Description
Windmill Farm is a ring-fenced small holding situated in a quiet yet accessible location on the outskirts of Penponds village in mid-west Cornwall. A former dairy farm, the property offers approximately 16.87 acres of land set around a range of traditional and agricultural barns together with a three bedroom detached bungalow.
The Bungalow
The bungalow is well proportioned and has the potential to create a comfortable family home but is now in need of a scheme of refurbishment and improvement throughout. The accommodation comprises; entrance hall, sitting room with woodburning stove, kitchen/dining room with Rayburn, rear porch/utility and three large double bedrooms together with a bathroom. Surrounding the bungalow are small lawned gardens and there is a large store, though this is now in a state of disrepair.
A concrete screening (mundic) test was carried out in July 2026 and classified the property as A1 and therefore suitable for mortgage lending purposes. The report is available from the agents on request.
Buildings, Barns & Outbuildings
Beyond the bungalow are a range of traditional and agricultural barns and buildings including two large timber agricultural barns, a concrete block built parlour, former piggeries (concrete block), concrete block tractor sheds and a Nissan hut.
It is possible that some of the barns/buildings may have potential for class Q conversion/planning permission and that the parlour could be considered suitable for conversion into ancillary accommodation (subject to planning consent).
Within the central yard is ample parking and turning space.
