Please Note

The property's wonderfully secluded location is reached via an unmade track, which forms part of its unique charm and ensures the exceptional peace and privacy on offer. Vehicle access may be more challenging than a conventional residential property, and prospective purchasers should be aware that the approach is not via a made road. Smaller vehicles can access the property with care, while four-wheel drive vehicles are particularly well suited, with an alternative rear access available through the fields. For those seeking complete seclusion and a true escape from the everyday, the approach is a small compromise for such an extraordinary setting.

Kitchen Area

entrance door opens into a welcoming reception hall, where attractive terracotta-style flooring immediately sets the tone for the character and warmth found throughout the home. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the heart of the property – a wonderful farmhouse kitchen enjoying triple-aspect rural views. Fitted with a range of traditional units and work surfaces, a one-and-a-quarter bowl sink and ample space for a large range cooker, this is a room perfectly suited to family life and entertaining alike.

Dining Room / Living Room

A step down leads into the impressive dining room, undoubtedly one of the property's most captivating spaces. Rich in period character, the room features exposed beams, slate flooring and a magnificent inglenook fireplace, creating a warm and atmospheric setting for gatherings throughout the seasons. Stairs rise from here to the first floor, whilst doors lead to both the cosy snug and utility room.

Snug / 2nd Living Room

The snug provides a charming retreat, complete with exposed beams, slate flooring and a deep-silled window overlooking the front gardens, offering the perfect place to unwind beside a book or evening fire.

Utility

The utility room provides practical everyday functionality, with plumbing for appliances, a sink unit and natural light from two windows

First Floor and Bedrooms

Ascending the dog-leg staircase, the first floor reveals a wealth of character with exposed floorboards and delightful countryside outlooks. The principal bedroom enjoys a striking bonnet ceiling and truly breathtaking panoramic views stretching across St Ives Bay and the dramatic Cornish coastline. A second double bedroom benefits from the same unforgettable coastal vistas, exposed floorboards and built-in storage. Another great sized third bedroom offers a window to the side offering fine rural views

Bathroom

A family bathroom serves this level, while a further charming bedroom features a partially pitched ceiling and peaceful side aspect.

Separate Wing

The property's separate wing presents a wealth of possibilities, whether as independent guest accommodation, multi-generational living, a holiday let opportunity (subject to any necessary consents), or simply additional family space.

Accommodation

At its heart is a spectacular gallery lounge, believed to have once formed part of the original barn. Flooded with natural light from four skylights and a glazed entrance door, the vaulted ceiling creates a dramatic sense of space and volume.
This leads into a second characterful lounge featuring a stable door, tiled flooring and a magnificent inglenook fireplace, providing yet another wonderfully atmospheric living space.
An inner hallway leads to a bathroom and a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, making this wing entirely self-contained if desired.

Gardens and Grounds

The magic truly continues outside.
Surrounded by beautifully established gardens that wrap around the property, the grounds offer a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquillity. Expanses of lawn blend seamlessly with wildflower areas, productive vegetable gardens and mature shrubs, creating an ever-changing landscape throughout the seasons.
The property is alive with wildlife, where sightings of deer, barn owls and a rich variety of native species are part of everyday life. Various secluded seating areas provide peaceful places to enjoy the exceptional setting, whether watching the sunset over the countryside or simply soaking in the silence and beauty of the surroundings.
There are also the remains of an old barn, adding further historical interest and potential, together with driveway access from Burthallan Lane and additional rear access through neighbouring fields.
A substantial double garage with power and lighting offers excellent storage and workshop space.
