A traditional small farmstead located in the rural hamlet of Carwen on Bodmin Moor, comprising a detached southwest facing three bedroom farmhouse for renovation, dilapidated traditional stone outbuildings and about 11.4 (4.6ha) acres of land.

The Property
In a quiet unspoilt rural location designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), away from passing traffic, this unique property offers the opportunity to create a fantastic country home and use the land for ponies, horticulture, conservation or some other amenity use. This characterful farmhouse now requires renovation, and externally benefits from brick window reveals and lintels, rag slate roof with decorative ridge tiles and pair of brick chimney stacks.

From the entrance hall, doors lead to both ground floor reception rooms that are full of character features including beamed ceilings, handsome slate fireplaces, wood panelling and many slate flag floors. A modern extension to the rear provides fitted kitchen, family bathroom and rear porch. From the entrance hall, a traditional staircase rises to three first floor bedrooms, each having lovely views to the front.

Outside

Although overgrown, the enclosed front garden offers the opportunity to restore the former glory and create sheltered sitting out areas.

The Land

Surrounding the property on three sides and extending to about 11.4 acres (4.6ha), the relatively level and gently sloping land is currently laid to grass and divided into five enclosures by mature Cornish hedges complemented by an array of trees including beech, crab apple, sycamore and oak trees. From the Council lane a track leads up to the parking area adjacent to the house where a level 0.67 acre field is designated Common Right of Way (CRoW) access on foot only (shaded orange on the site plan). Lying about 50m southwest of the house are some dilapidated and overgrown stone outbuildings (one of which measures 26' x 12' internally) with separate road access that may have development potential subject to consents.

Additional land - An additional 7 acres with pond and pole barn adjoining the farm are available to purchase by separate negotiation.
