Description - A former Cornish barn and round house understood to date from the 16th century, thoughtfully converted and extended to residential use in 2015 using block and stone beneath a slate roof. The interiors cherish a wealth of period features including exposed timber beams, thick stone walls, and gracefully vaulted spaces that speak to the building’s agricultural origins. More modern conveniences, such as wooden double-glazed windows, underfloor heating, and a privately owned 10kW private solar array ensure comfort and efficiency while preserving the integrity of this barn.

Accommodation - The accommodation is presented in excellent decorative order throughout, having been a much-loved home of the current owners for a number of years. The kitchen forms the heart of the property, offering a welcoming rustic atmosphere with exposed wooden beams and a traditional Aga converted to electric with an induction hob. There is a staircase leading to a versatile mezzanine area, ideal as a home office, hobby space, or additional seating area.

The well-planned layout allows for convenient single-storey living, with three generous double bedrooms and two tastefully appointed family bathrooms situated on the ground floor. Each room benefits from a bright and comfortable feel, combining period charm with modern comfort. The distinctive round house adds a unique architectural feature, with a first floor sitting room complete with a wood-burning stove and Velux windows.

Outside - The property is approached via a private no-through track, offering a wonderful sense of seclusion and privacy. A gated driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a timber-framed car port, complete with power, lighting, and a tiled roof fitted with solar panels. Additional panels are discreetly positioned on the southerly aspect of the barn, maximising energy efficiency. Beyond the main house lies a charming ‘hidden’ vegetable garden, accessed through a gated entrance, together with formal lawns that flow directly from the property and provide an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. A pathway leads to a timber stable block with tack room, set on a concrete base, which has previously served the owners’ equestrian needs and more recently provided useful storage. The surrounding land forms a truly idyllic setting throughout the seasons, thoughtfully planted with a mixed broadleaf woodland. At its heart, a picturesque summer house overlooks a pond, creating a perfect retreat. The land extends to approximately 6.73 acres in all providing versatile use, including grazing for horses or a wonderful space for families to enjoy private woodland walks through their very own piece of the Cornish countryside.
