Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Five residential dwellings
  • Two acres of gardens and grounds
  • Private, quiet setting
  • Business and lifestyle opportunity
Four bedroom Grade II Listed farmhouse together with four barn conversions currently utilised as a successful holiday letting business. Set in two acres of gardens and grounds. Offering a wonderful business and lifestyle opportunity.

Situation
Frythens Farm is positioned at the end of a long lane affording tremendous privacy and peace. The property is surrounded by land owned by the St Aubyn Estate and there are unspoilt views across the rolling countryside from the farmhouse and gardens in particular. Being situated part way between St Erth and St Hilary - both of which have primary schools, and with secondary schooling at Penzance and at Hayle - the property enjoys easy access to the north and south Cornish coasts with its fabulous sandy beaches and the stunning South West Coast Path as well as a range of every day facilities and amenities in the nearby towns of St Ives and Penzance. From Penzance is a regular railway link to London (Paddington).

The Property
Frythens Farm is a most appealing small holding with a total of five dwellings set in a little over two acres of grounds. All of the accommodation is light and beautifully presented, with the farmhouse having been completely restored approximately 7 years ago and the barns converted shortly after. The farmhouse, the adjacent piggery and the three bedroom barn known as The Bank Barn are Grade II Listed whilst the three other barn conversions are not Listed, though they are presented in the same style and are very much in keeping.

The Farmhouse
The farmhouse is a very comfortable family home which enjoys the best of the views. The accommodation comprises a triple aspect open plan kitchen/dining/living room, utility, bedroom 4 with an en-suite shower room to the ground floor with three double bedrooms (the master with an en-suite bathroom) and a shower room to the first floor. The utility and en-suite bedroom on the ground floor is well suited to creating annexe accommodation if required (subject to consent), as this benefits from a private rear entrance.

There are lovely, level gardens to the front enjoying the views and beyond is a long, gently sloping lawn recently planted with trees at one end. Whilst currently offering a wonderful garden space, this area extends to approximately two acres and could be used as a pony paddock or planted with raised beds to offer a fabulous vegetable garden, to name just a few alternatives.
