An impressive small country estate comprising an exemplary farmhouse, two holiday cottages, extensive outbuildings and around 14 acres. Superb 4 bedroom, 4 reception room farmhouse. Two high quality cottages. Office. Workshop. Stables. Pasture land.
SITUATION
Located in a tranquil rural postion, Argal Home Farm occupies an enviable setting in one of the most sought after areas in Cornwall.
Situated above Argal Reservoir, known for its coarse fishing and scenic walks, the property is perfectly located for the sailing enthusiast with the scenic harbour and bustling town of Falmouth approximately three miles distant. The town boasts a number of fine sandy beaches and well regarded marine facilities including The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club. A similar distance is the renowned Helford Passage with its many beautiful wooded creeks and access to Falmouth Bay and the fine day sailing waters of the Carrick Roads. Much of the countryside surrounding the north bank of the Helford Estuary is owned by The National Trust and is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with numerous coastal walks.
The Cathedral City of Truro is approximately eleven miles distant and now forms the commercial heart of the county with an excellent range of amenities including a fine array of shops and a selection of private schooling. There is a mainline railway station connecting with London Paddington at Truro whilst further up the north coast at Newquay, the airport offers a number of scheduled domestic and international flights.
The nearby village of Mabe provides a range of local amenities including a shop/post office and public house whilst slightly further afield at Penryn is a large superstore that will cater for most needs. There are golf courses at Budock Vean, Falmouth and Killiow near Truro.
DESCRIPTION
Thought to have originally formed the home farm to the neighbouring Argal Manor, Argal Home Farm translates from the Cornish as 'secluded place or retreat'.
The principal farmhouse boasts handsome exposed stone and granite elevations whilst internally the accommodation is both beautifully proportioned and superbly presented retaining a number of traditional features together with all the comforts of a contemporary lifestyle.
Approached either to a central granite chipped courtyard or alternatively to the separate parking for the cottages, there are a number of attractive stone buildings including 'The Old Granary' and Little Orchard' both of which offer high quality 4* holiday accommodation that produces a useful income.
The outbuildings continue with a large garage/workshop, which may possess potential for alternative uses (subject to all necessary consents), an impressive office and separate stabling.
Immediate gardens surrounding the property are laid to lawn with sun terraces and separate garden areas for the two cottages. Extending to around fourteen acres in total, the grounds continue with three pasture paddocks either generally level or gently sloping with the land to the west of the house enjoying views towards Argal Reservoir. Extending to three sides of the property the fields appear in good heart with a maturing woodland belt to part of the southern boundary.
