Description
A beautifully converted four-bedroom stone barn offering light-filled, spacious accommodation and with planning permission to extend, set within approximately 1.1 acres of stunning gardens, nestled in a peaceful rural hamlet.
The property is situated in a tranquil hamlet just outside the village of Breage, and only a short distance from the vibrant market town of Helston and the picturesque harbour village of Porthleven. This charming barn conversion retains many original features while having been sympathetically modernised to create a spacious and light-filled family home.
The kitchen/dining room is a bright and generous space, featuring granite work surfaces, a central island, and views over the garden beyond—an ideal setting for cooking and entertaining. The adjacent sitting room is equally spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that flood the space with natural light and provide a welcoming area to relax. A further sun room enhances the living accommodation, with a barn-style door and sliding doors opening onto the patio and garden—creating another peaceful retreat.
The well-proportioned principal bedroom with en suite is conveniently located on the ground floor, along with a family bathroom. Upstairs, there are three additional good-sized bedrooms and a further family bathroom serving this level.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.1 acres and are a key feature of the property. Thoughtfully planted and wonderfully private, there are multiple areas in which to relax and entertain. At the far end of the garden, there is a large carport with an attached storage shed and ample parking for more than five vehicles. The property also benefits from ground source heating, solar PV panels, and an EV charging point—making this a rare opportunity to enjoy the charm of a character home with a reduced carbon footprint.

For all day-to-day needs, close at hand is the historic town of Helston, which is well-served by three supermarkets and has a number of restaurants and bars.
