Description - Longcoe Farm has been in the same family occupation for about 100 years and is offered for sale on the open market for the first time.

The property comprises a fabulous grade 2 listed farmhouse believed to date from the 17th century, privately situated within about 13 acres (including domestic curtilage). This is a fabulous family home offering spacious family accommodation with a beautiful south west aspect. The traditional and modern outbuildings provide ample storage and working space for those seeking to run a smallholding or equestrian enterprise, or indeed offer development potential with planning permission in place for conversion of some outbuildings into two residential dwellings.

The land is free draining and found to be in good heart, all pasture with stock proof fencing and historically used by our client for beef and sheep.

The accommodation extends to about 2334 sq ft and briefly comprises - GROUND FLOOR - Reception Hall with staircase off - 20' Drawing Room with wood burner - 18' Dining Room with slate flag floor and oil fired stove - 31' Classic Farmhouse Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room with slate flagstone floor, oil fired AGA range and Walk in Pantry off - Snug/Bed 4 with AGA wood burner - Study - Laundry/Boot Room - Shower Room/WC - FIRST FLOOR - 3 Double Bedrooms - Family Bath/Shower Room.

Outside - A long private drive leads to a yard with ample parking. There are formal gardens on the south west side of the house is lawn with various mature tree, shrub and flower beds. There is paved seating and a long verandah together with a productive kitchen garden, orchard and greenhouse.

An extensive range of outbuildings of about 7300 sq ft present opportunities for those seeking to pursue smallholding or equestrian interests. The outbuildings are demonstrated by reference to the floorplan. The courtyard of traditional barns benefit from planning permission for conversion to provide a 5 Bedroom Residential Dwelling of about 2787 sq ft. In addition a modern Atcost building has Class Q permission for conversion to a 2 Bedroom Residential Dwelling of about 1054 sq ft.

Planning Permission - The property benefits from two live planning permissions. Firstly the courtyard of traditional barns benefit from permission to convert into a residential dwelling. The original application was for "Conversion of barns into dwelling with access, car park and septic tank" under application number - PA16/02377, work commenced in the form of "access drive work" and our client has had this recognised by the planning authority with a Certificate of Lawfulness for Proposed Use or Development granted in January 2021 under application number - PA20/10408 - the permission is therefore considered to be extant and presents opportunities for the creation of a further dwelling. Secondly the modern Atcost outbuilding has received Class Q Permitted Development on the 12th May 2025 under application number - PA25/02095 for a further residence, further drawings have been commissioned to replace this with a new build.

Copies of the plans and planning permissions are available by visiting the Cornwall Council Online Planning Portal and quoting the above application numbers or by email from Scott Parry Associates upon request.
