Adjacent to Tregoose Barn is a large SINGLE STOREY STONE BARN 54’3” x 32’ max., 16’ min., providing excellent potential to create further ground floor accommodation to Tregoose Barn or further letting units (subject to the necessary consents, we understand planning permission was at one time granted for this barn to be converted in to two letting units under planning application PA97/00179/G 24/4/97 and further referred to under W2/PA97/001794/FE01 where an extension of time was obtained. This planning has now lapsed but may be favourably viewed if reapplied for). The properties are situated amidst beautiful open countryside, in an elevated position that affords lovely views and set in landscaped gardens of approximately 1¾ acres comprising formal gardens around the house and barn with a belt of woodland behind the rear garden and a small paddock below the main house. 3 Ref: LCAA6147 DESCRIPTION An impressive, superbly refurbished range of former farm buildings comprising a 4/5 reception roomed, 5/6 bedroomed stone farmhouse set in a courtyard of further stone buildings including a refurbished stone barn that has been beautifully converted and provides 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor with 3 reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. Attached to Tregoose Barn, on one side, is a further SINGLE STOREY BARN (54’3” x 32’ max., 16’ min) which offers excellent potential for extension to Tregoose Barn or further letting units and has in the past had such planning permission although this has now lapsed. Between the farmhouse and the barn, accessed from the farmhouse and the courtyard, is a luxury indoor swimming pool complex with built-in swim spa pool with a Jacuzzi area at one end and current jets to swim against, at the other. At one end of the swimming pool 4 Ref: LCAA6147 room is a changing and shower area and off it, is a plant room. The farmhouse has latterly been used as a main residence whilst Tregoose Barn (although enjoying fully residential status in planning terms) has been holiday let to provide a useful income, the previous owners let both the farmhouse and the barn and the farmhouse was sympathetically adapted for use by the disabled which enabled it to attract a niche holiday audience and provided a successful holiday business. Both properties are now offered to the market in good decorative order throughout. The farmhouse and the barn enjoy their own private gardens and the central gravelled courtyard provides a communal parking/turning area to each property and the ancillary outbuildings. Surrounding the formal gardens is an area of wild woodland and a small paddock in front of the main house, both of which have been recently purchased. In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1¾ acres. The main farmhouse provides versatile and very spacious accommodation providing 5/6 bedrooms, 4/5 reception rooms providing an excellent mix of sleeping and living accommodation. Our clients have continued to improve the property with the installation of three new woodburning stoves to the main drawing room, dining room and family room. Tregoose Barn is extremely large and spacious and could quite easily accommodate either a fourth bedroom or an en-suite but has been converted to three large double bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom, whilst on the ground floor is a superb sitting room with central fireplace, dining room and separate kitchen/breakfast room off which is the conservatory. Each property is extremely well presented and has its own private gardens providing privacy to both. 5 Ref: LCAA6147 LOCATION Sithney is a small rural hamlet on the north western side of Helston town and Tregoose is a farmstead on the outskirts of Sithney set amidst beautifully unspoilt countryside of open fields and surrounding woodland.
