Description

Situated within the delightful rural hamlet of Releath, amidst the rolling Cornish countryside, Barn House is a detached property of immense charm and character, set within approximately 3.6 acres of attractive gardens and grounds. Offering a wonderful combination of rural tranquility, character features and extensive outdoor space, this appealing home enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

The well-proportioned accommodation provides four bedrooms and benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazing. Character features are evident throughout, including exposed beamed ceilings and an impressive feature fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove. The property has been sympathetically enhanced by the current owners whilst retaining its original charm and character.

A particular highlight of Barn House is the exceptional outdoor space. The grounds include attractive landscaped gardens and a substantial, relatively level meadow, offering a wealth of possibilities for recreation, gardening, smallholding interests or simply enjoying the freedom and privacy afforded by such a generous plot which also provides a natural habitat for an extensive range of wild birds and animal life. There are several seating areas positioned throughout the grounds, providing ideal spots for alfresco dining and relaxation, whilst established plants and mature shrubs create year-round interest for keen gardeners.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance area leading into a spacious open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room, creating a sociable heart to the home. The ground floor also features a wet room, and a bedroom, offering flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. On the first floor are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, there is a detached garage/workshop which, whilst requiring modernisation, benefits from power and offers potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation, a home office or studio, subject to any necessary planning permissions and consents.

The rural hamlet of Releath is situated approximately four and a half miles from the historic Cornish market town of Helston. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the location offers a peaceful rural lifestyle whilst remaining conveniently accessible to a wide range of amenities.

Helston is a thriving market town and serves as the gateway to the stunning Lizard Peninsula, an area renowned for its breathtaking coastline and designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peninsula boasts an abundance of beautiful beaches, secluded coves and spectacular cliff-top walks, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Selling and letting homes across West Cornwall in a very personal and modern way. Please let us put your home 'On the MAP'

The MAP team are all very experienced and well established property professionals who have helped thousands of buyers and sellers over the years across West Cornwall. Between us we have over 125 years of selling and letting homes in the region.

Since opening in 2017 the business has grown considerably mainly through recommendation. We are delighted to publish the numerous testimonials we have received online and to challenge the poor perceptions the public have about estate agents. Estate agents are not all the same!

MAP uses the latest technology including 360 degree cameras but is primarily about customer service something that is often very much lacking when selling or buying a home.

We would love to help and discuss any potential home move with clients so don't hesitate to get in touch. We offer a free, no obligation valuation service and are equally as happy speaking to you with any home moving questions you may have.

We look forward to hearing from you if we can assist in anyway.
