The Property
This is a wonderful opportunity to create a family home in a popular area close to the north Cornish coast.

The barn - which is of concrete block construction - is set surrounded by an area of hardstanding offering parking and turning space for multiple vehicles, trailers etc and with a timber vehicular gate from the roadway. It is positioned within a level paddock enclosure which could offer a fantastic garden space (subject to change of use) and beyond the barn are two sloping field enclosures ideal for grazing, growing or amenity use.
