The market town of Liskeard is 13 miles to the north with a large range of shopping and a mainline railway station with connections to London. The property is within easy commuting distance of both the county town of Truro and the maritime port of Plymouth. A delightful and beautifully presented converted barn standing A green lane borders the curtilage on two sides and continues as a gentle stroll or perfect neatly in 2.5 acres. dog walk to the fishing village of Polperro. The mantra 'rural yet not isolated' must have been penned for this delightful property. DESCRIPTION This impressive family home began its days as a barn to the 15th Century farmhouse nearby. It was sympathetically and impressively converted to dispel the myths about converted barns being dark and hard to accommodate modern living. Originally finished to an extremely high standard, the present owners have relentless strived to better the accommodation to create the impressive home that it is today. Spacious, flexible, light and in-tune with modern family living are all easy headlines for Penellick Barn. The accommodation is arranged over two levels with reversed level accommodation and an impressive open plan living room provides stunning views overlooking its beautiful gardens. Usually for this arrangement, the gardens are accessed at this level via a recently constructed Philip Wear conservatory. The natural topography of the site brilliantly leads itself to this arrangement. To the south, attached yet not adjoined, is a single storey annexe which has a wide range of uses either for a dependent relative or as a holiday cottage. ACCOMMODATION Crossing the threshold from an attractive storm porch, this is a perfect place to kick off boots, stairs lead to the first floor reception accommodation. Back on the ground floor on the right is the guest bedroom with its en suite facilities and walk-in wardrobe. The other two double bedrooms also enjoy their own en suite facilities. At the far end of the house is a utility room. Upstairs the dramatic vaulted sitting room offers terrific flexibility and is loosely divided into relaxing and dining areas. Doors lead to the recent conservatory which opens to the gardens beyond. The kitchen is beautifully finished with a red Aga and complementing cream units. A stable door opens to a terraced area to the side that connects the kitchen to the garden. Annexe The annexe has a spacious sitting area with high vaulted ceiling and an attractive open plan kitchen. The bedroom features a high vaulted ceiling and, again, there is a beautifully finished en suite facility to the rear. The annexe has a wide range of uses either for a dependent relative or as a holiday cottage. GARDENS & GROUNDS The sizable plot extends to 2.4 acres. The present owners have been meticulous with the gardens, professionally and extensively landscaped. To the front is a lovely area of wildflower meadow with hundreds of indigenous trees planted by the Woodland Trust including willow, ash and beech. An attractive small lake attracts wildlife, yet the gardens are not just designed to look pretty, they are extremely productive with nine raised beds for ease of maintenance. The plentiful bounty includes asparagus, apples, pears, plums, raspberry, strawberries, gooseberry, figs and a host of other soft fruit trees and bushes. In front of the property there is a driveway, which leads to the adjoining property. An in and out driveway leads off this with a large parking area surrounded by well stocked borders. To the rear, a gate provides access to a gravelled parking area leading to a timber outbuilding with pergola to the front and wood store to the side. The garden is landscaped and is predominantly laid to lawn with an array of specimen shrubs and mature borders. There is an area of raised vegetable garden and a glass house. Steps lead down to a lower level of garden where there is a most attractive water feature. Outbuilding The recent addition of a timber outbuilding is currently used in three distinct areas as a garage, workshop and office with built-in shelves and attic space above. To the side of the outbuilding is a 3,600 litre tank that collects rainwater from the roof of the outbuilding. TENURE Freehold. COUNCIL TAX BAND Band D. SERVICES Mains water. Private drainage.

  • Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE
    CORNISH ARCHAEOLOGY No. 25 (1986) Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE The Concept of a Bronze 'Age' Any review of the Bronze Age in Cornwall, or indeed in other areas of the British Isles, must today present the writer with a very different prospect to that which lay before Bernard Wailes 28 years ago, although much of the basic information remains the same. We now know, for example, that metallurgy was introduced into these islands before the middle of the third millennium bc, probably from two continental quarters, the Rhineland and the Atlantic region. Our period has lengthened and the calibration of radiocarbon dates means that it not only overlaps the Late Neolithic but also merges into the Iron Age in the mid-first millennium BC, giving a total of some 2000 years. The accumulation of data and dates, togther with advances in excavation and research techniques and the recognition of regional variation, make the whole concept of a Bronze 'age' far more complex than hitherto. In the 1960s, HawkeV scheme for the divisions of the British Bronze Age provided the framework (Hawkes, 1960) and was widely accepted in principle. As more radiocarbon dates have become available, there have nevertheless been surprises and many refinements have been applied, allowing a broader, more flexible approach into which ceramics and metalwork can be fitted. Today the most widely accepted scheme is that propounded by Burgess (in 5/0 wo OE AGE SIES SS 00 SX - 2,0 Fig 1 Location map showing principal sites mentioned in the text. Settlements or occupation

    Study 4978 Cornwall OnLine Census Project, 1891 This document was supplied by the depositor and has been modified by AHDS History Introduction THIS STUDY contains our [Cornwall Online Census Project] transcript of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall. It has been transcribed, checked and validated by the volunteers of the Cornwall Online Census Project, the Cornish arm of the Free Census project. The original records are held by The National Archives and this transcription is done with their permission. Image copies of the original returns can be viewed on film, fiche or CDROM from commercial suppliers and at many research facilities around the world. This study contains a full transcription of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall—a snapshot of the people and places of Cornwall on the night of April 5th, 1891. The file names are the PRO piece number code (without punctuation). About UK Census Returns About Free Census (FreeCEN) was started early in 2000 with a pilot project for the 1891 census returns for Devon. The aim of Free Census is to transcribe all the UK 19th century census returns. It is part of FreeUKGEN and is a sister project to FreeBMD and FreeREG. The intention is that all three of the UK primary sources for the family historian will be online and “free to view.” Six months after the Devon project started, the Cornwall 1891 commenced. Most English and Welsh counties are now covered for the 1891, with the Scottish projects concentrating on the 1841. There are several English 1861 projects, using commercially produced discs and two English 1841 projects, including Cornwall.

  • Population Change in Cornwall 1951-2001
    Population change in Cornwall 1951-2001 1951-61 At mid-century Cornwall seemed to have resumed the pattern familiar from the 1860s. Overall, there was another slight absolute drop in population in the 1950s. Several parishes in rural east Cornwall lost more than 10% of their population. Things were different in mid-Cornwall where the growth of Newquay was maintained and here more parishes gained than lost people. Population growth was particularly striking in some rural parishes near Truro – in Probus, Ruanlanihorne, Kea and St Just in Roseland. Meanwhile, boosted by cold war military spending, Helston grew quickly. But in west Penwith, like east Cornwall, the picture was reminiscent of the second half of the nineteenth century, with widespread population falls. Cornwall seemed irrevocably locked into population decline, so much so that the County Council planners in 1952 forecast that population would only grow slowly, if at all, to 1971, as net out-migration and an ageing population structure combined to produce a sustainable steady-state population regime. But events were soon to prove them hopelessly wrong. 1961-71 During the 1960s a fundamental shift occurred in the demographic regime, the first major turning point since the 1860s. From a state of population stability Cornwall was now set to experience a state of population growth. And not just growth, but major growth. Population rose in the 1960s at a rate of 11.5%, something not seen since the 1830s. And this was to prove to be no temporary phenomenon. It was followed by further growth of 9.2% in the 1970s, 12.3% in the 1980s and 7.0% in the 1990s.
