5 Wood Drive is a wonderfully light and spacious home. It was built twenty years ago to compliment the St Mellion International Golf and Country Club development. Its current owners were attracted by its stunning location and the high degree of comfort that it offered.

The current owners of 5 Wood Drive made a lifestyle decision based primarily on the location of the property on the edge of St Mellion International Golf Club. They were influenced by the fact that it is part of an immaculately maintained estate and that it faces due South resulting in the maximum amount of light. The garden is very private yet has fantastic long views over the golf course to the countryside beyond. St Mellion Golf and Country Club with two golf courses, two pools, a very well equipped gym and restaurants has been a focus for both sporting and social life.

Once again, location has been important in ensuring easy access to Plymouth, Tavistock, Callington, Launceston and Liskeard. There are several supermarkets close by and Callington, four miles away, has a large doctor’s surgery, a dentist, banks, hairdressers, restaurants and an amazing ironmonger.

The house itself is spacious with five bedrooms and is ideal for both family living and for entertaining. The current owners use all the rooms in the house. The large conservatory off the kitchen tends to be the main daytime area for both sitting and eating. It has double doors onto the extensive patio which works as an addition to the house in the summer months. The large sitting room with its powerful gas stove is warm and relaxing for winter evening use.

The current owners have found the design of the house makes it very good for house guests and for family. Everyone has space and privacy even when all the bedrooms are occupied. The large en-suite annex with its separate entrance has been ideal both for an adult child who came to live at home for a year - and as a play area for grandchildren.

The property is well-equipped with double garages, parking for a further three cars, mains gas central heating, high speed broadband, DAB radio and all the other features one would expect for a comfortable life.

The reception rooms tend to have a seasonal use. The conservatory is an all year

room, and with comfy seating and dining table,

is a sociable and relaxing room for family living.

However in the summer, it opens onto the patio,

which becomes an outdoor extension. It has the

sun from sunrise until sunset, and is the perfect

place for al fresco dining, or to relax with a drink

of wine on a balmy and tranquil summer evening.
