Summary - The Cart House, Retallack Farm, Tresahor TR11 5PW
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Large rural home with 1.8-acre gardens and modern eco systems.
Over 3,050 sq ft of newly renovated living space
Set in a private 1.8-acre plot near the Helford Valley, The Cart House is a substantial converted granite barn offering over 3,050 sq ft of newly renovated living space. The principal house and an adjoining two-bedroom cottage have been sensitively restored to retain period character while introducing high-spec modern systems — ground source heat pump, MVHR, borehole water and a 22 kW EV charger — reducing running costs and environmental impact.
The house delivers generous, light-filled living with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, polished concrete floors and large Accoya windows that frame valley views. Accommodation includes an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite, two further bedrooms in the main house and a separate two-bedroom cottage, plus a timber studio annexe. Planning permission exists for a second timber-framed building (PA22/02653), increasing development flexibility.
Outdoor space is a major asset: extensive lawns, wildflower meadow, raised beds, shingle courtyards, a hot tub, outdoor shower and a natural swimming pond sit across the sloping gardens. The setting is rural and private yet Constantine village is walkable and Falmouth beaches are about 20 minutes by car, making this a strong lifestyle choice for families or buyers seeking a countryside retreat with coastal access.
Buyers should note a few practical points: broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working; the original granite walls are likely uninsulated; the property is remote and accessed by country lanes. Council Tax is band C and the tenure is freehold.
