Description

Enjoying a discrete rural setting near the end of a private country lane, is this deceptively spacious four bedroom former farmhouse with land and gardens of circa 2.74 acres.

Carnkie Farm has been much improved during the current owners tenure to provide spacious and versatile living accommodation that is likely to find favour with a wide range of prospective purchasers.

Currently, informally arranged as two separate areas of accommodation the residence may appeal, in its current configuration to those seeking to house a dependent relative or those wishing to generate an additional income (subject to any necessary permissions or consents).

For those seeking a slice of the 'good life' there are circa 2.74 acres of pasture land which are likely to appeal to those with equestrian interests, those looking for a suitable smallholding or a combination of both. Should prospective purchasers require more land or equestrian facilities then a further parcel of land is available by separate negotiation (see Agents Note below).

Enjoying striking views over open fields, woodland and countryside beyond, the property provides well proportioned family accommodation and benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating.

Particular highlights internally include a stunning oak framed conservatory to the rear with exposed timber beams, a vaulted ceiling, a log burning stove and an impressive rural outlook, a nicely appointed modern kitchen and a stylish fitted shower room.

In brief the accommodation comprises a front kitchen, lounge, conservatory, rear kitchen/dining room, cloakroom, two shower rooms, four bedrooms and a utility room. Outside there is parking for a number of vehicles whilst there are areas of garden to the front, rear and side of the residence together with parcels of land of circa three acres in total.

Carnkie is a rural hamlet conveniently situated for both the towns of Helston and Falmouth with all the amenities they have to offer. Within the hamlet there is a village hall and Wendron Sports Club which provides sports facilities, and a clubhouse with a bar. In the nearby hamlet of Porkellis there is the well regarded Star Inn public house whilst a short distance away is the primary school of Halwin. Secondary education can be found in both Helston and Falmouth with the latter also having a university campus. Stithians Reservoir is situated a short drive away and offers a range of watersports activities and lakeside walks to visitors together with the Golden Lion public house & restaurant. A mainline railway station can be found approximately seven miles away in Redruth with the A30 arterial road into Cornwall being a similar distance away.

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

Christophers Estate Agents is an independent estate agency that was started with a view of providing "pure traditional estate agency".

The company was established in 2002 and has an experienced team who for many years have dealt with property in this district.

We are indeed privileged to work in an area of such natural beauty. Helston is the gateway and commercial centre for the Lizard Peninsula and provides a range of national stores, Comprehensive School, College, Sports Centre with indoor swimming pool and a Cinema. The town is linked to the coast by the beautiful Penrose Estate which is also home to Cornwall's largest natural fresh water lake at Loe Pool.

To the west our area skirts around Mount's Bay and it encompasses a number of highly regarded villages and attractive areas of open countryside.

Flora Day is the most important day in the Helston calendar. It takes place at the beginning of May each year and although it's origins are lost in the mists of time it is believed to have been performed by the townsfolk for hundreds if not thousands of years. During the day four Furry dances take place the first one starting at 7.00 a.m. in the morning! Thousands of people throng the streets of this Ancient Market town to welcome in the Spring. The principal dance takes place at 12 noon with the gentleman in morning suits and top hats and the ladies wearing long colourful dresses with splendid hats.
