LOCATION
Landlooe Bridge Farm lies a short distance from the tiny rural village of Trewidland in an enviable position with beautiful views over the unspoilt landscape of the East Looe River Valley, which is renowned for its abundance of natural flora and fauna. This location is accessible with the A38 only 3 miles to the north, however it is truly rural and there is a wide network of footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes within the valley providing wonderful opportunities for riding out, nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The village has a primary school rated “good” by Ofsted. Causeland Station on the branch line is only a 5 minute walk away.

There is a local farm shop, with popular café at Widegates catering for most day to day needs and the nearby village of Hessenford has a church and popular public house.

The town of Looe straddles the wide river with its long bridge and stone harbourside which remains important today as a commercial fishing facility, with a thriving tourist industry and popular with boating enthusiasts. On the edge of the town is a branch line railway station which links with the main line at Liskeard (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours).

The coastline either side of Looe is beautiful and unspoilt, easily accessible via the South West Coast Path and the substantial areas of ownership held by the National Trust. There are excellent bathing and surfing beaches all along the south coast with many hidden coves to explore.

Access to the area is good with main roads leading to the A38, west of Plymouth. The market town of Liskeard, to the north, includes a wide range of facilities as does the town of Saltash with a Waitrose store on its northern outskirts. The City of Plymouth lies within commuting distance and has an extensive and historic waterfront together with an excellent range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities. In addition there is a cross channel ferry link at Plymouth with regular services to France and Northern Spain. There are many notable country houses and estates including the outstanding Mount Edgecumbe Estate on the Rame Peninsula.

DESCRIPTION
Landlooe Bridge Farm comprises a small country estate combining the perfect mix of residential accommodation, outbuildings and land in a magical riverside setting. The two residential properties have different characters, the Farmhouse is recently completely refurbished in the contemporary style and the Cow Shed is a recently completed single storey dwelling which incorporates reclaimed materials to create a modern home with rustic character.

Both properties have full residential use so can be occupied independently and present opportunities for multi-generational living or home with income in the form of residential or holiday letting. The Cow Shed also has the potential to increase accommodation by linking with the undeveloped stone barn as allowed by the original planning permission. The properties incorporate quality fixtures, fittings and appliances with brands including Zanussi, Bosch, AEG, Sonos (in Cow Shed) and Villeroy and Boch amongst many others.

The land and outbuildings provide a fantastic amenity with potential for equestrian, horticultural or smallholding/self sufficiency purposes and there is an abundance of observable natural flora and fauna both on the property and within the wider East Looe River Valley landscape which is designated an Area of Great Landscape Value and is steeped in history.
