Situation - Downicary Farm Cottage is situated on the edge of a courtyard, approximately 5 miles north of Launceston and 0.5 miles east of the popular village of St Giles on the Heath. It lies in attractive rolling countryside on the Devon/Cornwall border, within easy reach of the well served town of Launceston and the A30, which provides a mainly dual-carriageway link between the Cathedral cities of Exeter and Truro.

Introduction - The cottage forms part of an attractive 54.89 acre farm which lies within a ringfence, with the farmstead set back from the road. A minor lane runs through the land and the River Carey (a tributary to the nearby River Tamar) forms the farm's western boundary. A disused railway line also runs through the land. There are no public rights of way crossing the property.

Initially, the farm is offered as a whole or just the two dwellings individually, with as many of the buildings and as much land as is practical to sell with them. Any residual land will then be marketed separately afterwards. A lotting plan and price list of the additional land and buildings is available upon request. The dwellings are both semi-detached.
