DESCRIPTION

Fairview Farm is found in a beautiful unspoilt rural area between Mithian, St Agnes and Perranporth, just short a drive from Truro. The house itself cannot be seen from the start of its long driveway which splits inside the entrance leading both to the house and its 3 Ref: LCAA7408 double garage and also to a further large parking area set away from the house behind a high yew hedge. The house and its attached cottage have a classic Cornish farmhouse aesthetic with first floor windows below the eaves to the front elevation and three large gables to the rear giving the building significant accommodation which extends to about 3,000sq.ft. in total. The left hand part of the building from the front is the main four bedroomed house with modern first floor bath/shower room, huge lounge and fireplace, dining room and recently refitted kitchen and large utility room. The adjacent cottage has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a triple aspect lounge and a spacious kitchen/dining room off a large hall. The cottage has been both shorthold let and holiday let through Airbnb during our clients’ about 13 year ownership. The layout is ideal for two generations of the same family to live very separately but still beside each other and there is of course potential to combine the two accommodations into one very large house, subject to all necessary consents.

For those looking to generate an income from their home then the cottage is not the only opportunity as part of the extensive grounds which stretch to over 7 acres, has previously been used as a commercial driving range, mostly focussing on the holiday market but also with year round users utilising the self service operation. The driving range still has its business permission and consists of an eight bay covered range looking out across the large field with fantastic countryside views stretching all the way to Bodmin Moor and with glimpses of the coast around Perranporth. In addition, there are a range of outbuildings including an automated ball machine, portacabin, garden office and workshop and a sizeable machinery store/workshop and toilet block. These various outbuildings also providing numerous other potential uses either for recreation or a home business. The 4 Ref: LCAA7408 field has also been utilised for horses and it would seem fairly straightforward to convert the driving range building into stabling. In addition, around the house, there are large open lawns and more secluded gardens allowing any business uses to be kept quite separate from the house.

LOCATION

Fairview Farm is located in a rural and little populated area of Mithian Downs just outside the pretty village of Mithian. Mithian has a popular inn and a well thought of primary school and only a couple of miles further away is the sought after coastal town of St Agnes which has various inns, restaurants, shops and general stores supplying all day to day needs. The attractive Victorian and Georgian properties in St Agnes run down to the sea at Trevaunance Cove where there are also splendid cliff top walks along the South West Coast Path. To the west there are gorgeous golden sand beaches at Chapel Porth and Porthtowan and to the east there is Perranporth which sits at the head of a 2 mile long golden sandy surfing beach and has a good selection of shops as well as a fantastic links golf course.

Around 15 minutes’ drive from the property is the cathedral city of Truro, the capital of Cornwall, which is the best served conurbation until one reaches Exeter. Truro’s wide and attractive streets have a healthy mix of local and national retailers, along with many inns, restaurants, bistros and cafés. There is a mainline railway station on the to Paddington line at Truro along with a leisure centre and Cornwall’s main hospital. The recently built Richard Lander secondary school between Threemilestone and Truro is less than 10 minutes’ drive away and is close to Truro College, whilst there are also three private schools around Truro.

The detached double garage is at the end of the parking area to the front of the house.

DRIVING RANGE

Until about four years ago the property ran a commercial driving range which was particularly popular during the summer months and produced an income of about £600 per week in the high season with guests commenting that the peace and quiet and far reaching views were part of the appeal. The planning permission is still in place for this to be used as a business or of course the large building could be converted into stabling with horses using the field in front of it.

DRIVING RANGE – 72’ x 15’ approx. Concrete base with large timber supports, timber cladding and metal roof. Eight individual stalls looking out over the field.

PORTACABIN – 33’5” x 9’9”. Divided into two rooms with one containing kitchen units and the other being open. Numerous windows, power and light.

BALL MACHINE. Contained in a separate lockable room is a ball machine so that paying guests can refill their buckets autonomously meaning that this business does not require full time manning.

TOILET BLOCK. Two separate rooms for gents and ladies. The toilets are one end of a much larger building with double doors from the field opening into the other end:-

WORKSHOP / MACHINERY STORE – 22’3” x 12’5”. Block construction with a concrete floor and metal roof. Power and light connected. External water tap.

The large field used a driving range has a five bar vehicular 11 Ref: LCAA7408 gate opening into it just off the end of the driveway making it easy for access.
