" DETACHED CONVERTED BARN IN RURAL SETTING. FURTHER BARN WITH POTENTIAL.

A traditional stone former stable converted approximately twenty five years ago in a quiet rural position enjoying far reaching countryside views.
An attractive building that is now in need of modernisation in places but offering huge potential.
Viewing essential.

The Stables is a very attractive converted barn located in a quiet rural setting between the hamlets of Coombe and Trenowth which is located between Truro and St. Austell. The location is particularly pleasant and ideal for those looking for a country setting yet within easy access of the A390 for quick commuting to Truro, St. Austell and both Cornish coasts. Originally a traditional stone stable the property was purchased by the current owners in 1989 and was then converted in a sensitive way retaining much of its original charm with added features including the addition of a double garage. Modern additions include oil fired central heating which was installed in 2008 although prospective purchasers will want to modernise the property further. There is a very attractive detached traditional stone barn within the grounds which has further potential for conversion which would be ideal for those looking to work from home or possibly even a small annexe/holiday let (subject to gaining necessary planning permission). The gardens are well stocked with mature shrubs and plants and include a couple of garden ponds and there are several sitting out areas from which to enjoy the fabulous views. Attached to the property is a double garage with room for two cars and beyond this is further parking with ample space for storing a boat or caravan if required. The accommodation is extremely versatile and includes three bedrooms, two on the first floor and one downstairs which also has an en-suite bathroom. There is a fitted kitchen, large lounge/dining room with feature fireplace, cloakroom, bathroom

(not in use) and a large conservatory which provides a pleasant sitting space with far reaching rural views. An internal viewing is essential. The hamlet of Coombe lies in the upper reaches of the wooded Fal valley and the immediate area is notably unspoilt and is well regarded for its rolling farmland. There is a good community within Coombe itself and facilities include playing field with tennis courts and a community hall. The nearest village with amenities include Hewaswater, Grampound Road and St. Stephen where there are shops, public houses, primary school and a secondary school at St. Stephen. St. Austell is about four miles and the Cathedral city of Truro is about twelve miles, both have main line railway link to London (Paddington).
