Fenton Pitts, Bodmin, PL30

A Cornish Country Retreat

Nestled amidst the rolling countryside near the historic Lanhydrock Estate and just a short drive from Cornwall’s breathtaking coastline, Lesquite Farm presents a lifestyle defined by elegance, heritage, and boundless potential. This extraordinary property effortlessly blends refined family living with income opportunities, all within a setting of unparalleled peace, privacy, and natural beauty.

Description

The main residence is a beautifully maintained five-bedroom detached home, brimming with character and charm. The interior flows seamlessly, with the open-plan kitchen and dining area forming the heart of the home — a warm, inviting space perfectly suited to family life and entertaining. A standout feature is the original dairy larder, preserved from the property’s history as a working farm and now transformed into a remarkable walk-in pantry that combines heritage with modern practicality. The living room, complete with a log burner and traditional fireplace, offers a welcoming retreat where history meets homely comfort. Leading naturally from both the kitchen and reception areas, a light-filled sunroom with underfloor heating opens onto the gardens, creating a year-round sanctuary for relaxation or entertaining.

Bedrooms

Upstairs, four elegantly appointed bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and an additional shower room, providing versatile accommodation for family and guests. On the ground floor, a fifth bedroom with en-suite facilities has been beautifully reimagined as a flexible living space. With independent access, it offers the ideal solution for a stylish guest suite, private multi-generational quarters, or a sophisticated home office.

Gardens and Grounds

The property’s south-facing gardens extend the sense of tranquility, featuring a reflective pond, mature plantings, and sweeping rural vistas culminating in the distinctive granite rise of Helman Tor — a celebrated local landmark. Across the lane, a charming orchard with mature fruit trees and a characterful outbuilding adds further charm and utility. Practical exterior features include a dedicated boiler room with wood store, supporting the log burner and underfloor heating.

Shepherds Hut

Beyond the main house, the grounds reveal a rare gem: a meticulously crafted Shepherd’s Hut, thoughtfully positioned for privacy and panoramic views. Complete with a secluded garden, expansive deck, and a striking copper bath overlooking the surrounding farmland, it offers an enchanting retreat beneath open skies. Currently operating as a successful glamping let, it combines a unique guest experience with a proven income stream.

Outbuildings

Lesquite Farm also offers substantial practical amenities. A detached garage provides ample parking and storage, while a handsome stone outbuilding adjacent to the main house currently accommodates a workshop, utility, studio, and storage. With planning consent, this space could be transformed into an additional annexe, presenting exciting opportunities for expansion or supplementary income.

Location

Located in the tranquil hamlet of Fenton Pitts, Lesquite Farm offers seclusion without isolation. The celebrated grounds of Lanhydrock and its parkland are moments away, while nearby Bodmin provides schools, shops, and mainline rail connections. Swift access to the A30 and A38 ensures effortless travel across Cornwall, with the coast, rivers, and countryside all within easy reach. Lesquite Farm is more than a property; it is an invitation to a lifestyle steeped in heritage, embraced by nature, and rich with opportunity.
