Six and a half acres of an equestrians dream, with an annex, outbuildings and countryside views.
Nestled in the idyllic countryside, this property is a haven for equestrians and those yearning for a taste of the quintessential “good life.” Boasting a perfect blend of rugged landscapes and breathtaking views, it offers the best of both worlds while maintaining easy access to local amenities.
A reluctant sale, this property exudes exclusivity, tucked away at the end of a private hedge-lined driveway. As you arrive, a spacious parking area for multiple vehicles greets you, complete with a substantial 35ft carport. Multiple versatile outbuildings add to its charm, catering to a range of potential uses.
The centerpiece of this estate is the large, historic detached cottage, believed to have stood since the mid-1800s. With its southeast-facing front, it embodies the essence of a traditional Cornish home. The meticulously manicured garden, reminiscent of its former glory, can be revived by the green-thumbed enthusiast.
Inside the cottage, you’ll find a cozy, cottage-style ambiance. Large double-glazed windows and a southerly aspect flood the home with natural light, appealing to aficionados of Cornwall’s renowned architectural design. Spanning two floors, the ground floor houses a spacious living room and a second reception room with an impressive inglenook fireplace and exposed granite pillars. The open-plan design to the entrance hall strikes a perfect balance between warmth and natural light. The rear of the property features a farmhouse-style galley kitchen, which opens into a generous dining area with French doors leading to the rear paddock. It’s complemented by a separate utility room and side entrance. Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a master bedroom with a spacious shower en-suite offer charming views of your personal paradise from every window.
A standout feature of this property is the converted piggery, sure to capture the hearts of those seeking passive income or multi-generational living. This one-bedroom annex, with its whitewashed stone exterior, rivals the main home in its appeal. Nestled next to the paddocks that once housed the family’s shire horses, this space is a gem for short-term rentals, providing holidaymakers with stunning views of Cornwall, privacy, and a central location to major towns and coastlines.
The property boasts an assortment of outbuildings, with the most impressive being the stable block with room for three horses, a testament to its history as the shire horses’ home. Adjacent to the stable block, you’ll find additional stone-built storage buildings, including the original piggery, ripe for conversion with the necessary permissions.
The expansive 6.4-acre grounds are divided into three main paddocks, one located to the rear of the main residence, another adjacent to the stable block, and a third to the southwest of the private drive, all bordered by picturesque hedge lines.
This cherished family home is a rare find, cherished by its current owners. Those who visit will not only appreciate the size of the property but also the enchanting backdrop, peaceful and charming bridleways, and the convenience of nearby towns and beaches.
