The Property - For those seeking a home with true character and warmth, this property may just be your dream come true. As you approach, a wide brick-paved driveway, framed by a traditional Cornish stone hedge and gated entrance, welcomes you. There's ample space for multiple vehicles, and even room for a motorhome or boat. To your left stands the main house, making an unforgettable first impression. Its stone frontage, adorned with expertly crafted granite lintels and quoins, exudes charm and heritage. The appeal is further enhanced by the presence of elegant, traditional box-sash windows. Shall we go inside and explore?

Step through the main door into a welcoming hall, and head left into a spacious and elegant sitting room. This light-filled space exudes both charm and sophistication. A wood-burning stove takes centre stage, perfect for those cosy winter evenings, perhaps with a good book and a steaming cup of tea. The ornate marble fire surround is a true work of art, adding to the room's character. I particularly love the exposed floorboards here, which add warmth and authenticity. The sitting room opens into a beautiful conservatory overlooking the rear garden, with doors leading to a raised decked terrace—an ideal spot for alfresco dining on summer evenings.

Two further reception rooms are also located on the ground floor, each seamlessly connected to the stunning kitchen breakfast room, which serves as the heart of the home. Now, I’ll admit, I’m not a fan of cooking, but in a kitchen like this, I might just change my mind. It’s the epitome of premium farmhouse style, with ample storage and countertop space that would impress even the most dedicated home chef. What a space to entertain and impress your guests! Off the kitchen, you'll find a practical entrance porch—perfect for storing boots and coats after a countryside walk—along with a convenient ground-floor WC and storage closet.

Head upstairs, and at the top of the landing, you'll be greeted by a beautiful arched sash window, flooding the space with natural light. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, but that description doesn’t quite capture the full story. The primary bedroom feels more like a private suite, featuring its own reception room and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom includes an adjoining walk-in wardrobe with built-in storage, while the third bedroom offers charming countryside views. Completing the upstairs is a well-appointed family bathroom, providing both style and comfort.

Garden & Outbuildings - Heading outside, if you’ve been impressed so far, hold on tight—it’s about to get even better! The expansive plot, approaching an acre, offers so many incredible features, it’s hard to know where to start. First, there are the beautiful, sprawling lawn areas, complemented by large raised decking, perfect for entertaining. You’ll also find charming summer houses, greenhouses, and raised planters—ideal for growing your own vegetables and embracing the good life. A large pond, complete with a wooden jetty that extends out over the water, adds a tranquil touch.

As you explore further, you'll come across a delightful chalet that instantly transports you to a cosy, rustic Alpine retreat. Currently operating as a successful holiday let, it presents a fantastic opportunity for additional income. Next, we come to an unconverted stone barn, the inner property developer within me is just itching to get my hands on it - and guess what? It already has approved planning permission! Finally, we have an expansive series of workshops, previously home to our sellers thriving tile production business, which offer so much potential for your next venture.
