Five bed detached house to rent in Liskeard, Liskeard, PL14

Space For A Large Family, Dark Skies And Silence For Your Sanity. No signal, no streetlights. Just five bedrooms, five reception rooms, and a bar-topped games room at the end of a single farm track beside Siblyback Lake.

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping the noise – this is it.

Siblyback House sits in a remote spot within a 968-acre estate, with landowners who have ambitions to transform it into one of the UK's largest temperate rainforest restoration projects.

It’s a stunning spot with skies so dark the stars look close enough to touch. That’s hardly surprising when you’re in the middle of the Bodmin Moor Dark Skies Park - they even recommend Siblyback Lake as a great stargazing spot.

The owners are passionate about restoring the land and fostering rich biodiversity. As custodians of the surrounding land, they are looking to find tenants who will appreciate the unique setting of the House.

It’s the last property down a long single-lane track, with only the odd passing tractor or cyclist to disturb the peace.

There’s no mobile signal in the house and no streetlights for miles – once you’ve had a night here, you’ll wonder how you ever put up with the buzz and chatter of daily modern life.

Inside, there’s room for the whole family to spread out.

Five double bedrooms, three with en-suites, five reception rooms for whatever mix of working, relaxing or playing you like – and a full-floor games room with its own bar area on the top floor.

Downstairs, the kitchen has an oil-fired Aga for cooking and hot water, backed up by an immersion when needed. The fireplaces look impressive but they’re just for show, there’s brand-new electric heating throughout – and fresh flooring and paintwork to match.

A two-storey garage with light and power sits just beside the house, along with a private garden, deck and plenty of lush lawn for summer lounging.

It ticks the practical boxes too - there's a large utility room and cloakroom – ideal for muddy dogs, sandy boots and all the kit that comes with active family life.

Upstairs, the bedrooms feel calm and quiet – with views over the surrounding farmland, ponds and out to Siblyback Lake.

There’s even a large walk-in shower and a modern freestanding bath in the family bathroom, just the spot to soak and stargaze through the window.

And the top-floor games room has space for sofas, screens, ping-pong tables – whatever makes your weekends feel like weekends.

This isn’t a place for quick trips to the shops. Liskeard is nearest for schools and essentials - about 20 minutes away - with Looe and Fowey within about a 30 minute drive for family beach days.

Siblyback Lake is on your doorstep, with Olive and Co Café on the eastern shore - it’s well worth a visit. You should also check out Inkie’s Smokehouse at Golitha Falls, which is only a short drive away.

There’s no land included with the property, so no room for horses or a smallholding – just a large garden, a detached garage and space to call your own.

If you’re a family who’ll embrace the remoteness – who’d love the idea of dark skies, bird song and stillness – this place will make you exhale the moment you arrive.
