Large period farmhouse with pool, two annexes and huge grounds — scope for modernisation.
Indoor heated swimming pool and large reception rooms
Set in a quiet rural hamlet near Newquay, this substantial granite farmhouse sits on a very large plot and offers flexible living for families or multi-generational households. The main house includes generous reception space and an indoor pool, while two self-contained annexes provide long-term guests, home office use, or rental potential. A double garage and landscaped grounds with mature trees complete the estate-like setting.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character in stone walls and cottage styling, but it also shows clear areas for updating. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated, so targeted refurbishment — particularly to insulation and heating — would improve comfort and running costs. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms (described as four/five-bedroom in some listings), so families should note bathroom provision may be limited for larger households.
Practical advantages include fast broadband availability, very low local crime, no flood risk, and sizeable outbuildings that enable parking and storage. Nearby schooling includes at least one Good-rated primary and a secondary with mixed Ofsted outcomes; amenities are rural and require short drives to reach. This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful rural home with substantial space and development potential, as well as investors looking to add value through targeted refurbishment.
