Situation - Crasken Farm is situated at the head of The Lizard Peninsula just outside the town of Helston which affords a range of local shopping, supermarkets, banking, schooling and recreational facilities and is the home of the annual Furry Dance. Indeed, this historic property is well positioned to access the coastal scenery and beaches of the area, as well as Falmouth and Truro in the east and Penzance in the west.

General Description And Development Potential - Crasken Farm presents a number of historic adjoining stone residences and barns, which exude character and ambience and which will be of interest to developers looking for an opportunity to create a small "hamlet" of most attractive and aesthetically pleasing rural properties situated just outside, but close to, Helston.

Overall the residences and striking range of stone barns extend to over 14,000 sq ft and the appeal and charm of the various residences and traditional buildings are reflected in their status as Grade II Listed Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.

Currently, the residential and annexed accommodation of varying quality of presentation, is spread across the main original farmhouse, Bailiff's Cottage, the annexe and The Tree House - as described further below.

In addition, there are a magnificent range of mainly two storey traditional farm buildings, which in recent times have been used as a café/restaurant, weddings and events space with toilet and shower facilities. It is considered that the traditional buildings offer much potential for conversion to provide a number of additional residential properties - say, five or six additional units (subject to all necessary consents and approvals). The adjoining grounds offer ample space for the creation of car parking facilities and landscaping of gardens/outside space.

The residences and barns are centred around two traditional interconnecting courtyards. There are adjoining grounds, with mature deciduous tree standards, which offer space for the landscaping of gardens/outside space and there is additional space for the creation of car parking facilities.
