PROPERTY
Churchtown Farm is a wonderfully untouched and historic farm, positioned in a peaceful and secluded village edge location.
Seemingly unaffected by the modern world, the farm provides a fantastic opportunity to sensitively enhance the farmhouse and extensive range of buildings, which are surrounded by land forming part of the farm. The ever-present and pretty church tower, the second tallest in Cornwall, seemingly stands guard over the farm with its battlements, turrets and pinnacles.
No public rights of way run over the property.
LOCATION
Churchtown Farm is located in south-east Cornwall, a mile from the B3257 as it runs from the A30, 5 miles to the north, to Callington, 4 miles to the south. From Callington the A388 leads to Saltash and the city of Plymouth, a major regional conurbation with all services, facilities and opportunities one would expect, located 20 miles from the farm. The Cornish market towns of Launceston and Liskeard are within 10 miles, with the historic and popular market town of Tavistock, located at the foothills of Dartmoor with its range of independent shops and well-respected private schooling, a 30 minute drive through the picturesque countryside of the Cornwall/Devon border. Both Truro and Exeter are a one hour drive from the property.
The proximity of the A30 allows easy and quick access up and down the county to many other towns, villages and destinations that Cornwall and Devon has to offer, the wilds of Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor being as easy to reach as the coastal villages of Polperro, Talland Bay and Looe or the Rame Peninsula on the south Cornish coast.
Mainline train services run from Liskeard and Plymouth, as well as minor stations closer by, direct to Exeter, Bristol and London, including a sleeper train. National and international flights run from Newquay and Exeter, 40 and 65 minutes’ drive from the property respectively.
FARMHOUSE & BUILDINGS
Churchtown Farmhouse is an attractive, non-listed, traditional 6-bedroom farmhouse, facing towards the church tower and village, centrally located within the buildings.
Accessed by a pretty timber gateway, visitors are drawn down the gravel pathway that runs through mature gardens, with a host of traditional spring flowing plants, mature shrubs and trees, towards the symmetrical front elevation. A substantial front door leads into a central hallway with two reception rooms, farmhouse kitchen/dining room, utility room, stores and WC on the ground floor. The house has been untouched for many decades, with many historical and traditional features remaining, such as wooden panel walls, patterned floor tiles and parquet flooring, slate pantry shelving and stained glass mullioned windows. The main staircase leads to a landing area from which three bedrooms overlook the front elevation, a rear hallway accessing the remaining bedrooms, bathroom and secondary rear staircase.
To the rear, the yard area leads to a farmyard, currently used as the primary vehicular access and parking, surrounded by the former dairy/parlour traditional stone barn, open-sided pole barn and more modern garaging.
Below, and adjacent to, the farmhouse is a second significant stone barn with beautiful timber roof trusses, which forms part of a lower farmyard area. This secondary yard is accessed via a separate track through impressive granite gateposts and could easily form a secondary or principal entranceway to the property or lower yard individually.
Two fields, totalling 5.73 acres, surround the house and buildings and are accessed by the rear driveway. A separate allotment garden of approximately 0.14 acres in size is accessed via a pedestrian gateway directly opposite the current vehicular farm entrance.
There are a number of additional single storey traditional buildings dotted around the yard and garden, all of which combine to provide an ideal opportunity for sensitive development to enhance, fully utilise and protect the special atmosphere the farm currently creates, any renovation plans being assisted by its non-listed status.
