A true home with income/lifestyle opportunity. • The barn itself sits privately at the end of a long gated driveway and provides spacious, flexible 3/4 bedroomed accommodation with plenty of character. • Immediately to the front of the barn is a large parking area and dedicated allotment with polytunnel frame and raised vegetable beds along with various sheds and a chicken enclosure. This area would obviously be very attractive for potential purchasers seeking a potential self sufficient lifestyle. • Located to the side of the entrance driveway are two level paddocks of 1¼ acres and 1 acre respectively along with a stable block with tack room/hay store. • At the end of the parking area there is a large open fronted double garage with attached garage currently being used as a workshop. • The detached Grade II Listed two bedroomed thatched cottage is approached by a separate gated drive and has its own large parking area and well stocked, private garden. The cottage is currently used by the owners as a holiday letting property which we are advised has been successfully let. Potential buyers are advised that ongoing letting commitments would need to be honoured. The availability of Higher Prospidnick Farm and Cottage as a whole in such a beautiful rural location provides a very rare and limited opportunity, especially considering the income potential as well as the benefit of large allotment, woodland area, two paddocks and stabling. Accordingly, interested buyers are strongly recommended to view without delay. LOCATION The immediate surroundings of Higher Prospidnick Farm and Cottage are classic Cornish countryside with pockets of woodland and open farmland crisscrossed by footpaths and bridleways making this an ideal equestrian area. Although the property is quietly located, it is also very convenient for the nearby roads to Redruth which then leads onto the A30 expressway, and Falmouth, Cornwall’s largest port town with excellent sailing facilities. The market town of Helston is about 3 miles away whilst the cathedral city of Truro, with its railway station and highly regarded shopping centre is about 16 miles distant. The beautiful Helford River, as depicted by Daphne du Maurier in her book Frenchman’s Creek, lies to the south east as does Mullion Golf Course above Poldhu Cove on the scenic Lizard coastline. The beautiful golden sandy beaches of Gunwalloe and Poldhu are close at hand whilst Mullion’s challenging 18-hole golf course is just above Gunwalloe – a real Links adventure! The Lizard Peninsula is a paradise of walks, beaches, history, geology and of course fishing villages full of life, day and night. Hosting some of the most scenic and beautiful walks in the South West together with contrasting coastline and atmospheric sheltered wooded creeks – the area much loved, visited and often mentioned by many literary, poetic and artistic figures. 4 Ref: LCAA7270 To the south of Helston are Porthleven Sands and Loe Bar stretching away from the fishing village of Porthleven which has recently become recognised for the quality of its restaurants. For those in search of a lovely family home with income in a delightful setting, be cannot overemphasise the importance of viewing this particular property as, we believe, it is sure to impress. OUTSIDE Access to Higher Prospidnick Farm is via a timber gated entrance to a sweeping driveway which culminates in a large gravelled parking area with space for a number of vehicles.
