This small development cannot be seen from the roadside until you approach along the driveway to the farm. The driveway opens to a small range of barn conversions, houses and parking surrounded by countryside and farmland providing a very unique and tranquil place to live, in fact, the agent often sees deer in the neighbouring fields and many different species of birds.

The parish of Wendron is made up of a number of small villages nestling amongst expansive countryside yet within relatively short distance to the surrounding towns. The village of Porkellis, about two and a half miles away, provides a range of local amenities including a church and village hall as well as a Public House and the village primary schools of Crowan, Wendron and Halwin are all less than two miles away, whilst the comprehensive college at Helston is about five miles away.  Truro College is served by a regular bus service whilst further education is available at the expanding Tremough University in Penryn.

Although rural in location, Helston Redruth and Falmouth are all easily accessible and provide a wider range of retail outlets, cafes, restaurants and bars.  Good sporting and social activity can be found nearby including the water sports centre at Stithians Lake which is approximately five miles distant.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
