Carne Manor, Altarnun, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

Carne Manor is a unique moorland gem with an 8' high 360° walled garden providing it's own micro-climate. This ancient property has a richly stocked and private garden with sheltered areas to be enjoyed on any day in the year. The property has granite and stone solid walls with granite mullion windows creating beautiful elevations beneath a pitched roof with natural slate cladding. A large conservatory on the sunny side creates a further area of genteel living space. Astride the wall of the garden is the detached cottage also with granite mullion windows, natural slate roof and conservatory. The access drive to the property is twin gated, level and gravelled flanked by elegant areas of shaped level lawn leading to a private area of gravelled parking and turning with discretely situated double garage. Both the Manor and the Cottage have oil fired central heating which also heats the domestic hot water and electric heating.   There are radiators in all principal rooms.
