Golberdon Road, Pensilva, Liskeard, Cornwall

Welcome to Glen Silva Farm, an exceptional lifestyle and investment property nestled in the heart of the picturesque Lynher Valley, on the rural outskirts of the village of Pensilva. This stunning estate offers not only a secluded slice of rural paradise but also a highly successful, turnkey holiday letting business.

The house and cottage were built in 2004 & 2006 respectively and both face south offering plenty of natural light and have been designed to make the most of the incredible views.

Ring fenced by 23 acres of private land the estate sits privately well away from the road and our of sight of the neighbouring properties, the owners of which have become good friends. Sivel Wood, the land to the front of the property offers 13 acres of woodland bordered to the south by a pretty stream with a small waterfall. The owners have created two circular walks through the grounds which lead past the workings of an 1857 silver mine. To the north and east of the houses are 8 acres of fenced pasture which our clients have used to graze sheep.

Our clients have created a stunning elevated, covered viewing platform which benefits from a wood burner offering a superb al-fresco dining area with incredible views.

The main home consists of three main living areas. A very well presented eat-in kitchen with a range of floor and wall mounted shaker style cabinets wrapping around a central island. There is a built in oven, microwave, dishwasher and ceramic hob in addition to the two-oven Aga. Double french doors lead out to the front.

A good sized dining room offers plenty of space for entertaining and has a glazed bay with french doors providing plenty of natural light.

The adjacent sitting room has a wood burner on a slate hearth with a granite lintel. Adjoining this room is an office or fourth bedroom with dual aspect windows. Each of the principal reception rooms are similar in size, an architectural element that is repeated upstairs with three double bedrooms all of which have similar dimensions. The master bedroom on the west side has a walk in wardrobe and en-suite and accesses a private balcony - as does the bedroom at the opposite end of the house.

There is a family bathroom upstairs and a cloakroom downstairs off the large utility room which is adjacent to the kitchen.

The estate boasts three beautifully appointed, highly lucrative holiday lets with a proven track record of five-star reviews. Each property has been thoughtfully positioned to ensure total privacy for guests, complete with their own secluded outdoor spaces including hot tubs.

Christmas Cottage: A stunning, reverse-level house built in 2006 that comfortably sleeps four. The ground floor features two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs, a stylish, triple-aspect open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is flooded with natural light. Two Juliet balconies offer elevated, sweeping views across the valley.
