Hoopers Bridge, Bodmin

Woodside is a beautifully renovated and extended detached period home, believed to date from around 1805, occupying a peaceful rural setting within the small hamlet of Hoopers Bridge, near Nanstallon. Set along a quiet country lane and enjoying lovely views over its own land and the surrounding countryside, this is a superb lifestyle property that combines the character of an older Cornish home with the space, comfort and practical design expected by modern buyers.

The house has undergone a comprehensive programme of improvement and now offers approximately 2,700 sq ft of well-planned accommodation. The original stone house has been extended and remodelled to create a substantial five-bedroom home, with particular thought given to the flow of the accommodation, natural light, storage, heating and everyday usability. The result is a home that works well for family life, entertaining, working from home and accommodating guests.

At the heart of the property is a generous kitchen and dining room, designed as a natural gathering space. The kitchen has extensive Silestone quartz work surfaces, excellent storage and a useful pantry/larder, with the layout providing both a practical working kitchen and an inviting space for family meals or entertaining. This is complemented by a sitting room, utility room and a snug, which opens directly to the rear garden and provides a comfortable retreat around the wood burner. A further ground floor room offers flexibility as a study, playroom or home office.

Practical improvements have also been carefully considered. The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, a mechanical ventilation heat recovery system, comprehensive insulation, replacement energy-efficient windows, efficient lighting and appliances, fibre broadband and a large thermal store designed to provide a generous supply of hot water. These features help make Woodside a comfortable and efficient home to run, while retaining the charm and character of the original building.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms, arranged around a spacious landing, together with well-appointed bathroom and shower room facilities. The layout provides excellent family accommodation, while the number of bedrooms also allows for guest rooms, home working or multi-generational living.

Outside, Woodside sits within gardens and three field enclosures extending in total to around 4.2 acres. The land provides space, privacy and a genuine sense of rural living, while a stream running through the grounds adds to the natural character of the setting. There is also an 18ft x 54ft polytunnel frame, ideal for those with an interest in growing or self-sufficiency.

Useful outbuildings include workshops, plant room, log store and garden store areas, providing excellent practical space for storage, hobbies, machinery or potential future use, subject to any necessary permissions. The extent of the workshop and store roof may also be of interest to buyers considering future solar installation, subject to investigation and any necessary consents.
