Valley View Barn - This light, spacious converted barn exudes charm with its much sought after open-plan living area, slate-flagged floors, and beamed vaulted ceilings. Retaining many traditional features, it offers flexible accommodation across two levels.
The entrance hallway, accessed from the driveway through a wide solid oak front door, welcomes you with an Ash stairway that drops down to the main living area. The living room benefits from slate floors and double doors opening to the picturesque rear gardens, while a 'Scan Anderson' wood-burning stove, set on a large granite hearth, serves as the focal point of the lounge. Velux windows in the vaulted ceiling flood the room with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Stable-style double-glazed doors offer additional access to the side and rear of the property.
Passing through the dining area into the kitchen/breakfast room, you'll find a well-appointed space featuring country-style units, hardwood countertops, twin Belfast sinks with a Gessi tap, and a window overlooking the garden. A striking feature is the black and chrome Redlyre range cooker, which also serves as the boiler for the underfloor heating and domestic hot water for both properties. There’s also room for an American-style double-door refrigerator next to another stable-style door leading to the charming rear gardens.
As you proceed down the lower hallway, past the back staircase and an under-stair cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine, you’ll find a convenient downstairs shower room/WC, ideally located for easy access to bedroom 4, which is currently used for guest accommodation.
From the oak-floored entrance hallway, the Ash stairway ascends to a gallery-style study/snug area overlooking the main lounge, supported by an original timber beam from the barn. Solid oak flooring continues throughout the first floor, enhanced by underfloor heating.

Moving through the Jack-and-Jill shower room/WC, which also serves as an ensuite, you enter the main bedroom, a striking space with beamed ceilings, a built-in wardrobe, and double doors leading to a Juliet balcony with views of the garden.

The upper landing connects to the back staircase, the family bathroom, and bedroom 2, which features further beams and a charming window seating area. Bedroom 3 is a cozy single room with a beamed ceiling, built-in wardrobe, and a unique raised cabin bed designed for a 3' single mattress, accessed by a small, sturdy ladder. This bedroom also has inset glass blocks in the wall overlooking the back staircase, creating a distinctive and playful children’s space.

Unity Cottage - Unity Cottage is accessed via its own separate front door along the left side of Valley View Barn, through a gate that opens into a private cottage garden. Upon entering, you’re welcomed into the main living/dining area, which features the same slate flooring and underfloor heating as the main barn. A wood-burning stove with a chrome flue, set on a granite and slate hearth, adds a cozy touch to the living space. The kitchen boasts a beamed vaulted ceiling, oak-fronted units, a Belfast sink, a built-in dishwasher, and plumbing for a washing machine.

Double-glazed patio doors open onto a beautiful deck with breathtaking views over the fields and Poldice Valley. From the deck, a small gate provides access to the rear cottage garden.
