4 bedroom farm house for sale

Enjoying no immediate neighbours and with approaching six acres of land (with the option of a further three acres), this four bedroom double fronted farmhouse was, we believe, built in the 1840’s with further extensions in the 1980’s. There are a range of outbuildings, a chalet which is registered as a separate dwelling and a single storey barn which has lapsed planning to convert into a further single dwelling. The farmhouse itself now would benefit from a program of updating.

Offering a huge amount of potential, anyone seeking a quintessential Cornish cottage to put their own stamp on along with the opportunity to realise further potential with the barns and outbuildings is recommended to view.

We believe the new owner of this home will wish to spend more time outside than in.  The six acres are in five separate enclosures including two and a half acres of croft land which enjoys fabulous far reaching views across countryside to the north coast and sea beyond.  We are told the sunsets are amazing and it is a stunning, rural position to enjoy an evening picnic.

The farmhouse has spacious accommodation on the ground floor with three bedrooms upstairs and a further bedroom on the ground floor.  The cottage has oil fired central heating, is majority double glazed and has a feature fireplace in the lounge for those cold winter evenings!

The chalet has been used by the owner’s daughters when growing up and has a certificate of lawfulness (PA16/09318) for a permanent independent dwelling and could be further developed or changed to suit the new owners requirements.

There is extensive parking to the front with access to a large concrete yard where the outbuildings are contained including a 33’ x 22’ (maximum) storage shed with five further outbuildings – one which is used as an artist’s studio by the seller.  There is a further 35’ detached single storey barn which has lapsed planning (PA20/03933) to convert into a one bedroomed dwelling.

 

Situated between the hamlets of Nine Maidens, Bolenowe and the villages of Troon and Four Lanes in a rural location the cottage is set back from the road with the outbuildings directly behind and the land beyond this.

There are Primary Schools in Troon and Four Lanes with both villages having a good range of local facilities including Public Houses.

The towns of Helston, Redruth and Camborne are all within eight miles and offer a wider range of facilities, secondary schooling and recreational facilities.

The north coast, which can be seen on a clear day from the land, is approximately seven and a half miles away with the sandy beach of Portreath with a further range of beaches all within a similar distance.
