If you are looking for a property with tranquillity, a rural location with stunning views across unspoiled countryside and just a few miles to the beach and spectacular North Cornish coast, yet easily accessible to the facilities of nearby towns such as Bude, Launceston and Plymouth, then The White Barn could be just for you.

Originally a farm building and was converted some thirty years ago and is a spacious residence, The White Barn has a dining and living area of some 38’ long. The property has been lovingly looked after and maintained and had the benefit of a new roof in 2012.

Set in its own attractive gardens and grounds of some quarter of an acre it is approached across the gravelled parking area with ample parking and a purpose built car port for two vehicles. The garden is laid to lawn with some vegetable areas and an undoubted feature is the absolutely superb summerhouse. The summerhouse sits with its patio at the higher end of this beautiful garden with uninterrupted views for several miles down through the valley, where you can see nothing but rolling farm countryside. Sitting here of a summer’s evening will be just magical.
