Benbole Farm is a ring‑fenced smallholding of about 15.2 acres on the edge of St Teath, offering two separate three‑bed dwellings, extensive outbuildings and far‑reaching countryside views with the coast within about 2 miles. The principal farmhouse is a substantial granite property dating from the early 1800s with high ceilings, slate floors, inglenook fireplaces and a large master suite with dressing room and Juliette balcony. The converted barn annexe provides a self‑contained three‑bed unit arranged to maximise the views.
The site includes a single‑storey barn (lapsed planning PA17/08020 for a one‑bed holiday let), a large insulated pole barn with workshop, stables (seven boxes with power and light) and multiple stores — offering clear potential for equestrian use, small‑scale enterprise or an income stream subject to consents. Heating is via a wood‑pellet biomass boiler (connected to a government payback scheme until c.2035), and the single‑storey barn already has central heating installed.
Practical considerations: mains electricity and mains water are connected but primary water is from a borehole; drainage is private to a septic tank serving both dwellings. EPCs are mixed (Farmhouse F, Barn D) and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so energy upgrades and insulation will likely be needed. There is a public footpath crossing the entrance drive and fields — useful for access to the coast but important for privacy expectations.
This holding will suit buyers seeking multi‑generational living, hobby farming or rural diversification. It combines immediate liveability with clear scope for improvement, planning opportunity and income generation, but buyers should budget for energy upgrades, septic/drainage enquiries and any reinstatement of lapsed permissions.
