Description

A CHARMING CORNISH FARMHOUSE IN A PROTECTED RURAL SETTING, RICH IN CHARACTER AND POTENTIAL, COMPLETE WITH 4.8 ACRES

The Property

Set within the heart of the idyllic Cornish countryside, positioned on a designated County Wildlife Site and within a World Heritage landscape, Carthvean Farm presents a truly exceptional rural retreat of considerable character and charm. This handsome farmhouse is rich in original features and offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout, perfectly balancing comfort with traditional appeal

.

Sustainability is a key feature of Carthvean Farm, with solar panels and a wind turbine contributing to the property’s energy needs, complemented by responsibly sourced wood used to fuel the farmhouse’s wood-burning stoves. The accommodation is both generous and well arranged. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and centred around a traditional Rayburn range, creating a classic country house feel enhanced by quality wooden furnishings. The principal sitting room is spacious yet inviting, featuring comfortable soft furnishings and a superb wood-burning stove, ideal for cooler evenings

.

A formal dining room offers ample space for entertaining and family gatherings, while a charming conservatory provides a tranquil space to relax, read or plan the day ahead whilst enjoying views over the stunning surrounding countryside. To the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is of generous proportion with en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom also provides generous space for a king-size bed. Two further bedrooms comprise a twin room and a single bedroom, offering flexible accommodation for family and guests. The family bathroom is particularly noteworthy impressing with its large size offering ample space for modern fixtures and features a large shower and an impressive original cast iron claw-foot bath

.

The property is set within a wonderfully rural and unspoilt setting, enjoying open countryside surroundings that create a true sense of peace, privacy and seclusion. Extending to approximatley 4.8 acres, the gardens and grounds wrap around the farmhouse and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and established boundaries that provide an excellent degree of natural screening. A particularly attractive feature of the property is the range of substantial block built outbuildings and traditional barns, offering considerable potential for a variety of alternative uses. Subject to the necessary consents, these buildings may lend themselves to conversion for ancillary accommodation, home working, leisure facilities, workshops or further agricultural or equestrian purposes

.

The grounds provide an idyllic environment for outdoor living, enjoying far reaching rural outlooks and a tranquil atmosphere rarely found, making this an exceptional opportunity for those seeking space, privacy, versatility, and the enduring appeal of the Cornish countryside. The property would now benefit from a programme of cosmetic refurbishment and general updating throughout, offering an incoming purchaser an excellent opportunity to enhance and personalise the accommodation to their own taste and requirements. With its inherent character, generous proportions and charming rural setting, the farmhouse provides a superb blank canvas to sympathetically refresh and further realise its full potential.

The Location

The location is ideal for those wishing to explore the outdoors, with superb walking routes directly from the property, including a scenic bridleway leading to a delightful café. A wellregarded local pub nearby offers hearty meals and a true taste of Cornwall. Beyond the immediate surroundings, the dramatic Cornish coastline lies within easy reach for further adventure, with a wealth of beaches, coves and inlets to explore, each offering breathtaking scenery, far-reaching views and golden sands. The world-famous Lizard Peninsula lies to the south, while to the west is St Ives, renowned for its picturesque harbour, beaches and cultural attractions, including the Tate Gallery. Carthvean Farm offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, sustainability and timeless rural charm.
