Description
Polkinghorne Barn has been created from a period building retaining many original features including open beams, granite walls and tiled flooring. The ground floor, entered through the hallway accommodates the three bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and the bathroom. The first-floor living dining area is open-plan with vaulted ceiling, enjoying magnificent sea views with doors out to a balcony where steps lead down to the garden. There is a fully fitted kitchen with granite surfaces. Stairs lead up to a further area currently being used as a study. A single storey barn within a courtyard area has been further converted into ‘The Cottage’. It has two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom and fitted kitchen, a sitting room with a sea view. Finally, there is an additional studio with kitchen and shower ideal for home working and/or additional accommodation.
The Location
Gulval is a lovely village set on the outskirts of Penzance, with beautiful beaches and the gateway to some of the most spectacular scenery in West Cornwall including Lands End and St. Micheal’s Mount. The Penzance harbour and the promenade are both charming and interesting, featuring the open-air seawater Jubilee Bathing Pool, one of the country’s last surviving Art Deco examples. The famous Minack Theatre is close by and the picturesque seaside town of St. Ives, approximately 15 minutes drive, is home to the Tate Modern Gallery and a plethora of bars, restaurants and shops. Sea links to the Isles of Scilly are available with a mainline railway link to London Paddington.
Gardens and Grounds
The barns are set in a gravelled courtyard, entered through double wooden gates, which contains raised flower beds. Steps descend to a sun terrace with greenhouse. The extensive grounds of some 3.5 acres are laid to lawn, woodland, wild flower meadowland, an orchard and ponds. It is all absolutely charming. There is ample parking both on the approach road and in the vicinity of the barns.
