Description

Mowhay Barn is an exceptional detached barn conversion occupying a wonderfully private setting amidst approximately four acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, surrounded by rolling Cornish countryside yet just a short drive from the historic harbour town of Padstow and the spectacular beaches of the North Cornwall coastline.

Beautifully converted and thoughtfully extended to an exacting standard, Mowhay Barn effortlessly blends authentic period character with refined contemporary design. Exposed natural stone walls, soaring vaulted ceilings and magnificent timber beams combine with high-quality finishes and elegant interiors to create a home of remarkable warmth, style and sophistication.

Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, the accommodation extends to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying a unique connection with the surrounding landscape. The principal sitting room is centred around a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons, while a second snug provides an equally comfortable retreat. Adjoining this space, a stunning glazed garden room provides the perfect setting for relaxed dining, morning coffee or evening drinks while enjoying uninterrupted views across the gardens.

At the heart of the home lies a superb contemporary farmhouse kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and larger gatherings. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious utility and boot room, thoughtfully designed to cater for the demands of country and coastal living.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, comprising four beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each enjoying a peaceful outlook across the surrounding countryside. The luxurious principal suite provides a true sanctuary, complete with a Juliet balcony overlooking the grounds and an indulgent en-suite featuring a freestanding bath, creating the perfect place to unwind after a day spent exploring the nearby coastline. A stylish ground floor shower room, finished with natural slate, offers excellent practicality for guests and day-to-day living, while the elegant first floor family bathroom features a classic roll-top bath, perfectly complementing the character of the barn.

Outside, Mowhay Barn is every bit as impressive. The beautifully maintained grounds extend to approximately four acres, offering an exceptional balance of formal gardens and natural landscape. Sweeping lawns provide extensive space for recreation and family enjoyment, whilst mature trees, colourful planting and wildflower meadows create a tranquil setting that evolves beautifully throughout the seasons.

A generous terrace provides the perfect space for al fresco dining and summer entertaining, while an indulgent hot tub offers the ideal place to relax beneath the stars after a day exploring the North Cornwall coastline. Tucked away within the grounds, a charming summerhouse enjoys breathtaking far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the Atlantic Ocean, providing a wonderfully peaceful retreat in which to unwind and appreciate the remarkable setting. Practical features have been equally well considered, including a detached garage and barn providing excellent storage or workshop potential, together with an electric vehicle charging point, ensuring the property is well equipped for modern living.

Services to the property include mains water and electricity, private drainage and an oil fired underfloor heating system. EPC rating D. Council tax band deleted. Ofcom indicate ultrafast broadband connectivity. Ofcom indicate 5G mobile coverage.
