Ref: LCAA8581 Offers over £265,000 (Extra land available) Butteriss Mowhay, Butteriss, Edgcumbe, Penryn, Nr. Falmouth, Cornwall, TR10 9EF FREEHOLD A well presented, attached, 2 double bedroomed single storey barn, converted about 12 years ago, with high ceilinged, naturally light accommodation, facing south west over a charming, enclosed courtyard plus a further level lawned garden. A conveniently located home with driveway parking for 3-4 vehicles, well positioned for access to Helston, Falmouth and Truro, ready for immediate occupation and available with no onward chain. 2 Ref: LCAA8581 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Covered open fronted entrance porch, kitchen, living room with woodburning stove, rear hall, 2 double bedrooms, family bath/shower room. Outside: large low maintenance south west facing courtyard garden plus further mainly level lawned garden and adjacent gravelled parking area for 3-4 vehicles. A further parcel of adjacent land is available at a price of offers over £35,000, only to the purchaser of Butteriss Mowhay. DESCRIPTION • Butteriss Mowhay is a large converted barn within a courtyard of former farm buildings, constructed we believe circa 1900, with the conversion carried out in 2008. More recently, a scheme of modernisation and maintenance has taken place and it is now offered in good decorative order throughout, vacant and ready for immediate occupation. • The buildings have lovely stone and granite elevations under slate roofs, most notably the inner south west facing courtyard is a large, sheltered space and a real suntrap. In addition to this, positioned to the front of the properties, a good sized, mostly level enclosed lawned garden, with further lower gravelled seating area plus driveway parking for 3-4 vehicles. • Inside, the space on offer is a very pleasant surprise with the feeling of voluminous proportions due to its very high ceilings with an exceptionally spacious sitting/dining room, two good sized double bedrooms and a decent size kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating throughout the accommodation. The sitting room has a feature woodburning stove and whilst the over 11’ ceiling height makes the accommodation feel exceptionally large, it also feels cosy. • In addition to the courtyard garden and further lawn, there is an additional parcel of land, on the opposite side of the driveway. This broad, rectangular piece of land borders the public highway and offers a fantastic additional area to utilise, subject to all necessary consents, as an extension to the garden, or perhaps to construct a garage/home office, barn, field shelter or similar. We have been advised by our client that planning permission for a residential dwelling is unlikely to be achieved. This additional parcel of land is only available to the purchaser of Butteriss Mowhay and will not be sold separately in advance of the sale of Butteriss Mowhay. 3 Ref: LCAA8581 LOCATION Edgcumbe is a small hamlet between Helston and Penryn/Falmouth with Stithians Reservoir and its water sports facilities just to the north.

This then leads to the concreted base of the open front entrance porch, formerly this area had been proposed as an area likely to be enclosed as an extension to the accommodation and has the pipework for the underfloor heating already installed. 5 Ref: LCAA8581 Off the parking area, and to the sunny westerly elevation of the house is a very good sized, mainly level enclosed lawned garden, bordered by close board fencing and mature treelined boundary. There is also a concrete base ready for a garden shed or home office (subject to necessary consents), as well as the oil tank for the central heating system behind block built walls. There is a large courtyard garden to the south western side of the house.
