A delightful Grade II Listed former vicarage on the outer fringes of South Petherwin, near Launceston, is for sale through Miller Countrywide at a guide price of £750,000.

Manderley is a charming former vicarage which has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current vendors to provide comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation.

Believed in part to date back to 1697, the property offers an abundance of character features including flagstone floors, sash windows, many with shutters, exposed stone and beamwork, ceiling roses and moulded cornice work. The kitchen/dining room has been refitted with oak units, capped with an Iroko worktop and butler's sink complementing an oil fired rayburn.

The sitting room is a delightful dual aspect room with large bay window, overlooking the koi ponds, the main focal point for the room being a truly magnificent Minster Mulchelney fireplace. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and additional fifth bedroom or study.

The grounds of Manderley have been subject to major landscaping works and now offer an intriguing and highly unusual combination of areas suitable for entertaining guests and delightfully tranquil corners in which to enjoy the breathtaking surroundings.

The main focus of the grounds, in the opinion of the agents, is the small trout lake with central island accessed via a natural timber bridge. In addition to the lake are the formal koi pond and several ancillary ponds and water features.

Guests are well catered for with a covered terrace, heated swimming pool, four hole pitch and putt golf course and tunnel. The present owners have planted a vast array of specimen trees and shrubs, which over years will further enhance the already delightful surroundings.
