St Ewe, nr Heligan

Lying near the end of a farm track in a shallow wooded valley, with just a few other properties and a vineyard, not far from the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Lower Barn really is a feast for the eyes.

Over some 30 years, the current owners have created a truly unique collection of exquisite buildings, with the four bedroom barn complimented by the additional guest and entertaining spaces in the colourful mediterranean-style gardens and grounds. In recent years they they have generated a healthy income from B&B, holiday-letting and also as an intimate wedding venue in recent years.

The main property has been created from a split-level stone barn, providing four bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms and a large sitting-dining room with a separate kitchen in the centre of the property. Adjoining this is the two-storey Hay Loft which is currently laid out with two double bedrooms - both with en suite 'wet' shower rooms. We feel this could work well as a self-contained annexe if desired, or alternatively could perhaps be utilised to make the main property larger if desired (subject to planning).

Across the gardens, and finished with wonderful style and attention to detail, the 'Nook' and 'Cranny' are two adjoining holiday-letting cottages, each approached through its own private walled courtyard complete with hot tub. Inside, both offer a double bedroom, luxury bath/shower room and kitchen-living area. The Nook also has its own sauna in the courtyard, while The Cranny has a woodburner in the sitting area. Close to the Nook & Cranny is a split-level entertainment area with inside/outside bar areas, woodburner and games/sitting room.

At the bottom of the garden is a wonderful timber-built 'Hideaway' with covered porch, spacious double bedroom and en suite bathroom. In the far corner of the meadow and on the other side of a small orchard and raised beds there is a large detached timber summer house providing stylish and quirky additional accommodation with an expansive wrap-around deck, living area with a log burner, daybed, kitchen and shower room. In addition, there is a useful range of outbuildings separating the living areas from the meadow., including plant room, workshop, stores, laundry and log store. The gardens are also a colourful treat with various terraces, decks and lawned areas sub-divided by trees, shrubs, flowerbeds and walling. A little over a mile away, the world famous Lost Gardens of Heligan, once part of the Tremayne Estate, offer 200 acres of exquisite gardens and grounds to explore and there is also an on-site bakery as well as the renowned Lobbs farm shop. The nearest village is St.Ewe while Tregony, as the 'gateway to the Roseland Peninsula', has a secondary school, pub, two churches and a community centre. A coastline rich in heritage offering some magnificent beaches including Pentewan just three and a half miles away provides ample opportunities for exploration and discovery, with the John Nash designed Caerhays Castle, beach and extensive gardens five miles to the south of the property. The popular and idyllic Portholland beach is located a mile to the west of Caerhays.
