General Comments - Higher Goverseth Farm is a perfect smallholding. Tucked away at the end of a long access lane in a private setting yet is within walking distance of the village facilities. It is a package that is so very rare to find in today's market. The property comprises an attractive detached character cottage, substantial range of modern outbuildings, five acres and a traditional stone barn which offers potential for conversion subject to gaining the necessary consent.
The land is divided into four enclosed paddocks and also includes a former sand school that has grown over but could be rescued, so ideal for equestrian use. Previously the large outbuilding included several stables and these could easily be reinstated. The property is in need of further modernisation but offers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a smallholding on the outskirts of a popular village. The cottage itself comprises three bedrooms and shower room on the first floor with kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining room, and utility downstairs. Attached to the cottage is a store/workshop and w.c which is now in need of total refurbishment but could be amalgamated into the main accommodation. At the rear is an enclosed garden that enjoys a sunny aspect. An internal viewing is recommended.

These are supplemented further by the town of St Austell, about 5 miles to the east, where there is a main line railway station to London Paddington. The A30 is approximately six miles away for quick commuting whilst Newquay International Airport is about 11 miles.
