A nineteenth -century farm reconfigured like an expanding country house

The property was a farm in operation until the early twentieth century.

The current occupants bought the house in 2012 and added a small wing with living room and a main bedroom with a dressing room and a balcony.
For purchases and services, the premises travel to three miles to the southwest to the largest town of Manyan or North to Tregony, with establishments such as the 16th -century King’s Arms pub. Portholland Beach, surrounded by cliffs, is half a mile east of the house. Cornwall airport, Newquay, with flights throughout Europe, is about 40 minutes to the north.
