A versatile and diverse lifestyle farm, with generously proportioned main farmhouse accommodation, extensive range of further dwellings and holiday lets, farm yard with potential and 109.36 acres in all. Available in up to 5 lots
Situation - Bolitho Barton enjoys a peaceful, rural position with a gentle southerly aspect and far reaching views to the south, with distant views of the sea on a clear day. The Farmhouse lies just to the south the residential properties within Lot 2, set back about 500m from the road. Both Lots 1 and 2 are accessed separately with the farmhouse enjoying a long private drive through its own land.
The nearby village of Praze-an-Beeble (2.5 miles) offers a good range of local amenities, including a Pre-school and Primary School, both judged “Good” by Ofsted, a popular public house, a fish and chip shop, bakery, village shop & Post Office and a doctor’s surgery.
The market town of Helston is just 5.5 mile to the south and offers a range of shopping facilities and supermarkets as well as secondary school education. The Cathedral City of Truro and the Port
of Falmouth offer a more extensive range of facilities with Truro being the county’s administrative,
retailing and commercial centre with a mainline rail link to London Paddington. Newquay Airport
provides daily scheduled flights to domestic and international destinations.
There are numerous tourist attractions within easy reach and many of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall lie within a short drive, including Gunwalloe, Poldhu, Kennack Sands, Mullion Cove, Loe Bar, Kynance Cove, Praa Sands and Porthleven. Stithians Lake Water Sports Centre is just 5.5 miles away and access to the A30, which provides a dual carriageway link with the M5 at Exeter is at Camborne.
Introduction - Bolitho Barton lies within a ringfence, accessed over two 500m long driveways, This former dairy farm is now offered for sale as a whole or in up to 5 lots and is likely to appeal to a diverse range of buyers. The lotting is not set in stone and residential purchasers wanting more land will try to be accommodated. The farmhouse has obvious appeal for lifestyle buyers wanting a rural home, overlooking its own land and beyond. The holiday lets will attract those looking for a diversified income stream, together with those perhaps looking to exploit further potential in the farm buildings. The croft land will attract those more interested in wildlife, conservation and perhaps history, whilst the main block of land will appeal to livestock farmers, perhaps investors, and maybe a lifestyle buyer, also wanting to control all the land around them, with the associated tax advantages that come with buying agricultural property.
Lot 1 - Bolitho Barton Farmhouse is a generously proportioned stone dwelling under a tiled roof (extending to approximately 3,800 sq ft GIA). It offers flexible accommodation having in the past been occupied as a 3 bedroom house with an annexe at either end. More recently it has been modernised and has a number of features including slate floors, a wood burner, a practical modern kitchen and an impressive first floor sitting room which enjoys far reaching panoramic views.
The accommodation is shown on the attached floorplan, but briefly comprises:
An entrance conservatory/boot room leads into the dining room with doors leading to all the main ground floor areas and stairs rising to the first floor.
The modern style kitchen is fitted with wall and floor mounted units with ample work surfaces over and a practical island unit with fitted ceramic hob. There is a ‘range style’ STOVES cooker with bottled gas hob and extract hood above. Off the kitchen is a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier and eternal access via a lobby that also serves the annexe. Off the dining room is a living room which is currently used as a home/farm office and leads into the large, main conservatory which enjoys an attractive outlook over the rear garden and beyond and has doors leading out to a sun terrace.
A hallway, off the dining room leads to two generous sized double bedrooms (one has a door leading into the garden), and a family bathroom with bath, wash hand basin and WC. This area has the flexibility to be used for a dependant relative.
A second staircase, with an under-stairs cupboard, leads to the impressive first floor sitting room, which enjoys wonderful panoramic views on three aspects and has a Juliet balcony and a solid fuel wood burner. Also, on the first floor is a master bedroom with ensuite shower room and two further bedrooms and two family bathrooms.
Annexe - Accessed through a lobby that can also be shared by the Farmhouse, the annexe has an open plan kitchen/living/dining room and a conservatory on the ground floor with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.
Outside - The dwelling lies almost in the middle of its garden with large, established lawned gardens to the south and a considerable gravelled parking and turning area to the north, with a double garage which also houses the borehole plant and filter equipment. Both the farmhouse and the annexe conservatories open out onto two private sun terraces. The land is comprised within 3 fields thatrun alongside the full 500m long concrete driveway.
Lot 2 - Situated just to the north of the Farmhouse, down a long driveway, a courtyard of 5 barns have been converted into a generously proportioned 3/4 bedroom managers unit and 2 single storey 1 bedroom holiday lets and 2 two storey 3 bedroom lets, (extending to just over 4,040 sq ft GIA in all).
The adjacent farmyard offers potential for a range of uses including equestrian, further holiday lets and perhaps full residential dwellings, obviously subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The adjoining field that contained the former slurry pit is included and offers potential to be landscaped into an attractive lake.
The Managers Unit was a former piggery building and has been very successfully converted to a comfortable dwelling with a spacious split level, open plan kitchen and living area, with a light and airy feel, with exposed timber floors and elevated ceilings with exposed roof trusses.
The accommodation is shown on the attached floorplan, but briefly comprises:
Front door into large utility room, leading into a large fully equipped Kitchen/Dining area, with 3 steps down to the Living Room which has a wood burner and a door into the conservatory which leads out into the garden. Off the kitchen is a large double bedroom that is also ideally suited to use as the business’s office. A corridor leads to a master bedroom (also with garden access) and an ensuite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room, and a family bathroom.
Outside - A private garden with sitting area, lawn and pond, all enclosed by a close boarded fence with established shrubs bordering it, lies between the barn and the courtyard. To the side is a double garage with power and a roller shutter door.
Holiday Lets - Two pairs of semi-detached stone barn conversions under slate roofs surround an attractive courtyard and retain many character features including, slate and timber floors and exposed timbers and granite fireplaces. Each cottage has a modern kitchen. It is intended to include all the fittings, fixtures and furniture. The two smaller cottages have private rear gardens. The business has been established for many years and is almost fully booked for this summer. (Listed with cottages.com). A fifth barn which currently serves as a games room, has an expired consent for a fifth holiday let. The adjacent former milking parlour also appears to have potential for conversion to an additional holiday let if desired, (STP).

The land is enclosed within practical sized and shaped fields, bordered by generally stockproof Cornish hedges providing good shade and shelter.

Lot 5 - A convenient sized pasture field with generous road frontage and enclosed by stockproof Cornish hedges providing good shade, shelter and privacy.
