A truly outstanding five-double-bedroom detached Cornish farmhouse, beautifully renovated and remodelled throughout to an exacting standard, set within approximately 5.7 acres of impeccably maintained grounds and offering an extraordinary combination of privacy, character and versatility.

Approached along a tree-lined byway and through private gates, the property creates an immediate sense of arrival and seclusion, with extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles. Surrounded by mature trees and open Cornish countryside, this captivating home feels like a private rural retreat, yet remains exceptionally well connected to the city, coast and major transport routes.

Truro lies approximately five miles away. The property is also perfectly positioned between both coastlines, with the sheltered waters and beautiful beaches around Falmouth approximately 11 miles away and the dramatic north coast destinations of Porthtowan, St Agnes, Portreath and Perranporth all within easy reach.

From the moment you step inside, the quality and attention to detail are immediately apparent. The farmhouse has been transformed with exceptional care, retaining the warmth and authenticity of its country origins while introducing the comfort, practicality and refined finish expected of contemporary living. Exposed beams, wide timber floors, traditional wooden doors, deep-set windows and feature fireplaces blend effortlessly with stylish bathrooms, carefully considered finishes and beautifully light-filled rooms.

At the heart of the home is the outstanding open-plan kitchen and dining room—a memorable space that perfectly captures the essence of relaxed country living. Bespoke country-style cabinetry, substantial timber worktops, a Belfast sink, range cooker, exposed beams and beautiful wooden flooring combine to create a kitchen worthy of the pages of Country Living. Dual-aspect windows frame views across the gardens, while the generous dining area provides the ideal setting for family meals, entertaining and long evenings with friends.

Three individual reception rooms offer superb flexibility. The principal living room is spacious yet inviting, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and complemented by charming built-in storage. From here, doors open directly onto the south-facing sun terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living space bathed in sunshine throughout the day—perfect for morning coffee, summer dining or evening drinks with friends while overlooking the gardens.

A separate snug provides a relaxed second sitting room, family room or cosy retreat, while the striking garden room is flooded with natural light through triple-aspect glazing and rooflights. With views across the grounds and direct access outside, it offers another peaceful space from which to enjoy the changing seasons.

The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms, offering excellent accommodation for a growing family, visiting guests or those requiring dedicated home-working space. These are complemented by beautifully presented bathroom and shower facilities, including a characterful family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and a stylish contemporary en-suite shower room.

The ground floor is equally well considered for the practicalities of family and country life, with a cloakroom/WC, separate shower room, dedicated laundry room and a versatile boot room, utility room or office with its own external access—ideal after muddy walks, gardening or equestrian pursuits.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the farmhouse. Extending to approximately 5.7 acres, they include sweeping manicured lawns, mature trees, established planting and private recreational areas, all combining to create an exceptional sense of peace and seclusion. The broad south-facing terrace beside the house forms a natural extension of the living accommodation and provides an idyllic setting for alfresco dining, entertaining and relaxing in the sunshine.

Beyond the formal gardens are level paddocks, an orchard, meadows and a dedicated polytunnel area, creating an ideal setting for horses, smallholding pursuits and a self-sufficient country lifestyle. An extensive collection of outbuildings includes barns, stables, a hay barn, tractor and implement shed, workshops, storage buildings and sheds, together with a particularly useful workshop featuring an inspection pit. The facilities offer outstanding versatility for the horse owner, hobby farmer, motoring enthusiast, collector or home-based business, as well as potential for future ancillary or income-producing uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building consents.

This is far more than a beautifully renovated farmhouse—it is a complete country lifestyle. Private, peaceful and seemingly far removed from everyday life, yet within easy reach of Truro, the A30 and both Cornish coastlines, this substantial and highly adaptable home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, seclusion and exceptional surroundings without sacrificing accessibility. A magical property that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
