Description

There are homes that impress, and then there are homes that leave a lasting impression.

The Long Barn is one of those truly exceptional properties.

Originally forming part of a historic farmstead, this remarkable stone barn has been meticulously restored and transformed by the current owners into an outstanding country residence, blending the timeless character of the original building with luxurious modern living. Every element has been thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed, creating a home of exceptional quality that is as practical as it is beautiful.

Approached via a private driveway and surrounded by approximately three acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, The Long Barn immediately conveys a feeling of peace, privacy and permanence. Mature trees, sweeping lawns, colourful borders and carefully designed outdoor spaces frame the property perfectly, creating an idyllic setting that changes with every season.

The accommodation throughout is both generous and incredibly versatile, centred around superb reception spaces that have been designed equally for everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale. Character features including exposed stonework, vaulted ceilings, impressive timbers and handcrafted finishes sit effortlessly alongside bespoke contemporary additions, creating interiors that are warm, elegant and filled with natural light.

At the heart of the home lies a magnificent kitchen and dining space, designed as the social hub of the property, complemented by beautifully proportioned reception rooms that enjoy wonderful views across the gardens. Every room reflects the care, attention and craftsmanship invested by the current owners during the property's complete renovation.
The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, providing luxurious and flexible living for families of all sizes, while the bathrooms have been finished to an exceptional standard, combining timeless style with modern comfort.
One of The Long Barn's greatest strengths is its remarkable flexibility.

Adjoining the principal residence is a beautifully appointed self-contained one-bedroom annexe, offering ideal accommodation for dependent relatives, independent family members, guests or live-in support while maintaining privacy for both households.

Separate from the main house stands an attractive detached one-bedroom stone cottage. Beautifully presented and entirely self-contained, it offers enormous potential for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, holiday letting (subject to any necessary consents), a home office or creative studio.
Outside, the grounds are simply exceptional.
Extending to approximately three acres, they have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces, from expansive lawns and mature woodland planting to secluded seating areas and productive gardens. Whether hosting summer gatherings, enjoying peaceful evenings surrounded by nature or simply appreciating the privacy, the grounds provide an outstanding backdrop to daily life.

The Long Barn enjoys a delightful rural setting whilst remaining conveniently accessible to Launceston and the excellent road links provided by the A30, placing both the North Cornish coastline and Devon within easy reach. The surrounding area offers an abundance of countryside walks, picturesque villages, renowned surfing beaches and excellent schooling, making this an ideal location for both permanent residence and lifestyle living.

Properties of this calibre are exceptionally rare.
Offering a stunning principal residence together with both an annexe and detached cottage, all set within beautifully maintained grounds of approximately three acres, The Long Barn presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the area's finest country homes.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything this remarkable property has to offer.

Surrounded by attractive Cornish countryside, The Long Barn offers an ideal balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.

The nearby town of Launceston, just a short drive away, provides an excellent range of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, healthcare facilities and both primary and secondary schools.

For commuters, the A30 is easily accessible, providing excellent links east towards Exeter and the M5, and west into Cornwall, making the property well placed for those travelling throughout the South West.

The surrounding area offers a wealth of opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with the dramatic landscapes of Bodmin Moor close by and both the North Cornwall and North Devon coastlines within easy reach. Popular destinations including Bude, Boscastle, Tintagel and Padstow are all within comfortable driving distance, offering spectacular beaches, coastal walks and an array of cafés, restaurants and visitor attractions.

Combining a peaceful countryside setting with excellent connectivity and access to some of Cornwall's most beautiful scenery, The Long Barn is ideally situated for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
