Description

Nestled in the tranquil Ruthern Valley, this Grade II listed farmhouse presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Dating back to the mid-19th century, the property is built from local stone and features a classic slate roof along with original small-paned windows that offer a glimpse into its historic charm. While some modern updates have been made in recent years, including a fitted kitchen and an updated bathroom, much of the interior retains its original character, providing a blank canvas for those looking to enhance its appeal. The layout includes four bedrooms, with three benefiting from built-in wardrobes and lovely views over the surrounding garden and fields. The spacious living areas feature beamed ceilings and traditional fireplaces, creating inviting spaces that can be transformed to meet modern standards while preserving their historical essence. The property's dual aspect rooms allow for natural light to flood in, making them ideal candidates for reimagining as contemporary living spaces or cozy gathering spots. Outside, the extensive grounds span 20 acres of meadows and woodland dotted with mature trees and shrubs. This expansive landscape not only offers privacy but also provides ample opportunity for agricultural or horticultural ventures. The original farmyard houses traditional stone barns that could be restored for various uses—be it additional storage, workshops, or potential conversion into residential units (subject to planning permissions). Location-wise, this farmhouse is situated near the quaint village of Ruthernbridge, characterized by charming traditional architecture along a tributary of the River Camel. Just a short drive away is Wadebridge, where you can find essential amenities such as schools, shops, and sports facilities. Bodmin lies to the east and serves as a key hub for accessing major routes throughout Cornwall. This property offers not only a home but also substantial investment potential—whether through modernization efforts or exploring possibilities within its sprawling land. With careful planning and vision, West Ruthern Farm can become a remarkable residence or an income-generating estate in an idyllic countryside setting.
