It also has regular bus links to Truro and Falmouth.

rounds in the area. Other specialist retail outlets such as Cusgarne Organic Farm Shop and Burncoose Nurseries are close by.

The property is located on the Bissoe Trail, a multi-use trail that stretches across the county from Portreath on the north coast to Devoran on the south, with links to a myriad of additional paths and lanes, including the Mineral Tramway, providing miles of off-road and traffic free horse
riding, cycling, walking and running.

The property is positioned equidistant, approximately 5-7 miles, between the conurbations of the city of Truro, Falmouth/Penryn and Redruth/Camborne. Each area has their own sense of identity and together provide a wide array of education, administrative, employment, retail and industrial opportunities along with cultural, leisure and sporting facilities.

Truro provides a wide range of private and state schooling for all ages and is home to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske.

Positioned in central Cornwall a few miles from the recently upgraded A30, Wheal Fortune Farm has the ability to access all that Cornwall has to offer, from the quiet and secluded creeks and rivers of the Falmouth and Helford estuaries, ideal
for sailing, paddleboarding and boating activities, to the wild and open coasts of the Lizard peninsula and north coast with surfing and coastal walking opportunities.

AMENITIES
Mainline train services run from the nearby village of Perranwell Station to Falmouth and Truro. From Truro direct trains run west to Penzance and east to Plymouth, Exeter and London, including a sleeper train.

National and international flights run from Newquay International Airport, approximately 30 minutes drive from the property.

FARMHOUSE
The spacious, light-filled home was originally a traditional barn and has been thoughtfully and extensively extended to create a substantial five-bedroom residence that blends rustic charm with modern living. The property retains characterful features such as granite finishes and a woodburning stove, while offering generous, open-plan living spaces with high ceilings totalling circa 2,500 sq ft. Views from the property via the large french doors, as well from the balcony in the principle bedroom suite overlook the gardens and land within the property.

With some bedrooms located on the ground floor, two of the five bedrooms benefitting from en-suite facilities, as well as clear potential to develop the garage, workshop and outbuildings, as well as further extending the house, the layout
offers excellent flexibility and the potential for multi-generational living.

The farmhouse sits naturally within an established, tiered gardens that encircle and protect the house, containing a significant number of mature trees and flowering bushes, having been designed and created by the owners over their 25 years of ownership to create a wonderful cottage garden. Pathways meander through the garden via steps and terraces to numerous secluded lawned areas and a productive vegetable garden, and seamlessly into the wider farmland beyond.

The result is a beautifully balanced home that combines the warmth of its heritage with the comfort and space of contemporary design, all set in a peaceful and private rural location.

BUILDINGS
The property features a range of versatile outbuildings, including a traditional detached stone barn divided into a stable, tool store, and log store, all with light and power. A modern timber farm building offers flexible use, ideal for stabling or general storage, with an adjacent poultry run and paddock access. The enclosed concrete yard provides secure hardstanding and a
second gated entrance.

The main entrance consists of a brick driveway that leads to a substantial workshop/double garage with inspection pit, loft space, and gardener’s WC, plus an additional garage with electric roller door. These facilities offer excellent
potential for equestrian or hobby use as well as the opportunity of residential conversion (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

LAND
The land offers superb potential for livestock or equestrian use. The land surrounding the house, within Lot 1, is divided into three well-maintained grass paddocks, each with water troughs, and is currently used for grazing. In addition, on the opposite side of the Bissoe Trail is a parking and storage area that leads into a wetland wildlife area with ponds. Lot 1 totals 2.21 acres.

Lot 2 consists of a further 2 well maintained grass paddocks as well as another 5 running up the valley side that are accessed over a former tramway. In total, Lot 2 amounts to 4.63 acres.

Throughout the land, natural hedge boundaries and mature native trees provide shelter and privacy, and along with the well managed and productive pasture create an ideal environment for horses or livestock. With direct access to the Bissoe Trail, riders can enjoy miles of off-road
hacking from coast to coast.
