3 Ref: LCAA7648 DESCRIPTION

Stone Farm and Stone Farm Cottage are found in a picturesque sheltered shallow valley setting at the end of a long driveway, surrounded by their own about 8½ acers of grounds. This is a home of exceptional privacy and quality that has been very impressively renovated, extended and improved during our client’s 20 year ownership. During that time the renovation has included both the main house and cottage with Delabole slate roofs now covering them and also the detached garaging and cinema/office outbuildings. The extensions are seamless with matched granite elevations punctuated by handmade white painted double glazed windows. Although the house retains a huge amount of its original character this is now blended with modern features such as underfloor heating, contemporary lighting, an integrated multi room Sonos system, high quality bathrooms and a bespoke George Robinson kitchen with Aga. Bespoke cabinetry was also fitted in the bedrooms and to the sitting room where it conceals the television and media systems.

All of these systems of course require power and Stone Farm is effectively self sufficient in both power and water via its own borehole and filtration system. Power comes from a 10kW wind turbine situated far away from the house and painted to blend with the surrounding countryside. This generates the electricity used throughout the buildings, including for the Aga and to heat the hot water and underfloor heating systems. In addition, there are solar thermal panels which are used to heat the swimming pool but once this is up to temperature the additional heat is added to the house hot water system therefore allowing more electricity to be sent back to the National Grid with yearly incomes ranging between £7,000 and £9,000 per annum tax free. An oil fired boiler provides a backup system and mains electricity and water can also be drawn if needed or desired and many of the systems can be accessed by an App on a Smartphone providing control even when away from the property. 4 Ref: LCAA7648

The accommodation of the house extends to about 2,900sq.ft. with an initial porch then opening through to the nearly 46’ long open-plan kitchen/dining room with the kitchen area being under a vaulted ceiling and there is also adequate space for further seating around a woodburning stove in the heart of the building. A broad opening from here leads to a semi open- plan lounge further adding to the feel of space. A much larger sitting room also has an impressive fireplace and opens onto the south west facing terrace. In addition, the ground floor has a study and an inner hall leads to the sizeable laundry room, a wc and has the bespoke oak staircase to the first floor rising from it. The first floor has five double bedrooms, all of which have fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom is particularly large and has a view to the sea as well as its own en-suite bath/shower room, whilst one of the other bedrooms also has an en-suite shower room and there is a further high quality family bath/shower room. Two of the bedrooms have their own external accesses from the garden which gives more flexibility to the accommodation.

5 Ref: LCAA7648 In addition to the main house, Stone Farm Cottage is found on the other side of the drive and has been cleverly designed so that its huge vaulted ceilinged kitchen/reception room overlooks and opens onto a garden to its rear therefore providing privacy to Stone Farm. This delightful single storey cottage has two double bedrooms, a shower room, bathroom and utility room as well as a large front porch and its own parking area to the side. Although more recently used as a long term let, Stone Farm Cottage previously generated around £20,000 per annum as a holiday rental property as far back as 2008. In addition, there is a further superb granite faced and Delabole slate roofed outbuilding finished to the same standards as the house and stretching to approximately 19’ x 19’. This was originally conceived as a cinema and games room but has also been used as a home office and already has concealed plumbing in place should a new owner wish to convert it into a further cottage or annexe, subject to all necessary consents.

The idyllic setting of Stone Farm is magical with the property’s own fields wrapping around the gorgeous mostly lawned grounds which has a stream running through it and feeding a 6 Ref: LCAA7648 delightful pond before continuing on its way down to Portheras Cove with this sandy beach being only about 10 minutes’ walk away. Between wings at the rear of the house is a dining terrace from where there is a glimpse of the sea in the distance although it can be clearly seen from many higher parts of the grounds. To the front is a sheltered sun terrace and beside the heated swimming pool is a sunken semi circular entertaining terrace. In addition, there are numerous outbuildings including changing rooms, showers and pump room, garden stores, triple garaging and log store, garden machinery store and a modern tractor shed. The grounds extend to about 8½ acres in total and enjoy peace and seclusion which makes them a haven for wildlife including swallows, wild geese, buzzards and herons.

LOCATION

The coastal hamlet of Bojewyan is adjacent to Pendeen and is about a mile from Portheras Cove which is one of a few good sized beaches in the area and sits below .

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The property is approached through a granite piered entrance with painted metal gate which opens onto a long gravelled driveway with a central grass strip all easily passable by low slung cars. The drive leads along beside an open area of lawn edged by a beautiful stream with wildflower banks. Further trees and hydrangeas line the other side of the 15 Ref: LCAA7648 driveway. The drive culminates in a large gravelled parking and turning area giving access to the garages and separate parking area beside the cottage. A now grassed over track then leads up to the outbuildings and beyond giving access to the fields as well as to a secluded area ideal for burning and composting etc.

To the front of the house is a pretty flint chipped terrace with planted beds behind granite walls. Beside this and outside of the sitting room is a sheltered granite paved terrace facing south and west with a gate then leading into the side garden. In addition, there is also a flint chipped dining terrace opened onto by stable doors from the kitchen and laundry, which also enjoys shelter behind trees, a huge camellia and low granite walls with rosemary tumbling over the edges. The gravel leads around the edge of the house and there are two flights of granite steps up into the gardens.

16 Ref: LCAA7648 Large areas of lawn are found alongside the driveway, sweeping around the rear of the house where there are also numerous trees and views down to the sea and also around the cottage next to which is a picturesque pond and area of lawn edged by beds. The pond is fed by the stream coming down off the moorland with this stream then eventually tumbling down into Portheras Cove. To the south east side of the house are further sheltered lawns with raised beds including low trees, hebes, grasses, flowering shrubs and palms. These gardens surround the swimming pool and open onto the surrounding paving including the cleverly designed semi circular sunken terrace which overlooks the pool but enjoys shelter. This area has proved to be wonderful for parties with the pool cover retracted making for a huge space.

Various gates open from the gardens into the surrounding four fields which also have interlinking gates. In one of the fields close to the swimming pool, an underground cable has been laid to provide the ability to install chalets or yurts facing down over the fields to the sea subject to all necessary consents.

In all, about 8½ acres.
