Offering striking views across a sheltered valley towards the Atlantic Ocean, this property is ideally situated for those who appreciate both natural beauty and accessibility. Within a short drive, you'll find renowned beaches such as Widemouth Bay and Sandymouth, famous for their surfing opportunities and vibrant beach culture.

The main residence, Waterstone House, has been thoughtfully restored from its origins as a 15th-century farmstead. While it retains its historical features like oak trusses and beams, it also presents an opportunity for further customization or expansion to suit your vision. The inviting dining hall serves as a central hub for the home, with adjoining rooms including a kitchen equipped with a designer handmade setup and access to an outdoor terrace perfect for entertaining.
In addition to Waterstone House, the property includes multiple dwellings—such as The Wishbone, Wonnacott, Still House, Tinker, The Old Granary & Lofty—that present flexible living arrangements or potential rental income. Each outbuilding has been designed with comfort in mind while retaining character; for example, Tinker features unique showman wagons and an underground layout that adds to its appeal.
The extensive grounds cover approximately 7.44 acres and offer both manicured gardens and wild areas teeming with wildlife. This diverse landscape includes wildflower meadows and ponds that attract various species like otters and ducks. There's significant scope here not only for personal enjoyment but also for potential development or enhancement—additional accommodations could be created in existing structures (subject to necessary consents), maximizing profitability in this desirable location.
With useful outbuildings that include garages and workshops alongside mature grounds featuring ancient oak trees and scenic views extending down towards Widemouth Bay, this property represents a compelling opportunity for those looking to invest in a unique piece of Cornish countryside while capitalizing on its considerable renovation possibilities.
