The property
The Grange has been sensitively converted and created by an artistic, talented couple as their home in which to live. The former, likely 1840’s, historic barn here was of a rare size and quality and its transformation has been a ‘labour of love’, adapting, designing and sourcing wonderful reclaimed materials to create a very special barn conversion with soul. This is definitely not a conventional or speculative build. There is an immense charm here and parts are of a rustic nature, but for those who ‘get it’, this is a fantastic chance. ‘Living’ space is memorable with the old bull pen forming a wonderful, social family kitchen and dining room with its high ceiling, exposed trusses and natural slate floor. From here a turning staircase leads up to a magnificent 33’ x 23’ triple aspect living room with 12’ ceiling height and old timber floorboards, from where a stable door and gentle steps lead down to the South facing garden. Space is flexible with five bedrooms and a study, three bath/shower/ rooms plus a utility. Outside space at The Grange provides loads of parking and a double garage, together with a gently landscaped and delightful South facing garden with areas of lawn, granite cobble and slate terraces and pathways.
The location
Higher Tregarne Farm is an enclave of five individual homes in a wonderful spot, set in natural Cornish countryside just 1.6 miles from Mawnan Smith village. It is designated part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, near the shores of the Helford River and to the South West Coastal Path, with access to further sandy beaches at Durgan, Swanpool and Falmouth. The Helford River, one of the most beautiful estuaries on Cornwall's south coast, provides glorious scenery, sheltered waters and moorings for boats with easy access to the open sea and Falmouth Bay. Mawnan Smith is a much sought after village situated about 6 miles south of Falmouth and 15 miles from Truro. The village has good local facilities which include a primary school, 14th century church, The Red Lion pub as well as a cafe and a village shop plus a small mixture of individual shops, set around 'The Square', whilst "The Old Smithy", with resident blacksmith, shows local arts and crafts. It is a delightful village with an active community and residents of all ages. Falmouth has an excellent and diverse selection of restaurants and an eclectic mixture of individual shops as well as national chains, together with quality galleries showcasing local talent. Nearby train stations (Falmouth Town and Penmere Halt) provide a convenient link to the mainline at Truro for Exeter and London, Paddington. Falmouth boasts the third largest natural harbour in the world and is renowned for its maritime facilities which offer some of the best boating and sailing opportunities in the country. Falmouth is consistently ranked as one of the top five places to live in the UK.
