THE PROPERTY

Caralsa Barn is a substantial stone-built barn conversion, converted in 1990, with spacious and versatile accommodation, set with a superb, private plot with fantastic views from every window.

The property retains a wealth of attractive features throughout, including exposed beams and roof timbers, natural stonework, slate flooring, large stone fireplace with log burner and traditional timber doors.

Without doubt, one of the standout rooms is the magnificent 27'7" x 16'0" living room. An impressive, vaulted ceiling with exposed roof trusses creates a wonderful sense of height and space, while the substantial floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace forms a striking focal point and incorporates a wood-burning stove.

The generous proportions provide plenty of room for several seating areas, with additional space currently accommodating a games area. Windows and glazed doors provide plenty of natural light and connect the room directly with the gardens outside.

Equally impressive is the 21'7" x 15'11" kitchen/dining room, a superb sociable space and natural heart of the home. The kitchen was refitted in 2018, is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary yet in-keeping shaker style units, quartz work surfaces and a large range-style cooker, inset sink with mixer tap over, integrated dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. Exposed ceiling timbers and dark slate flooring provide an attractive contrast to the modern cabinetry.

There is ample room for a substantial dining table and chairs, while glazed double doors open onto the gardens and terrace, making this an excellent room for entertaining and everyday family life.

The ground floor accommodation is further enhanced by a garden room, providing another useful reception space overlooking the gardens, together with a particularly useful 10'11" x 8'9" utility room and a shower room/W.C.

FIRST FLOOR

Stairs rise to the first floor to the landing, with storage cupboard, beautiful full-length window taking in the views over the beautiful rear garden and fields beyond.

You have a further two double bedroom and to complete this floor you have a further shower room that serves the two bedrooms.

GARDENS & GROUNDS

The gardens are a particularly appealing feature of Caralsa Barn and provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, you feel once you drive in you are in your own little oasis.

The property sits amongst mature, established gardens, with extensive areas of lawn complemented by an abundance of trees, shrubs, and colourful planting. Paved terraces immediately adjoining the house provide attractive areas for outside dining and entertaining, while pathways lead through the various areas of garden.

There is also a greenhouse, vegetable garden with raised beds and a garden pavilion/summerhouse, adding considerably to the property's lifestyle appeal.

The mature trees and planting provide a high degree of natural screening, while beyond the gardens the property enjoys a wonderful rural backdrop of open fields and rolling Cornish countryside.

GARAGE, WORKSHOP & PARKING
