The property tucked away on the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall sits on eight acres, has a spacious layout and is the perfect home for a family looking to upscale away from the busyness of life.
But what might surprise people is that the home has a huge spring-fed pond, which even has its own summer and boating house.
Listed for £650,000 with Stags Estate Agent, the house, in Altarnun, Launceston, is described as a 'well-proportioned bungalow' offering 'stunning views' across its grounds and the beautiful countryside surrounding it.
It boasts of well-maintained gardens, a pond with two islands and around 3.77 acres of pastureland divided into three enclosures.
Describing the outside, the listing says: 'The property is approached via electric gates and a sweeping private drive, with ample off-road parking and an integral double garage, arranged in an "L" shape, with two electric up-and-over doors.
'The garage is connected to power, light and water, and offers excellent scope for workshop space or potential conversion (subject to the necessary consents).
'The gardens are a true feature of the property, with a gently sloping lawn and a variety of shrubs and mature trees.

The entrance hallway sets the tone for the rest of the property, offering access to all rooms as well as a handy storage cupboard for everyday essentials.
The kitchen and dining room is a bright and generous space with dual-aspect windows that frame the rural views.
The kitchen boasts a range of modern units, an integrated dishwasher, an eye-level double oven, and inset hob.
