General Comments - Lower Polmenna Barn was originally part of Lower Polmenna Farm and formed part of the Caerhays Estate. The Barn has been in private ownership for a number of years with the current owners having lived there for the last 27 years but most of the land in the immediate area still forms part of the Estate and hence the setting is notably unspoiled. Lower Polmenna Barn is one of just three properties approached along a private lane which is essentially a hardcore track which ensures little or no passing traffic and hence a quiet undisturbed setting seemingly "miles from anywhere". This track also forms part of a public footpath which ultimately leads down to the sea at East or West Portholland and which is within walking distance.

This spacious and attractive Barn has mellow stone elevations and a natural slate roof. The kitchen extension although added at a later date has been carefully blended to harmonize with the original barn. The barn has a conventional layout over two floors with well proportioned rooms, most enjoying views over the garden and countryside beyond. There are lots of windows affording plenty of natural light especially in the morning room and triple aspect sitting room. There are hardwood timber floors in the majority of the rooms with splendid slate flags in the kitchen. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, bathroom and additional shower room on the first floor all enjoying views. The ground floor has an entrance porch, morning room, large sitting room, kitchen/dining room with Aga, large utility/back kitchen, cloakroom, shower room and fourth bedroom. All of the windows are double glazed with slate cills.

Outside are fabulous mature gardens that mostly back onto fields and enjoy far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. They are extremely private and the whole property enjoys peace and quiet. The gardens are well stocked and include many shrubs and plants, apple orchard and vegetable garden. A gravel drive provides lots of parking with additional parking available in the front courtyard having separate access from the lane. There is a small enclosed paddock and stables that is currently home to two donkeys. The garden and grounds extend to approximately one acre.

Location - The property lies within the Parish of Veryan but is in fact just one mile from the tiny village of Caerhays and interestingly has a postal address of Tregony which is about three miles away. Tregony and Veryan combine to provide a range of local services including shops, post office, pubs, primary and secondary schools. The whole area of the Roseland Peninsula is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and much of the coastline is protected by the National trust, coastal walks abound and the property is only one mile (on foot) from the beach at Portholland.

The Cathedral City of Truro with its many amenities and fine shopping centre is about twelve miles away and here there is a main line railway station and The Hall For Cornwall with its varied programme of entertainment.

Directions - Proceeding from Tregony along the A3078 towards St. Mawes take the turning signposted to Veryan on the left hand side at Bessey Beneath after passing the Texaco garage. After a short distance take the first left hand turning to Caerhays and after approximately half a mile you will come to a small settlement known as Tippetts Shop where there is a right hand turning to Veryan. DO NOT take this right turning but proceed just a little further along the road where you will come to a fork and here you take the right hand fork which continues to Caerhays. Continuing for a further half a mile you will be dropping down into the valley bottom where you must watch out for an unmade and unmarked track which goes up on the right hand side which can be easily missed. This is the lane which leads to Lower Polmenna Barn on the right hand side of the lane.
