Nestled within the tranquil and picturesque surroundings, this charming barn conversion offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique home in the heart of Cornwall's stunning countryside. This former stable block has been thoughtfully transformed into a delightful residence that perfectly balances character and modern comfort. Situated between the historic fishing villages of Looe and Polperro, and just a mile or so from the beautiful sandy shores of Talland Bay, this property enjoys a peaceful rural setting surrounded by National Trust land, with captivating views from the gardens across the valley to the sea and coastline beyond.
The conversion, completed in the 1980's, retains a wealth of original features that imbue the property with a distinctive charm. Exposed beams, stone walls, and timber insets create a warm and inviting atmosphere, blending seamlessly with contemporary fittings to offer a home that is both characterful and practical. Spread over two floors, the accommodation is spacious and versatile, ideal for family living or those seeking a countryside retreat.
On the ground floor, you are welcomed into a generous dining room, perfect for entertaining or family meals. An inner hall leads to a rear porch and utility room, providing practical spaces for everyday living. There is also a well-appointed office and a study/bedroom four, offering flexibility for those working from home or requiring additional guest accommodation. A shower room on this level adds convenience for residents and visitors alike.
The kitchen is a particular highlight, fitted with a comprehensive range of units that provide ample storage and workspace. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, while a Leisure range cooker offers excellent cooking facilities, ideal for preparing everything from casual breakfasts to elaborate dinners. A door from the kitchen opens onto a secluded rear courtyard, a perfect spot for al fresco dining or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
The sitting room, located at the front of the property, is a cosy retreat featuring its own stable door that leads directly to the garden. The room centres around a superb fireplace with an inset multi-fuel burner set within a granite surround, creating a welcoming focal point for cooler evenings. The combination of natural light and rustic features makes this a truly special space to unwind.
Ascending to the first floor, the landing provides access to useful storage cupboards and an airing cupboard, as well as all the bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is notably spacious and benefits from dual aspect windows that flood the room with natural light, highlighting the exposed beams overhead. A door leads to a well equipped en suite shower room, adding a touch of luxury and privacy. Two further double bedrooms complete the accommodation on this floor, each offering ample space and character. The family bathroom is a charming room in its own right, featuring a freestanding claw foot bath that invites long, relaxing soaks. The combination of period features and modern fittings ensures this is a practical yet elegant space.
Outside, the property is equally impressive. To the front, two areas of lawn flank a path leading to the front door and covered entrance, creating an inviting approach. Just a few yards away, there is parking for three vehicles, a valuable asset in this rural location. Adjacent to the parking area is a further garden laid to lawn, enclosed by mature boundaries and featuring a delightful summer house. From here, you can enjoy uninterrupted views through the valley to the sea and coastline, a truly breathtaking backdrop that enhances the sense of peace and seclusion.
Hendersick Farm is a unique complex of converted farm buildings, each offering individual homes within this serene rural setting. The combination of countryside tranquillity, proximity to the coast, and the charm of the property itself make this an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a distinctive home in Cornwall.
