* Luxury property for sale in Cornwall
The property is a charming farmhouse with a pretty façade offering cosy but spacious accommodation. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large farmhouse kitchen and three large reception rooms besides a separate office/study.
The accommodation is informal in layout and retains many original period features with beamed ceilings, wood-burning stoves and fireplaces.
Across the courtyard from the main house is a detached two story holiday cottage with three bedrooms and a large open-plan living room/kitchen on the first floor opening out onto a deck and private lawned garden.
In addition to this there is also a useful range of outbuildings attached to the property including a stone barn, workshop, mower shed and a large hay barn. A small stable block is also located behind the main property.
The farmhouse has a slate terrace across the front with a walled upper garden beyond this. A path from here leads to a wonderfully secluded large lower garden which is well stocked and surrounded by trees and there is also a fruit and vegetable garden to the rear of the house.
