Description
A characterful country home with space to breathe and room to grow, all set in approximately one acre of land.
Tucked between the iconic peaks of Tregonning and Godolphin Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Great Work Farm offers a rare chance to own a substantial period home set within approximately one acre of established gardens and light woodland.
Full of charm and original features, this detached former farmhouse presents a blend of rustic character and exciting potential. Exposed beams, a classic Aga, and wood burning stoves set in the original fireplace speak to its heritage, while the flexible layout offers four bedrooms, four reception rooms and generous dual aspect living room.
Outside, the grounds are perfect for nature lovers or families seeking outdoor freedom, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and two outbuildings offering scope for workshops, studios or future development (subject to planning). There is a parking area for four vehicles which is accessed via the drive.
While the property would benefit from updating throughout, its setting, space, and character make it a compelling opportunity to create a truly special home in a peaceful rural location just a short drive from the coast.
Location - Nestled in a truly special part of West Cornwall, Great Work Farm sits between the striking natural landmarks of Tregonning Hill and Godolphin Hill, a haven for walkers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking the beauty of the Cornish countryside on their doorstep. Just moments from the friendly village of Godolphin Cross, the location offers a peaceful rural setting without feeling remote. The sandy shores of Praa Sands and the vibrant harbour town of Porthleven are both within easy reach, perfect for coastal days out. For everyday amenities and further exploration, the bustling towns of Helston, Penzance, and Hayle are all comfortably close by, offering a great balance of rural tranquillity and convenient access to Cornwall’s south coast highlights.

Outside - Approached from Granny Polly Lane, flanked by mature trees and a peaceful woodland area, the grounds at Great Work Farm are every bit as enchanting as the home itself. The expansive gardens, approaching an acre in size are largely laid to lawn and beautifully bordered by traditional Cornish stone walls and natural hedging, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.
A mix of mature and fruit bearing trees dot the landscape, creating a haven for wildlife and a magical setting for family life. Tucked away in a sheltered corner, a dedicated entertaining area with a pizza oven and BBQ makes the most of the tranquil surroundings - perfect for summer evenings.
Two separate outbuildings provide excellent additional space: a charming brick outbuilding with pitched slate roof, skylight, and mezzanine storage with power and water, and a larger stone barn with power and triple front facing windows, ideal for use as a workshop, studio, or further development (subject to consents). A large shed/woodstore adds further practicality to this idyllic country setting.

Outbuilding - Located at the bottom of the garden it could be transformed into a lovely garden room.
Services - Mains electricity, water and septic tank. Owned Solar panels.
