3 bedroom house

UNEXPECTEDLY REAVAILABLE - LET DOWN AT THE FINAL HOUR - 25 ACRE FARM ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY

Delightfully situated property on the periphery of the built-up environs of Truro and with the farmstead hidden in the centre of the holding approached by its own private lane.

3 bedroom farmhouse for improvement, traditional stone barn, many additional agricultural buildings including covered yards and good productive grassland.

Huge potential for development.

General Remarks And Location - This property is a rarity to the market. Goonvean Farm lies on the periphery of the built-up environs of Truro on the rural fringes of Newbridge and Threemilestone but within an area of countryside that is well wooded and notably unspoiled. The farm is enclosed in a ring fence with a high hedged driveway leading from the county maintained road into the farmstead in the centre of the holding and where there is complete privacy. The farmhouse is a traditional 3 bedroom house now in need of improvement, there is a traditional two-storey barn and many other agricultural buildings including cattle sheds/covered yards and other livestock housing.

The area known as Newbridge lies to the south of the A39 Truro to Redruth road at Highertown and is easily accessed. Whilst very much within the countryside the farm is just over a mile or thereabouts from Truro College, Richard Lander School and Treliske Hospital and also close to a variety of out-of-town outlets including Homebase, The Range, Pets at Home, Currys/PC World, Argos, Pizza Express and McDonalds. Conversely the lanes and countryside leading south from the property are very much unspoiled and undeveloped and are a haven with footpaths for walkers and bridleways for horse-riding.
The north and south cornish coasts are both within easy reach as are the sailing waters of the Fal estuary.

The Farm - Goonvean Farm extends to almost 25 acres or thereabouts. It is a property with enormous scope for development of existing buildings (subject to consents) but it is also ideal for anyone genuinely in need of a small residential farm and wanting to rebuild/remodel the house to provide a prestigious dwelling. There is scope to convert the barn into a holiday letting cottage and keep livestock or use the land for conservation purposes. It is particularly suitable for those wanting an equestrian enterprise.

The property is offered for sale in 2 lots as follows.....
Lot 1 - The farmstead with house, buildings and a total of 11 acres of land (coloured red on the sale plan).
Lot 2 - Two large fields extending to approximately 13.8 acres (coloured blue on the sale plan).

The Farmhouse - This is a traditional building with rendered and painted elevations under a cement fibre and scantle slate roof and with a more recent single storey concrete block extension with a flat felted roof. The house has been basically modernised over the years and whilst perfectly habitable it is likely a new owner will want to upgrade and renovate the property or perhaps even replace the dwelling with a larger family size unit (subject to consent).

The fence shall be to a minimum height of 1.5 metres constructed of tanalised posts at 3 metre centres and with sheep netting and two rows of strained barb wire.

Lot 2. This extends to 13.8 acres and is comprised in two good size rectangular enclosures, both in grass, fairly level or gently sloping and with independent access from the public highway. There is a natural stream and drinking point along the northern boundary.

Whilst offers will be seriously considered independently for these two fields no decision in respect of a sale will take place until Lot 1 has been agreed.
