Description

Set quietly on the edge of a charming Cornish village, this remarkable farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to step into a way of life that feels both grounded in history and perfectly suited to modern living. Held within the same ownership for over twenty years, the property carries a sense of heritage and care that is immediately felt on arrival.

The main farmhouse is rich in character, with five well proportioned bedrooms and a natural flow that suits both family life and entertaining. At its heart are two welcoming reception rooms, each offering a slightly different mood depending on the time of day. The focal point of the focal sitting room is a beautiful granite fireplace, complete with a wood burning stove, creating a space that invites long evenings, particularly as the seasons turn. There is a warmth and authenticity here that cannot be recreated, only preserved and enjoyed.

Beyond the main house, two separate cottages each provide comfortable two bedroom accommodation with holiday letting use, offering excellent additional income potential. They sit naturally within the setting, offering privacy while still feeling part of the whole.

Outside, the lifestyle truly comes into its own. The property has approximately six acres of quality pasture land, gently rolling and opening out to far reaching views across the surrounding countryside. There is a sense of space and freedom that is increasingly hard to find. Private gardens wrap around the house, offering areas to relax, dine, and enjoy the slower pace of rural living. A designated area is set for a substantial vegetable garden with fruit cages that provide the opportunity for a more self sufficient lifestyle, while various outbuildings add flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future potential.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains well connected. The nearby village offers everyday amenities including a welcoming local pub within walking distance. There is a strong sense of community and the dramatic North Cornish coastline is within easy reach, making spontaneous trips to the beach part of daily life rather than a special occasion.

This is a home with genuine historic significance, one that tells a story while offering the next owner the chance to write their own chapter. Properties of this nature, combining land, income potential, character and location, are rarely available, particularly after such a long period of ownership.

Important Information

These particulars are intended as a general guide only and do not form part of any offer or contract. Whilst every reasonable effort has been made to ensure accuracy, buyers should satisfy themselves by inspection and through their own legal and professional advisers. Mills & Mills have not tested any services, appliances or equipment, and all measurements and distances are approximate and should not be replied upon.

Cottage Use: The two cottages currently have consent for use as holiday accommodation. The vendors are willing to explore with the Local Planning Authority the potential to broaden the permitted use, including for family occupation, subject to any necessary planning consent. No representation or warranty is given that such consent will be granted and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the existing planning position and suitability for their intended use through their own legal and planning advisers.

Photography: Photographs and marketing images are intended to provide a general representation of the property and may have been digitally edited or enhanced for presentation purposes. This may include adjustments to lighting, colour and image quality, as well as the addition or removal of temporary or movable items. Such editing is not intended to alter or misrepresent the permanent features, condition or specification of the property. Where images have been virtually staged, they will be identified as Virtually Staged.
