become
enchanting affairs.
The river Camel, a haven for salmon and trout, lends its magic to fishing
along 500 meters of river frontage, granted by the guardianship of appropriate
licenses. A short stroll away, the Camel Trail unfurls, a magical path leading
to Padstow, Wadebridge, Bodmin, Camel Valley vineyard and the mystical
moors. Camel Valley Vineyard has been producing award - winning, world - class
wines in a beautiful corner of Cornwall since 1989.
Woodgate, with its historic roots, adaptive spaces, and natural wonders, is
not just a property; it's a magical haven where dreams intertwine with
reality.
