Situated
in a very sheltered, secluded setting, half a mile from the nearest public
road at the end of a long drive, Wivelscombe Cottage enjoys a very special
creekside setting. Its south facing 1½ acre garden slopes down to
Wivelscombe Lake, which then opens out to the River Lynher on its way to
the Tamar Estuary.There are superb views across the creek to Anthony House (National Trust) and from the garden there is a delightful walk along a footpath, which passes through woodland and continues around the creek, eventually leading to Saltash. The nearest sandy beaches are at Whitsand Bay, while Looe and Polperro are an easy drive. There is an international golf course at St Mellion with country club facilities and a further golf and country club at nearby China Fleet. There is easy access to Plymouth with its famous Hoe and historic Barbican, to South Devon beaches and to The Dartmoor National Park, using the A38 trunk road, which is 2½ miles to the North of Elm Gate. Dating
from 1840, Wivelscombe Cottage is understood to be the former hunting lodge
to the nearby estate. It is Grade II listed and features Gothic arched windows
and vaulted ceilings. Attractively decorated and furnished, it also offers
excellent facilities and is ideal for 2 families or for smaller parties,
for whom reduced rates are available outside the peak weeks. |
