Tolcarne Merock
The property comprises a collection of traditional stone buildings, including two barns and additional agricultural and storage sheds. The large general purpose farm building at the top of the farm had Class Q planning permission for conversion into 2 dwellings which has now lapsed.

The Georgian Grade II listed 3-bedroom farmhouse, presents an exceptional opportunity to restore and modernise a well-proportioned
period home arranged across two floors. Set within an historic walled garden and positioned centrally within its own land, the farmhouse
affords a high degree of privacy. An attached storeroom provides potential for further improvement or extension, subject to the necessary
planning consents.

The versatile land comprises productive and gently sloping pasture and arable land, contained in well fenced, good size enclosures, with
access onto parish roads. The land includes some woodland and offers diversification income from aviation lights located in the field closest
to Newquay Airport as well as currently, a telecommunications mast.

Well located and within easy reach of some of Cornwall's best sandy beaches such as Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay, Tolcarne Merock
also benefits from easy access to the A30 as well as the nearby Newquay Airport.

The Property
Tolcarne Merock is a Georgian Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date from the early 19th century, set among an attractive collection of traditional stone barns, livestock and machinery buildings, and versatile farmland. Enjoying a peaceful rural position, the three-bedroom farmhouse borders a quiet country lane.

The main farmhouse presents a classic, symmetrical east-facing façade with elegant 16-pane sash windows. Low stone garden walls extend from either side of the house, framing the formal gardens and leading around to the rear driveway entrance. These walls, together with the farmhouse and original buildings, form part of the property's listed status. While the barns are not individually listed, they fall within the curtilage of the listed structures.

Set in a highly desirable location set back from the North Cornish coast at St Mawgan, Tolcarne Merock presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire an unspoilt farm, within minutes of the beach, with land, the whole extending to about 167 acres (67½ hectares).

The Land

Diversification income is generated from aviation warning lights in the field nearest Newquay Airport, along with an existing telecommunications mast. Further details are available from the selling agents.

Outbuildings
To the rear of the house, the yard provides access to a large, detached barn set into the natural slope, with further modern agricultural buildings positioned to the south. Two additional traditional stone outbuildings, one enclosed and one open-fronted, complement the farmstead and offer excellent potential for a variety of uses.
