Constantine, Falmouth - Farmhouse with land

We are told the house was built in 1824 by a family who escaped the French Revolution. In 1884 a cowshed and barn were added and in 1924, a piggery. Shortly afterwards a forge was built at the back of the house and this is now a conservatory.

There is a warm and inviting kitchen with an oil fired ‘Aga’ that leads to a rear porch and then in turn to the conservatory. A spacious 30’ lounge/diner has character features that include exposed beams, exposed granite wall, an inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, and a glazed door opening into the garden. Stairs from the lounge/diner lead up to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and a bathroom.

Set within eleven acres of rolling countryside including three fields, a paddock and woodland, this could provide an amazing opportunity for someone to convert outbuildings, subject to any necessary consents and make full use of the wonderful surroundings. The outbuildings comprise of an attached cow shed (potential to create a self-contained annexe, subject to necessary consents), piggery (divided with stalls) with outside WC, barn, and garage with a room above that could be integrated into the upstairs of the main house, subject to any necessary consents. The property is in need of some renovation.

The property is positioned just outside Constantine. This lovely, self-contained village boasts excellent amenities. Two well stocked shops, one famous for its collection of malt whiskeys. A primary school with attached pre-school, and a pre-school and forest school. Also, a doctors’ surgery, community and arts centre, sports club and church. There are lovely walks close by in Constantine Woods, Port Navas and the Helford River. The nearest beach is a ten minute drive away.
