Description

Five bedroomed Cornish farmhouse with outbuildings and woodland in a delightful rural setting. NO ONWARD CHAIN

SITUATION AND DECRIPTION
Tucked away down a private lane and surrounded by open farmland and ancient woodland, this extraordinary Grade II listed Cornish farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of remarkable heritage and character.

This historic home exudes timeless charm and offers a wealth of period features including original fireplaces, wide timber floorboards, and thick stone walls that tell stories of centuries past.
The setting is truly idyllic - peaceful, private, and deeply rural yet within easy reach of the stunning Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just half a mile away from the Cornish Hamlet of Downgate. The main house stands in an delightful position, surrounded by farmland and fields, with mature gardens, a walled garden, and enchanting woodland to the side - perfect for nature lovers or those seeking rural tranquillity.
The main farmhouse offers well-proportioned rooms with character and flexibility, ideal for those looking to restore a special home. The property is in need of sympathetic renovation, in keeping with its Grade II listed status, presenting an exciting opportunity for a buyer to bring it back to life.

Complementing the farmhouse are a range of traditional outbuildings. A converted detached barn now serves as a one-bedroom annex, ideal for guests or holiday letting; a further detached barn could provide another of the same with some refurbishment. A former cow shed and additional stone buildings offer excellent potential for garage use, workshop space, storage, or further conversion (subject to permissions).

Downgate is a sought after and attractive village in East Cornwall and offers a pleasant rural lifestyle with numerous country walks through the lanes and local woodland. The neighbouring village of Stoke Climsland offers a Primary School, Village Store and Social Club. The nearest town is Callington where there are supermarkets and a Secondary School and many people in the area commute to the City of Plymouth.
