Ref: LCAA7009 Offers in excess of £500,000 The Granary, Carwen Farm, Lanreath, Nr. Looe, Cornwall FREEHOLD A wonderful opportunity to acquire and convert a huge detached barn with planning permission granted to create a magnificent 5 bedroomed, 3 reception roomed detached family residence that will extend to approximately 3,800sqft and occupies a glorious, attractive and peaceful rural setting within garden and paddocks extending, in all to approximately 15 acres. 2 Ref: LCAA7009 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, dining hall, kitchen, utility room. First Floor: 2 bedrooms, en-suite bath. Study. Outside: the property will be surrounded by gardens, beyond which are fields, following the valley to the south and lying on both sides of the valley floor, with a pretty stream running initially along the boundary and then running through the centre of the fields. A new access driveway will be created along the left hand boundary of this land for the exclusive use of The Granary. The land in all extends to approximately 15 acres. DESCRIPTION It is indeed rare that a barn of such a size, in such a picturesque and peaceful rural setting, comes to the market. This handsome stone barn has full residential planning permission to be converted into an exceptional detached family home extending to circa 3,800sq.ft. which will provide seven bedrooms, three large reception rooms, a superb kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and four bathrooms, two of which are en-suite. 3 Ref: LCAA7009 The barn will be surrounded by garden and to the south, alongside the approach driveway, will be a series of paddocks bordering a pretty stream and running along a south facing valley which in total will extend to approximately 15 acres. 4 Ref: LCAA7009 LOCATION A rural location that will be desired by many, enjoying a beautifully peaceful rural valley setting, facing south and located in the hinter land of Cornwall’s south Riviera coastline, close to the fishing villages of Looe and Polperro and with easy reach of the deep harbour port and estuary of Fowey. The immediate area is one of mainly open farmland, with tracts of woodland, in gently contoured valleys. This barn is located sufficiently far enough away from the farmhouse such as to provide both with privacy and tranquillity. The nearby villages of Pelynt and Polruan provide day to day shopping facilities as do the fishing village of Polperro and the town of Looe. Inland the nearest town is Liskeard, which also provides a good mix of shops and a mainline railway station that provides a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4 hours. The barn is within a short drive of the coast, accessed through pretty country lanes. There are wonderful walks to be enjoyed via the South West Coastal Footpath, with much of the coastline under the stewardship of the National Trust. The nearby town and port of Looe sits astride the East Looe River which provides safe moorings within the harbour (by application to the harbourmaster) and therefore pleasure and sailing craft can be overwintered and enjoyed through the summer months from this safe harbour. Fishing trips can be booked from Looe which is reputedly the shark fishing capital of the UK and its eclectic mix of high street and local trading shops provide an interesting browsing experience. Polperro is a small fishing village offering a diverse range of local inns, shops, good restaurants and has an active fishing fleet. The lanes from the property connect fairly easily to the B3359 which proceeds away from the coast up to the A38 which remains dual carriageway largely all the way to the city of Plymouth (just into Devon). Plymouth provides a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities and a dual carriageway link northwards to Exeter and the national motorway network. 5 Ref: LCAA7009 SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of this barn under planning application PA17/04620. The planning is for residential use and allows for the demolition of the more modern additions and the construction of a single storey extension. This wonderful, large and highly individual residence will extend to over 3,800sq.ft. The property will be initially surrounded by generous gardens giving way to paddocks that follow a gently sloping south facing valley. A new entrance driveway will be created and in all the gardens and paddocks will extend to approximately 15 acres. The opportunity to create a private residence of this size, converted from such a handsome former stone barn is an extremely rare opportunity indeed especially taking into account the stunning setting which will provide good privacy and space between it and the nearest neighbour providing a peaceful and tranquil existence for both. Interested parties are advised to make us aware of their interest as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment.
