Description:

Enjoying a beautiful and peaceful rural setting, close to the sought-after village of Perranwell Station and conveniently positioned between the nearby cathedral city of Truro and port of Falmouth, a superb courtyard barn conversion, comprising a well proportioned 3-bedroomed detached barn, together with 1 double bedroomed barn with superb open-plan beamed and vaulted living area, and attached studio barn: all set around an enclosed courtyard providing ample off-road parking, in addition to a large detached garage, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

THE LOCATION
Enjoying a rural position at the head of a privately owned drive, incorporating a bridleway, above the Bissoe Valley, 'Higher Bissoe Barns' is perfectly located for the centre of the nearby village of Perranwell Station (one mile), where excellent day-to-day amenities include a highly regarded county primary school, active village hall, sports clubs, public house, village stores, nursery, church and regular bus and rail services to the nearby cathedral city of Truro and port of Falmouth, approximately five and seven miles distant respectively.

The cathedral city of Truro is the county's legal, administrative, retailing, commercial and educational centre, with the county's best range of private and state schooling. The Hall for Cornwall is the county's main theatre venue, there is a main-line rail link to London (Paddington) and the north coast surfing beaches are within easy reach along the A30 and Atlantic coast road. Falmouth, the gem of the Cornish Riviera', is internationally regarded for its beautiful surrounding coastline, breathtaking coastal walks, sub-tropical gardens, leisure amenities, National Maritime Museum, range of restaurants and quayside bars, art studios and excellent water sports amenities, with the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads), and tree-lined tributaries, widely recognised as providing perhaps the best day-sailing waters in the country.

For those prospective purchasers seeking a fine family home, with income potential if required, within private surrounding gardens, close to excellent amenities, within one of the area's most sought-after districts, we strongly recommend an early viewing appointment is arranged with the vendors' Sole Agents, Laskowski & Company.
THE PROPERTY
Enjoying a beautiful, peaceful and private setting, accessed along a privately owned lane in the ownership of 'Higher Bissoe Barns', and leading to one other property only, incorporating a bridlepath, 'Higher Bissoe Barns' enjoys a rural yet convenient position within a few minutes drive of the centre of the highly sought-after village of Perranwell Station.

Converted approximately seventeen years ago, 'Higher Bissoe Barn's comprises a large courtyard, enclosed with a range of barns and garaging, in the exclusive ownership of the property. The main barn offers well proportioned accommodation throughout, with many characterful and traditional features, with many rooms with exposed timber flooring, exposed stonework, beamed ceiling and timber lintels. From the reception hall, with cloakroom/WC off, a door leads into a spacious and light triple aspect sitting/dining room with magnificent fireplace with exposed stone, timber lintel and inset wood-burning stove, French doors lead from the courtyard and further French doors lead into the conservatory; a family sized kitchen/breakfast room with full range of units with locally sourced granite worktops and door to a particularly useful utility room. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom/WC lead from the first floor galleried landing, with the master bedroom enjoying an en-suite wet room and doors leading onto a decked terrace, which opens onto and overlook the garden.

The annexe barn, detached from the main house, offers superbly proportioned one double bedroomed accommodation, with magnificent open-plan, dual aspect living accommodation with wood-burning stove, dual aspect double bedroom, shower room and separate WC. The annexe barn enjoys a separate and private parking space, not within the courtyard, with the side garden area easily separated off and exclusively used by the annexe - ideal for those looking for a holiday let, requiring separate amenities. Attached to the annexe barn is a studio with mezzanine floor with shower room and walk-in storage - the configuration and layout of theses two barns is such that they can remain as separate units or incorporated into one larger combined unit, if required.

Also found off the large courtyard, is a detached 9.25m x 5.55m garage, currently used as a games room, workshop and for storage, although the roller shutter door is still in situ and could easily revert back to a garage, if preferred.

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped by the current owners, with paths leading through the gardens, including sitting-out terraces and lawns, to a sensory garden with water feature and bridge leading over a pond. Towards the end of the garden is a large timber chalet with cloakroom/WC, beyond which is a small paddock.

All in all, 'Higher Bissoe Barns', in our opinion, offers a superb opportunity to purchase a fine family home with, if required, letting income, in this rural yet highly convenient position.
