Description

A former farmhouse with planning consent to renovate and extend, situated in an elevated position with far-reaching countryside views towards the Lizard Peninsula and west Cornwall coast, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Property
Boswarthen is a former habited settlement, which we believe dates back to the late 1200's and is made up of a range of outbuildings, cottage and former farmhouse approximately 495 ft above sea level.

Planning permission was obtained in 2019, under Planning Application No. PA19/04568 for the external alterations and extensions to the farmhouse, change of use and conversion of a redundant traditional barn to create a self-contained dwelling and external alterations and extensions to a former farm cottage incorporating the conversion of an attached redundant traditional barn. In 2022 the barn was sold, and the conversion works are nearing completion. The vendor is retaining the cottage.

The planning consent for the external alterations and extensions to the former farmhouse is extant as the original permission has been implemented with the conversion of the barn.

The Farmhouse

A detached double fronted property of traditional stone elevations under a pitch roof, with planning for external alterations and extensions to provide:- Ground floor - entrance hall, cloakroom, utility room, kitchen, dining area and living room. First floor; three bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom.

The property is set on a plot (edged red) extending to 0.41 of an acre or thereabouts and from the plot extensive countryside views are enjoyed over the surrounding area towards to the south Cornish coast, Mount's Bay and St Michael's Mount.
 
Access to the property is via an unmade track with full access rights to be granted by the vendor to the property, shaded blue on the attached plan.
 
Extra Land: The vendor may consider the sale of up to 1.4 acres or thereabouts of adjoining, gently sloping agricultural land, edged green on the attached plan.
 
Agents Note: Within six months of completion, the purchaser will be responsible to erect a boundary fence to the vendors retained land.
