First Floor: 3 bedrooms, family bathroom, shower room. Studio/Annexe: studio/bedroom/sitting room 20’ minimum x 14’9”, en-suite bathroom. Outside: lawned hedged gardens to the rear of the property with open lawned gardens fronting the road. DESCRIPTION This is a wonderful opportunity for somebody to acquire a beautiful old stone farmhouse together with an attached, spacious L-shaped stone barn which was largely converted and refurbished between 2006 and 2008 and incorporated into the accommodation. The barn requires finishing but provides a wonderful space in which to expand the currently, useable accommodation. Behind the farmhouse is situated a detached stone studio/annexe together with hedged lawned gardens. In front of the farmhouse and barn are lawned gardens with direct frontage to the country lane. 3 Ref: LCAA6968 When the barn was converted, underfloor heating was installed and an oil fired boiler. The barn’s accommodation enhances the farmhouse accommodation by adding a huge kitchen/family/dining room 31’6” x 23’9” with a high 18’ vaulted ceiling with exposed A-frame trusses. This wonderful reception room has herringboned wood block flooring throughout and distinct sitting/dining and kitchen areas and two doors from this room open on to flights of oak steps leading down into further bedroom/reception areas which require finishing. The farmhouse has three bedrooms on the first floor, a large family bathroom and separate shower room whilst the ground floor provides an entrance hall/snug with fireplace and woodburning stove, the sitting room with an oil fired Rayburn and slate flag flooring, a utility room and separate boot room. The property has the potential to make a wonderful and spacious family home and due to its proximity to the coast and popular fishing village of Boscastle, it may also provide excellent potential for a holiday home or holiday letting income or is ideal as a main home with the separate studio/annexe which could be let on an assured shorthold or holiday basis, depending on any necessary consents. LOCATION This fine old farmhouse and barn, are situated in the small hamlet of Treworld which although rural is also very close to the north Cornish coast just to the east of the picturesque fishing village of Boscastle. The hamlet is approached through winding lanes which drop down through wooded valleys and out across open farmland that is sparsely inhabited. There are stunning coastal walks in the area to be enjoyed by following the South West Coastal Footpath, accessing picturesque fishing villages, the nearest being at Boscastle and there are broad sandy beaches up to the north at Widemouth and surfing breaks at Widemouth and Millook. This area has a real feel of a bygone era in Cornwall and feels untouched by time, making it popular with many holidaymakers who come to enjoy the unspoilt scenery and coastline. There is fairly easy access back out to the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road) which provides swift access south westwards into the county or a dual carriageway link northwards to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. To the south east, the town of Bodmin provides a mainline railway station that has a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. To the south, along the coast, are further beaches and coastal resorts of Rock and Polzeath with further fishing villages such as Port Isaac and Padstow all within easy reach.
