Both Launceston and Okehampton are within easy reach of the A30 (just over two miles to the north) and there are regular direct trains to London Paddington from Liskeard, as well as three daily flights from Cornwall airport to Gatwick. Summary of Accommodation Hornacott dates back to around 1735 and has had several additions and renovations since, most notably in 1800 (spacious sitting room and master bedroom) and 2009 (kitchen). The current owners have had the south facing property for 23 years, prior to which the house had been owned by one of the cast of the original Poldark series. The property boasts many original features and has been updated and extended to now provide highly versatile accommodation arranged as four bedrooms and three reception rooms in the main body of the house with a one bedroomed guest annexe. Alternatively the arrangement could work well as three bedrooms in the main house with two in the guest wing. Countryside views are enjoyed from Hornacott and for those wanting an historic and characterful country home, yet close to major towns, this is a thoroughly charming lifestyle choice.
