This rural, wild escape is an impressive granite barn and part of the ancient Tregothnan Estate. Converted with the utmost attention to detail, it now forms Gare Barn Cottage and Gare Farmhouse, which is occupied by the tenant farmer who grows cereal crops and rears sheep on the surrounding land, with an eye to nature conservation. The property is set in rural, idyllic countryside but just miles from the city of Truro.
The Tregothnan Estate is one of the largest and oldest country estates in Cornwall and produces the only tea grown on the only tea plantation in Britain.
The reversed accommodation provides an en suite double bedroom with French doors leading to the garden on the ground floor, and two further bedrooms which share a well appointed bathroom. Upstairs, the attractive open plan living-room stretches the entire length of the cottage, incorporating generous living, dining and kitchen areas. Impeccably decorated and furnished to highlight the authentic features of the original farm building, much thought has been given to providing every comfort for a perfect holiday. Guests are welcome to enjoy walks around the surrounding farmland. Beautiful sandy beaches at Pendower and Carne are nearby, as are the sailing waters of St Mawes. Falmouth beckons further south, and the Eden Project and Heligan Gardens are a short drive away.
