45 ACRE FARM WITH HOUSE AND BUILDINGS FOR TOTAL REFURBISHMENT
Located on the edge of the village in a prominent position and with good road frontage and easily accessed land.
A property in need of total refurbishment and capital investment but with enormous potential.
Substantial 3 bedroom house for renovation but with a renewed roof. Dilapidated and ruinous outbuildings. Land in a compact block and mostly level but including some croft and moorland.
General Remarks And Location - Penventon Farm has been in the same family ownership for several generations and hence its availability to the market is a rare opportunity. It lies on the eastern edge of Four Lanes with its land fronting the B3297 which passes through the centre of the village but with the house and buildings set well back and approached by its private drive. The house has not been lived-in for a number of years and although previously subject to a minor fire the house has been re-roofed in natural slate and windows replaced with double glazed units. However it is in need of total refurbishment and is not currently suitable for habitation. It comprises 3 bedrooms with bathroom on the first floor and 2 large receptions with kitchen and partially built utility and cloakroom areas on the ground floor.
Outside there are a range of farm buildings including stables, derelict cowsheds and the ruined remains of a traditional two-storey barn.
The land is mostly level but certain fields have been neglected and need attention. However the larger fields to the north of the homestead have been regularly cut for forage and are easily farmed. About 6 acres is scrub and former mine workings.
There are currently occupants on parts of the farm and further details are explained below.
Four Lanes is a vibrant village community about 3 miles from Reduth and part of the civil parish of Carn Brea. There is a village store and post office, pub and primary school within the village and further facilities nearby including various pubs, fish and chip shops, garages and churches etc In Redruth there are a selection of shops and a comprehensive secondary school whilst between Redruth and Camborne there are a selection of out-of-town stores and supermarkets. The nearest beach is at Portreath, there is sailing on nearby Stithians Reservoir and golf at Tehidy Country Park. The cathedral city of Truro is about 12 miles away.
The Farmhouse - This is substantially built in local stone and granite with a roof replaced with clipped natural slate in recent years apart from a small single storey extension at the rear which is flat felted. Windows have been largely replaced with double glazed units but otherwise the building is in need of complete refurbishment. A fire has caused some damage to one of the receptions and seemingly the house was being loosely converted to two flats when last occupied owing to a kitchen being formed on the first floor. With suitable investment the farmhouse can easily be restored to a fine character dwelling.

The land is all in grass (apart from about 6 acres of scrub and former mine waste workings) and whilst some of the fields have been regularly cut for hay or silage the fields around the farmstead have become unkempt and need attention. A roadway which is part of the freehold title and includes the entrance drive off the main road provides easy access to the larger fields to the north of the farm but is subject to rights of way over same for access to the TV and Telecom masts (see later remarks). There are fabulous views from the top of the farm of the monument and castle at Carn Brea and also out to sea.
Occupiers Of The Farm - The majority of the farm is offered for sale with vacant possession but certain parts are currently subject to the following occupiers.
There is a caravan/mobile home in the former mowhay to the rear of the farm buildings which has been occupied by Mr D Williams for approximately 15 years. A rent of £80 per calendar month is believed to have previously been paid but no payment is currently forthcoming. There are no water or electricity services connected to the caravan. Further details regarding the possibility of obtaining possession can be discussed with the agents.
The FOUR LANES CLAY PIGEON CLUB have occupied several acres of the former mine waste area and scrub to the north east of the farm and are believed to have previously been paying a rent of £140 per calendar month. No rent has recently been paid and the Club would like to open discussions with a new owner in respect of continued occupation.
Rights Of Way, Easements Etc - The farm will be sold subject to such rights of way, wayleaves and easements as may exist.
The owners of the property close to the farmstead known as "Santa Maria" have an unrestricted right of way over the entrance drive and continuing along the roadway to gain access to the dwelling and outbuildings and also their fields along the eastern side of the aforesaid roadway.
The owners of the landmark TV mast have access along the drive and roadway which passes through the entirety of the farm.
The adjacent telephone mast will be retained in the ownership of the current vendor of the farm and hence a right of way will be reserved for access.
A public footpath passes along the entirety of the main farm drive from the B3297 up to the TV mast and also crosses through the large field on the northern edge of the farm.
A spring in the north east corner of the farm (coloured blue on the plan) together with a small area of land adjacent to the telephone mast was previously owned by South West Water but has since been sold to a private buyer with such rights of access as are necessary.
Services - Mains electricity was previously connected to the farmstead but has not been utilised for some time. Enquiries regarding a new connection or re-connection should be directed to Western Power.
Mains water was previously connected to the farmstead but the supply has been turned off at a water meter which is located in the one of the fields.
Private drainage system to the farmhouse.
