Features and description
A smallholding with an attractive farmhouse in need of refurbishment, a range of modern and traditional farm buildings, set within approximately 4.40 acres (1.78 hectares).
Resparveth Farm comprises a five-bedroom farmhouse with views overlooking its own land, as well as a number of agricultural buildings.
The farmhouse is now in need of refurbishment and offers great scope for a purchaser to put their own stamp on the property.
The property lies in a rural location yet is within easy reach of the A390 and A30. The property is sold with the benefit of no onward chain.
For sale by private treaty.
PROPERTY
The property sits in a peaceful setting and is accessed off a minor rural road via a private (shared) concrete driveway.
The farmhouse has an attractive south elevation, overlooking the garden and land beyond. It is well-proportioned, with five bedrooms (three of which are en-suite) to the first floor, as well as a separate bathroom. The property has historically been utilised as a Bed and Breakfast.
To the ground floor the farmhouse comprises: kitchen, large utility room (with separate external door), dining room and two further reception rooms. There are a range of character features throughout, including some traditional slate flagstone flooring, a Cornish range and two fireplaces (one of which has a clome oven).
Outside, there is a south-facing garden of good size, a paddock immediately to the west and part of the field to the south. The land runs down to the railway line, which forms the southern boundary of the property.
LOCATION
The property is located next to a small working farm, in a rural yet convenient setting, just a short drive from the A390. It lies within a one-mile drive of the village of Grampound Road, or if walking on the nearby public footpath, it is less than a kilometre away. The village has a shop/post office, a cricket/social club, and a primary school.
There are several other well serviced villages in close proximity, including Probus which has numerous takeaways, a public house and a farm shop. The village of Tregony is home to the Roseland Academy, which is deemed to be the secondary school of choice for the area, given it has an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating.
The town of St Austell and city of Truro are situated approximately 9 miles to the east and west respectively. They both provide a comprehensive range of leisure and shopping facilities, as well as higher education colleges. Mainline train services with direct routes to London run from both St Austell and Truro, with national and international flights operating out of Newquay Airport, which is a 13.5-mile drive to the north.
With its central location, both Cornish coasts are very accessible, with several beaches on either coast being within a 20-to-30-minute drive of Resparveth Farm. The A30 dual carriageway can be accessed at Fraddon, which is a 12-minute drive from the property and enables easy access to all parts of the county, as well as to the M5 and beyond.
BUILDINGS
To the north of the farmhouse are a range of useful outbuildings and farm buildings.
Immediately adjacent to the farmhouse is an outhouse, a former piggery and a store. There is a three-bay concrete portal frame building which could be used as a workshop or to provide storage. Additionally, there is a three-bay steel portal frame building which is in good condition.
Furthermore, also included in the sale are a range of traditional single-storey barns positioned around a central courtyard.
It is considered that the buildings included in the sale may offer potential to be developed for an alternative use (subject to gaining any necessary planning consents), if desired by the purchaser. We understand that planning consent was historically granted for the conversion of the former piggery/store into two one-bedroom accommodation units. Further information can be found on the Online Planning Register using the following planning reference number: C1/PA23/2156/02/B.
