Woolstone Wainhouse Sleeps 4

The most detailed map of the Woolstone Estate dated 1794 shows the Wainhouse bordering the walled kitchen garden. The window openings in the south wall indicate a very early building on this site, which was rebuilt from a totally derelict state in 2004.

The Wainhouse is a single storey cottage equipped to a particularly high standard and the panoramic views from every window are exceptional. It has private parking right outside the front door and a large garden with barbecue at the rear.

Inside, the modern kitchen has an electric range cooker, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, fridge freezer and microwave whilst the dining area maintains the farmhouse atmosphere with antique pine furniture.

The spacious lounge with old oak beams and vaulted ceiling has multichannel TV, DVD and video. Both bedrooms also have televisions, the main double has an en-suite bathroom and the twin has an adjacent shower room.

Bevilles Barn Sleeps 4

Sir Reginald Beville owned and lived at Woolstone Manor in 1300. His son, John, became notorious by imprisoning wealthy merchants at Woolstone and charging a ransom for their release. He was also involved in a smuggling ring which resulted in him being implicated in the murder of the curate in Poundstock Church during a Sunday service.

The main feature of cottage is its magnificent oak beamed ceilings having been converted from the centuries old Granary.

The open plan kitchen/dining room and lounge occupy the ground floor making a spacious living area. The fully equipped fitted kitchen also has a dishwasher.

Upstairs, there are TWO bedrooms, one double with an en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom with a bathroom opposite. Both rooms overlook the enclosed garden below which has far reaching views across open countryside to the village of Marhamchurch.

Grenvilles Granary
Sleeps 6

Sir Richard Grenville owned Woolstone in 1576. His brother was the famous Sea Captain of King Henry VIII's flag ship The Mary Rose.

The Granary is one of the oldest buildings at Woolstone and has lent itself well to conversion from the medieval grain store of yesteryear to a charming character cottage with all the convenience of modern day living. Grenvilles Granary is especially popular with families bringing their grandparents as it has a separate twin bedroom downstairs with its own toilet and hand basin.

Arranged in an 'L' shape, the kitchen/dining room is separate from the lounge, from which there are views over open farmland to the west and the orchard to the north.

Upstairs, there is a galleried landing leading to a twin bedroom with a bathroom opposite, and the main double bedroom. The twin bedroom situated on a mezzanine level is a favourite with children, and the original arched granary window adds a special touch. The double bedroom and en-suite shower room is particularly spacious allowing plenty of room for cots. Both upstairs bedrooms have lovely views across open farmland.

There is a generous parking area for up to 3 cars and an enclosed garden offering fantastic views of the sunsets to the west.

This cottage books Friday to Friday and sleeps up to 6 people.

Wrights Wood Sleeps 4

Woolstone was purchased by Charles Bluett in 1911 and four generations lived and farmed here until we, the "Wrights", took over in 1997. Whilst the first barn conversions were being built we planted four hundred trees adjacent to the Old Cattle Barn to replace some of the ancient woodlands which had been lost to Dutch Elm disease.

The Old Cattle barn was the last remaining building awaiting restoration and 2007 saw it converted into two tastefully appointed cottages.

Wrights Wood is a spacious 2-storey cottage equipped to a particularly high standard. Access to the open plan lounge with multi-channel TV and DVD is through an entrance hall with WC. French doors lead into an enclosed private garden adjacent to the new woodland with distant views to the village of Marhamchurch. The modern kitchen has integrated dishwasher and washing machine. The large separate dining room opposite is ideal for making family meals an occasion.

The vaulted ceiling landing leads to a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom with adjacent bathroom. Both bedrooms are full of character with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, however televisions provide 21st century entertainment!

Private parking is right outside.

This cottage books Friday to Friday and sleeps upto 4 people.

Teagues Trail Sleeps 4 or 6

Our first priority on arriving at Woolstone was to find a reliable builder accustomed to working in local stone. We found the best - Brian Teague from Crackington Haven. Brian worked relentlessly from 1997 to 2000, achieving all our target dates and never once letting us down. Sadly he never saw the project finished but his sons and team have continued to transform the old buildings with unabated enthusiasm. The Trail starts at the Granary Cottages and ends in a walk through Wrights Woodland.
