Overview

Charming four bedroomed period farmhouse with 2 x two storey detached stone barns and additional farm outbuildings suitable for redevelopment, set within beautiful mature gardens and surrounding pastoral meadows amounting to approximately seven acres, on the edge of the village of Goonhavern, near the North Cornish coast. Available to purchase for the first time in nearly forty years and requiring general renovation, the property, nevertheless, offers comfortable family-sized living accommodation including, on the ground floor, a spacious L-shaped living room with log burner and original inglenook fireplace, snug, dining room, kitchen with adjacent utility, and cloakroom/WC. Upstairs there is a recently-refitted family bathroom and four good-sized bedrooms. Outside there are two very handsome two-storey stone outbuildings which have been partially converted to form ancillary guest and home office accommodation, though with obvious further development potential, subject to appropriate permissions. Other outbuildings include a block-built garage/workshop, a former milking parlour and a range of timber-framed animal and machinery storage sheds. The property sits within superb landscaped gardens, subdivided into discrete sections, containing a host of well-established trees and shrubs, bordered by four large meadows, with the whole site amounting to approximately seven acres.

A pathway leads around the perimeter of the walled front lawn to stone-paved steps and a stable-style entrance door. Entering into the farmhouse kitchen, there is an adjacent utility area, housing the oil-fired boiler, and useful cloakroom/WC. From the kitchen there is a central breakfast/dining room with doors to a cosy snug/sitting room and large primary living room with its dual aspect to the front and rear gardens and inviting log burner housed within the original inglenook fireplace. From the adjacent snug/siting room there is external access to a southerly-facing private patio and rear gardens and turning staircase to the first floor landing, with doors to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Gardens, Grounds And Other Outbuildings

Little Carnkief Farm sits within extensive mature gardens and grounds, buffered by four large meadows to three sides, with the whole site amounting to approximately seven acres. To the front of the farmhouse, there is a lovely walled lawn offering a range of perennial shrubs, trees and flowers with a bucolic meadow view beyond. A block-built former milking parlour sits at one corner, providing a useful storage space for garden tools and furniture. A gateway to the side of the building leads through to an additional treelined area of garden containing a greenhouse, fishpond and wooden pergola seating area. A large raised bed at the southern perimeter has historically served as a fruit and vegetable growing area. From here, a lawned pathway links through to a generous southerly-facing rear lawn fringed by various well-established flowerbeds, trees and shrubs, with a timber summerhouse offering a lovely aspect on the farmhouse’s handsome Georgian-style rear facade. The property is served by a private driveway and central courtyard providing parking space for multiple vehicles and gated access to the network of enclosed meadows beyond. In addition to the main complex of buildings there is a block-built single garage with attached workshop/storage, tractor shed and various timber-framed farm and animal stores.
