SUMMARY OF PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION Entrance hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen with pantry off, games rooms, snug, study, utility room. Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room, 2 double guest bedrooms with en-suites, 2 further double bedrooms, family bathroom. Outside: a quiet country lane approach accesses a long private driveway leading up through the paddocks to the barn, there are gravelled parking and turning areas around the barn and a pretty stream runs down through the paddocks and a pretty stream runs along the bottom of the valley. In all, the paddocks and gardens extend to approximately 15 acres.

DESCRIPTION Such opportunities are extremely hard to find. Enjoying a peaceful and tranquil rural position with lovely views out over the grounds, paddocks and surrounding countryside; an extremely attractive and sizeable L-shaped stone barn which has planning permission approved in 2018 (PA18/09206) to be converted in to a superb residence that will comprise five bedrooms, five reception rooms and four bathrooms (three en-suite). Various commencement works for the project have already been done including the construction of the long private driveway from a quiet country lane all the way up through the paddock to the barn. During construction of the driveway we understand, ducting was laid the entire length of it to allow access for BT cables. There is a temporary electric supply connected which is Phase I and a quote has been obtained from Western Power for the installation of Phase III electrics if they were ever required which would include the removal of the existing

pole, the erection of a new one away from the barn and underground cables to connect to the property. The borehole has been installed so there is water available on site. The old silos have been removed from the barn and the concrete floors have also been removed. The roof slates have also been removed with those that could be retained having been stored on site. For safety reasons, adjacent to the barn, where the driveway drops down into the parking area there is an area that has been reinforced with gabion baskets and in the two storey section of the barn, the second floor has been removed.

New planning permission has been acquired which allows for the conversion of the barn and the new construction of a detached double garage. The barn will be set within formal garden areas around it with gates out into paddocks which descend through an unspoilt south facing valley with an attractive stream running through the land. In all the grounds extend to approximately 15 acres. For the right buyer, our client is prepared to include with the sale, all plans from the architects, structural engineer drawings and calculations including a geotechnical report that has been carried out together with the results from the various trial pits that were excavated by request from the structural engineer. There is a structural survey report, a timber inspection report and bat mitigation licence. N.B. Please note that bat boxes have already been erected on site. All the enabling works that have been carried out are important and costly pre-requisites of realising the construction process and will also save a buyer considerable time in the construction process. 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 within 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. The nearby villages of Pelynt and Polruan provide day to day shopping facilities as do the fishing villages 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. There are train stations in the nearby towns of Saltash and Liskeard which provide a main line link to London Paddington with an approximate travel time of 4½ hours.
