Gannols Barn

Description

Gannols Barn is a beautifully presented and extended barn conversion which has been modernised in recent years providing comfortable and generous 3 bed accommodation. The property takes advantage of the light and airy living space whilst retaining the natural features of the barn.

Set in approximately 3 acres, the current owners keep a small head of stock, the property offers a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a beautiful setting.
