Upstairs, the house continues to impress with five generously proportioned bedrooms including a fabulous principal suite and an equally substantial second suite with far reaching views. There are also three further bedrooms as well as a separate and well-equipped family bathroom.
Higher Venice's expansive grounds are a true highlight of the property. The gardens feature a variety of stunning landscapes, from the beautifully maintained walled garden to peaceful woodland walks adorned with wildflower banks and bluebell woods. Two shallow streams wind through the grounds, creating a natural, tranquil atmosphere.
For nature lovers and walkers, a pathway at the rear of the garden leads down into the valley, offering a scenic 20-minute walk to the nearby village of Tuckenhay, where you can enjoy excellent pubs and restaurants.
