General Remarks - Lambourne Farm is a beautifully presented character home set in an idyllic rural location in the heart of Cornwall offering over 2,500 sq ft of well-appointed accommodation. The property can function as a spacious family residence or be divided to include an integral annexe — Anchor Cottage — which has been successfully let for both holiday and long-term stays by previous owners.

The property includes ample parking, and grounds that extend to approximately 0.8 acres, the gardens are superb. Adding to the unique appeal is a granite ruin within the grounds.

Inside, the house is finished to a high standard. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining room, utility room and covered terrace. A generous hallway leads to a sitting room with wood-burning stove and a study — easily converted to a ground floor bedroom if desired. Internal access is easily created between the main house and Anchor Cottage for seamless integration. Upstairs, the first floor offers a spacious principal bedroom, three further double bedrooms, a luxurious family bathroom and another spacious bathroom.

Ideally located between Truro, Falmouth, and Redruth, with convenient access to the A30, Lambourne Farm is a rare and exceptional opportunity in a prime central Cornwall setting.

Vendors Comments - “Lambourne Farm is a lovely home that combines historic character with modern comfort, featuring extensive gardens and grounds. These outdoor spaces were an immediate source of inspiration for us, and we've worked to cultivate and enhance them since moving in.

Given the local area's rich mining heritage, various geological and structural reports have been commissioned over the years. Importantly, all assessments, including the most recent report from 2023, consistently confirm the main dwelling stands on robust foundations. While two previously unrecorded mine workings were identified in the western garden, these features were addressed by redesigning that area into attractive shrubbery and a raised garden bed, enhancing its usability and appearance. All relevant reports are available for review during due diligence, and we're happy to answer any questions to the best of our ability, ensuring you have a complete picture as possible of this wonderful property.”

Location - Lambourne Farm is a treasure in the leafy heart of the Cornish countryside, surrounded by fields and private gardens.

Lambourne Farm borders the historic village of St Day. Its rural location, on a quiet lane leading only to a bridal path, is largely untroubled by passing traffic save horseback riders and dog walkers. From Lambourne Farm's abiding sense of calm, you'd never know the main A30, with its superb travel links to the best of Cornwall, is only a five minute drive. You can be in the fine cathedral hub of Truro within 15-20 minutes and the thriving port of Falmouth within 25 minutes. Both towns offer excellent choices of shops and restaurants.

St Day's central location gives you easy access to the surfing beaches of the north coast (Porthtowan 12mins, Perranporth 15mins) and the calmer waters of the south coast (Swanpool and Maenporth 25mins). The village sits on the beautiful 12-mile cycling/walking route between both coasts, while the numerous branches of the River Fal offer boat moorings, nature reserves and picturesque riverside hamlets, as well as many great restaurants and pubs.

The old mining village of St Day benefits from a primary school, Post Office, two general stores, a butcher, a doctors' surgery, a pharmacy and two pubs. Further amenities are offered by the nearby villages of Chacewater and Carharrack. The well-maintained grounds of the local football and cricket club regularly host local teams, and St Day is renowned for its community spirit; the Parish Council vigorously champions the village environment, yet you need feel no obligation to participate. In short, Lambourne Farm offers you a way of life as serene and fulfilling as you could wish for.
