Longdowns, Penryn

Fast approaching completion and ready to move into prior to winter!

A superbly converted, well appointed and immaculately finished former barn of beautiful mellow stone and granite elevations under a pitched roof of natural slate, providing light and extremely well-proportioned 3 bedroom, 2 bath/shower room accommodation, with extremely spacious living areas - all featuring vaulted ceilings and windows and doors opening onto sunny, well enclosed and attractively landscaped gardens. Forecourt parking, immense double garage and store, further stone outbuilding; all in a quiet, rural setting, with just 2 neighbouring properties, yet highly convenient for Penryn Campus, the port of Falmouth, Helston and the South Cornish coastline etc.

The Property - 'The Hay Barn' has been meticulously converted by our clients, Burley Construction, who have created a fabulous home within highly traditional, lime-pointed, mellow stone elevations, with granite quoins and slate sills, under an extensive pin roof of natural slate.

Vaulted ceilings feature throughout with exposed roof trusses to the living areas which also feature LED lighting, including under the granite worktops in the kitchen. An Air Source heat pump provides hot water and central heating to radiators throughout. Sealed unit double glazed windows, many of which overlook and open onto the south-facing gardens, further assist 'The Hay Barns' high levels of insulation, with a 5kW wood burning stove providing further heating if required.

There are solid oak internal doors, moulded skirtings and architraves, white sanitary ware and silver/grey marble-effect Fibo panelling to the two bath/shower rooms. A walled front forecourt with block paving and 'up and down' lighters, provides easy and direct access to the accommodation as well as additional parking to an immense attached double garage with electronic up-and-over door and adjacent boiler/storeroom with much space for bikes, garden furniture and recycling etc etc. The rear gardens have been beautifully landscaped and include a split-level Indian sandstone paved terrace, 'balcony', from the living room, level lawn, and direct access to the equally well-converted stone store, with light and power connected, including for an electrical car point if required.

'The Hay Barn' is now rapidly approaching completion and will be ready for the new owner to move into from October/November 2024. An early viewing appointment is therefore unhesitatingly recommended.

The Location - Antertavis is a small, select former farmstead, now comprising just three properties, with 'The Hay Barn' attached on only one 'gable end' to the adjoining property, 'Spring Barn', the conversion of which should be completed during the summer of 2025.

The approach lane, over which there is also a public footpath, is, we understand, in the ownership of the farmhouse, with 'The Hay Barn' having an unrestricted right of access. Repairs and maintenance will be shared on an ad hoc basis by the three owners.

'Antertavis' is situated at the westernmost edge of Antron Hill, which leads from the centre of Mabe Burnthouse, close to the A394 and village of Longdowns. A petrol station (Longdowns) and general stores, public house, church and junior school (Mabe Burnthouse) are all nearby, with the A394 providing direct access to Helston in one direction, and Tremough Campus at Penryn, the port of Falmouth and Truro city in the other.
