Menkee Barn, St Mabyn, PL30

This quite remarkable and glorious barn conversion with annexe and workshop, is blissfully situated within approximately six acres of pristine gardens, grounds and pasture in a beautiful countryside setting just ten miles from the rugged North coast of Cornwall.

On the market for the first time since inception some 20 years ago is Menkee Barns, a glorious barn conversion lovingly and meticulously completed by our clients in 2005.

Part of the ancient and historic Colquite Estate, Menkee Barns began life as a working dairy farm and the original stonework, granite detailing and internal beams form the basis of this striking conversion. Throughout the 4,264 square feet is a sense of elegance and tranquillity with light and space in abundance. The living room, for instance, is over 40 feet in length with a wonderfully high ceiling and gas burner at one end. The staircase and welcoming entrance hall are noteworthy features, as are the hardwood double glazed windows and external doors. We must not forget the study/office, pertinent for today's working culture.

The kitchen has a farmhouse feel, an oil fired Aga within a deep alcove and timber lintel sets the scene. Shaker style cabinets and drawers and a walk in larder just add to the appeal. There is even a separate utility room with cloakroom and interconnecting door to the annexe.

The first floor accommodation has no less than four genuine double bedrooms each with a unique en-suite, one of which has a jack and jill arrangement. The landing is a feature in itself, a tall window framing the front gardens perfectly.

The annexe, known as The Byre, has extremely well presented and comfortable accommodation with two en-suite double bedrooms, an open plan living space, dining area, fully fitted and equipped kitchen and underfloor heating.

The Byre has its own private courtyard garden and a view across the manicured lawns of Menkee. Currently successfully holiday let, The Byre would provide an income or accommodate a dependant relative. Attached to the Byre is a 30 foot studio/workshop with vaulted and beamed ceiling and underfloor heating, a fantastic space with potential for conversion into further accommodation-subject to planning permission of course.

Menkee Barns can be found at the end of a private lane with just one near neighbour. The gardens and grounds extend to almost two acres while the adjacent paddock constitutes approximately four acres of open pasture. The properties sit proudly between swathes of manicured lawn with a huge array of mature and established plants, shrubs and tall trees. There is a large parking area and a detached store/workshop tucked away to one side away from the property.

Services to the property include mains water and electricity, an oil fired central heating system, private drainage and broadband. EPC rating D. Council tax band E.
