This historic property, believed to have been constructed in 1824 by a family fleeing the French Revolution, offers a unique blend of charm and potential. Over the years, the estate has been expanded with a cowshed and barn added in 1884, followed by a piggery in 1924. The back of the house features what was once a forge, now repurposed into a conservatory, enhancing the appeal of this distinctive home.
The interior includes a cozy kitchen equipped with an oil-fired ‘Aga’ that also heats the hot water tank. This space flows naturally into a rear porch leading to the conservatory. The spacious lounge/diner spans an impressive 30 feet and retains character features like exposed beams and stone walls. A multi-fuel stove nestled within an inglenook fireplace adds warmth to this inviting room, which also boasts garden access through glazed doors.
Upstairs are four bedrooms along with a bathroom, creating ample living space for families or guests. The layout promotes versatility and comfort.
Nestled among eleven acres of scenic countryside—comprising three fields, a paddock, and woodland—the property holds considerable potential for renovation or new development projects. The existing outbuildings present exciting opportunities; the attached cowshed could be transformed into a self-contained annexe (subject to necessary planning consents), while the piggery is divided into stalls and includes an outdoor WC. A barn and garage with additional room above offer further possibilities for expansion or alternative uses.
Located just outside Constantine, this property benefits from access to local amenities including shops known for specialty items such as malt whiskey, educational institutions from primary school through to forest school offerings, and healthcare services. The picturesque surroundings also provide beautiful walking trails near Constantine Woods and along the Helford River, with the nearest beach just ten minutes away by car.
The extensive grounds not only enhance privacy but also allow plenty of room for outdoor activities or agricultural use if desired. Overall, this property stands out as an investment opportunity ripe for modernization while keeping its historical essence intact.
Please note that plans regarding possible conversions have been drafted by architects, allowing prospective buyers to explore their vision further upon purchase. Existing services include mains electricity and water supply alongside oil heating.
This residence combines historical significance with excellent investment potential ideally suited for those looking to create their dream home or capitalize on its many development opportunities.
