Description

DIRECTIONS


what3words location - sweetly.regretted.perfume


From Trerulefoot take the road signposted Torpoint. Having passed through Polbathic proceed for approximately 2 miles and then bear right as signposted ‘Millbrook’. Having driven through Crafthole proceed on the road towards Millbrook. On entering the village of Millbrook, the property will be the first bungalow on the right signposted Higher Hounster Farm. 


SITUATION

Millbrook is a South East Cornwall village on the Rame Peninsula, around 4 miles south of Saltash and directly across the water from the naval city of Plymouth. Set at the head of a tidal creek framed by the Lynher and Tamar rivers and the sea, the area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


The village offers a good selection of everyday amenities, including a Spar with post office, a Co-op, primary school, village hall, newsagent and several independent shops. The nearby beaches at Whitsand Bay and Cawsand Bay provide opportunities for swimming, sailing and a variety of other watersports, while Mount Edgcumbe Country Park offers extensive coastal and countryside walking routes.


Plymouth, the main retail hub west of Exeter, lies roughly 8 miles away and provides a comprehensive range of shops, services and leisure facilities, as well as ferry links to France and Spain.


DESCRIPTION 


Higher Hounster Farm features a detached three-bedroom bungalow (subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition) set on a generous plot in an elevated position on the edge of the attractive village of Millbrook. While the property would benefit from some modernisation internally, it presents an excellent opportunity for buyers and offers scope for extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.  This unique property offers great potential for modernisation, making it an exciting opportunity for buyers.


The property extends internally to 2,116 square feet (196.6 square metres) to include the double garage, and comprises the following accommodation :-  


Front entrance porch, entrance hallway, utility room, outside WC, kitchen, lounge, conservatory, airing cupboard, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, bedroom 3, separate WC, bathroom.

The property is positioned within a spacious, gently sloping garden wrapping around the east and south sides of the property, framed by mature shrub and flower borders. Former bird enclosures and a selection of old vegetable plots with raspberry canes offer scope for creative planting or a productive kitchen garden, while a greenhouse provides further growing space.


The agricultural land is situated on the west side of the property itself, extending to approximately 6 acres (2.42 hectares). There are two timber frame sheds as shown on the floorplan which are suitable for storage purposes. 


Double Garage
Double doors, concrete floor, electric light and power points. Offering potential scope for conversion/ extension in the future (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). 


The whole stands in mature gardens with small lawn area and close by there are small Poultry Houses with outdoor run. Also close by is an aluminium framed Greenhouse and two other Greenhouses of plastic construction.
