Description - The approach to Menear Barn is over a private shared lane to a 5-bar gate which opens to an extensive area of hard-standing car parking and turning areas adjacent to the house.

Menear Barn stands in an elevated south-facing position with superb views to the south to Carlyon Bay. The house presents character accommodation arranged over two storeys which warrants updating and improvement.

The Traditional Barn - Situated a short distance to the south-east of Menear Barn is a detached mainly stone Barn about 28’3 narrowing to 24’7 x 12’9 with two doors, concrete floor, power and electricity, trap to internal roof space and tall window at the gable end showing the views. NB It is considered that the traditional Stone Barn offers potential for conversion to create an annexe, office or ancillary accommodation to the house and so forth – subject to all necessary consents and approvals.

The Immediate Gardens And Grounds - To the front of Menear Barn around the car parking and turning areas are a number of block and natural stone raised beds, a raised fish pond and area ideal for a greenhouse. To the rear is an attractive lawn garden which runs into a grass bank leading up to Deciduous trees along the northern boundary and within the garden area is a concrete base perhaps suitable for a Garage (subject to any necessary approvals) and a level gravelled seating area with low level surrounding fence. To the west is a further area of lawn with tree standards and along the western side an Evergreen screen.

The Paddock And Further Grounds - Further to the west is a recreational Paddock within which are a number of ornamental trees, a block of mature flowering Rhododendrons, a Rose garden with picket fence border and the frame of a Japanese style arbour, extensive mature Hydrangeas and a gravelled seating area adjacent to a Monkey Puzzle tree with pond (currently dry – lining needs replacing).
