DESCRIPTION

Rame Farm is an impressive and attractive detached stone fronted, five bedroomed, former farmhouse set in a delightful semi-rural location with some panoramic and far reaching views over common land to open countryside.

The current owner has extended and restyled the property to its current layout and the house offers very well proportioned accommodation with an excellent mix of reception rooms including a sitting room running front to back, separate dining room and an almost full width 3 Ref: LCAA6688 conservatory. Completing the ground floor is a nicely proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, large utility room/wc, boot room and separate study.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases – one from the kitchen/breakfast room and the other from the entrance lobby. The staircase from the kitchen/breakfast room leads to the master bedroom with its en-suite shower room and a second bedroom (these two rooms combined are currently used as a master bedroom suite with bedroom 2 used as a dressing room). The staircase from the entrance lobby leads to a part galleried landing, three further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Outside there are well stocked gardens surrounding the house with a decked sitting out terrace, vegetable plot, garden ponds as well as a small orchard. Extensive gated gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles leading to a detached double garage.

Rame Farm can, in all respects, be regarded as a very convenient place to live, in a house that has all the external character of some of Cornwall’s iconic farmhouses. For any purchasers with livestock, the paddock to the rear would prove extremely useful. The property’s delightful standalone rural position with lovely views over an area of common land on the opposite side of the road to open countryside beyond are a distinct attraction and provide easy access to immediate footpaths and bridleways.

In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres.

LOCATION

Rame Farm is situated on the outskirts of the rural hamlet of Carnkie which comes under in its postal address but is actually close to Falmouth which is a bustling harbour town providing a wide range of leisure, commercial and retail facilities together with active yacht clubs, access to boating facilities and some of the best day sailing waters available in the country with the harbour opening straight out onto the Carrick Roads.

The cathedral city of lies to the north which, being Cornwall’s capital, provides an excellent range of shops, trading estates, sports clubs and many commercial amenities together with a mainline station providing a direct link to London Paddington (travel time of approximately 4½ hours). The road network from Carnkie provides easy access to Truro, Falmouth and Helston to the south with easy links out to the A30 which remains largely dual carriageway all the way to Exeter joining the M5 to Bristol and the A303 to London. Southwards on the A30 are many excellent bathing/surfing beaches and the picturesque town of St Ives with its world famous Tate St Ives gallery, picturesque harbour and beaches.
