Wendron, Helston

The Property
Carthew House is a former farmhouse primarily of traditional granite and stone construction under a slate roof, with latter-day extensions, which has been sympathetically refurbished and altered to offer spacious family accommodation with a plethora of charm and character.

The entrance hall leads through to a spacious open plan kitchen/diner with freestanding units and a feature solid fuel oven, a generous sized utility room with cloakroom off. Two reception rooms, a conservatory, a secondary kitchen and shower room, complete the ground floor. The conservatory requires refurbishment. From the hallway, a turning stairway to a galleried landing offers doors to two bedrooms and a bathroom in the original farmhouse, with a passage way leading through to the extension providing two further bedrooms both with en-suite facilities.

Overall, the accommodation extends to about 2,300 sqft of floorspace which is warmed via oiled fired boilers.

Outside, the property is complemented with enclosed gardens to the front predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with flowerbeds, a further garden area below the photographic studio and productive vegetable gardens above the stone barn.

There are a variety of useful outbuildings with the opportunity for other uses, subject to planning, comprising a photographic studio, a traditional stone constructed single storey stone barn with lean-to potting shed, a further traditional stone barn, part two storey and single storey piggeries, with the former offering kitchen facilities and loft space over, two greenhouses and a garden shed.

The land, with vehicular access from an adopted bridleway, is divided into three manageable enclosures and is laid to pasture and bounded in the main by mature Cornish hedge banks. From the land, extensive views are enjoyed over the surrounding countryside. Within the land lies an opened fronted fields shelter on a concrete base. Overall, the grounds extend to 4.99 acres or thereabouts.

The property is approached from the public highway via a no-through lane serving neighbouring properties via a short access driveway to a level parking area.
