Cornish country house with pretty gardens

Cutbrawn is a Cornish country property dating back to 1475 which has been sympathetically restored using modern and reclaimed materials, with an adjoining wing which currently provides an additional income to the owners.

The house is full of character features such as oak panelling and floors, and offers excellent spacious accommodation including a fine fitted study, a small library and the impressive drawing room which has an original fireplace with wood-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room has a marble floor, oak beams, and screen and casements to a terrace and the gardens outside. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including the master suite, and a family shower room.
