5 bed detached house for sale

Barras Moor, Perranarworthal TR3

The property

This superb, detached stone farmhouse is believed to date back to the mid-19th century and has been sympathetically renovated in recent years to combine modern comforts with timeless period character. The ground floor offers spacious, light-filled accommodation, including a welcoming sitting room featuring exposed stone walls, a substantial fireplace and wood-burning stove. The impressive kitchen/dining room is fitted with stylish, timeless cabinetry and an Aga, creating a perfect balance of traditional farmhouse charm and modern practicality. Large windows frame views across the beautifully maintained gardens, while a generous conservatory provides additional living space and direct access outside. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room.

The detached pool house offers exceptional flexibility. Currently generating a strong income as holiday accommodation, it could also serve as guest accommodation, multi-generational living or a home office and leisure complex. On the ground floor, the pool house includes a kitchen/dining area, dedicated cinema room with 94-inch screen and tiered seating and a sauna and steam room. The first floor provides spacious open-plan sleeping accommodation for up to four guests, with potential to create separate bedrooms if desired.

Outside, the professionally installed heated swimming pool has recently benefited from an upgraded air-source heating system, creating a luxurious outdoor space for relaxation throughout much of the year. The extensive mature gardens are beautifully landscaped with lawns, established planting, sunny terraces and shaded seating areas, ideal for entertaining or peaceful enjoyment. A large patio provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining, while a premium hot tub is available by separate negotiation.

The location

Ideally positioned between Truro and Falmouth, the property enjoys excellent access to both the north and south Cornish coasts, placing many of Cornwall's finest beaches within easy reach.

Perranarworthal is highly desirable as a residential location, notable for its idyllic setting and location equidistant between Truro and Falmouth. The nearby village of Perranwell offers everyday amenities including a shop, cricket and football clubs and a train station linking to Falmouth and Truro.

The property is set in attractive thoughtfully planted surroundings which teem with wildlife, from where Muntjac and Red deer occasionally appear. Nearby is the popular creekside village of Devoran which has an excellent school, a village pub and access directly on to the beautiful Restronguet Creek. Carnon Downs itself has a very useful range of local facilities including a shop and post office.

The area is incredibly well placed for the creeks of the Fal Estuary and Mylor Yacht Harbour (where Sir Ben Ainslie learnt to Sail) just a short drive away, arguably some of the best day-sailing waters in the UK.

Both Falmouth and Truro are approximately six miles away providing an extensive range of facilities including national class schools and colleges, hospitals, The National Maritime Museum, Hall for Cornwall and mainline railway connections to London Paddington.
