PRICE GUIDE £350,000.00
If you’ve been dreaming of a character-filled countryside retreat within easy reach of the Cornish coast, this is your chance.
This beautifully converted reverse-level stone barn combines rustic charm with modern comfort. Tucked away in a peaceful rural hamlet between vibrant Porthleven and historic Helston, this unique home offers a rare blend of tranquility and convenience.
Step into the light-filled, open-plan living space where vaulted beamed ceilings, cozy wood burner, and views over the Penrose Estate create an atmosphere of warmth and character. The spacious lounge flows into a well-appointed kitchen, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings in.
Downstairs, the barn offers a flexible layout — currently arranged as three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, a second double room, and a versatile third room ideal as a nursery, study, or snug. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside, enjoy a private, enclosed courtyard garden, perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. The property is situated within an exceptionally well maintained farm, with a small number of permanent homes and equestrian facilities. With two allocated parking spaces and easy access to the National Trust Penrose Estate, this home is ideal for walkers, nature-lovers, or anyone seeking a slower pace of life without being off the grid.
