Characterful four-bedroom barn with pool and far-reaching countryside views, near Launceston..
4 bedroom inverted barn conversion with large open-plan first-floor living space
Heated indoor swimming pool and separate pump/treatment room (maintenance required)
Grade II listed — alterations may need specialist consent and cause difficulties
Oil-fired central heating; expect higher fuel costs than gas or mains systems
Shared septic tank with neighbouring property; private drainage responsibility
Gated gravel parking area with space for numerous vehicles
Low-maintenance lawned gardens, patio and mature boundary planting for privacy
Fast FTTP broadband and excellent mobile coverage in a remote location
Water Wheel Barn is a spacious, characterful detached barn conversion set in a quiet rural hamlet near Coads Green. The inverted layout places a large open-plan living and kitchen space on the first floor to maximise light and countryside views, while three ground-floor bedrooms (two en-suite) and a leisure room with a heated indoor swimming pool provide flexible family accommodation.
The property benefits from gated parking, low-maintenance lawns and mature boundaries for privacy, plus fast FTTP broadband and excellent mobile signal. Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed, uses oil-fired central heating, and shares a septic tank with a neighbouring property — these factors may restrict some alterations and add running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural tranquility with substantial internal space and unique features rather than those wanting a turn-key modern low-maintenance bungalow. The pool and leisure room are real lifestyle assets but will require ongoing maintenance and servicing. The listed status and location in a remoter community mean any refurbishment or extensions will need specialist advice and listed-building consents.
For families, the nearby primary school and access to Launceston (around 7 miles) make everyday essentials reachable while retaining countryside living. Investors should note the property’s size and specialist features; suitability for lettings may need further checks, particularly over services and listed-building obligations.
