A substantial Georgian farmhouse set within approximately 1.5 acres of private grounds, close to Porthallow Cove on the Lizard Peninsula. The property combines an elegant principal residence with three holiday letting barns, a further stone barn offering additional potential, and a peaceful setting with no near neighbours.
Approached through some of the most picturesque countryside on the Lizard, the final stretch to the property creates a strong sense of arrival and seclusion. The house occupies an elevated position to the west of the grounds, while the barns are arranged separately within the courtyard to the east, preserving privacy around the main residence.
The farmhouse is a classic double-fronted Georgian home, arranged in traditional fashion with a central entrance hall flanked by the principal reception rooms. The sitting room and dining room are both well proportioned, while to the rear the kitchen has been extended and now opens into a garden room and adjoining breakfast room, creating a generous and sociable family space.
To the eastern side of the house is a large extension currently used as a music room and studio, which we understand was previously arranged as a self-contained annexe. This gives the property excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, home working or creative use.
Upstairs, the house is arranged around a generous landing, ideal as an open study area, and provides three good-sized bedrooms, a smaller fourth bedroom or dressing room, and a family bathroom. The house has been carefully updated, with particular attention paid to retaining original character, including the existing glass within the replacement windows.
The horseshoe-shaped courtyard of stone barns is centred around a large central barn / garage. Two of the holiday cottages occupy the southern side of the courtyard, while Cove View sits on the northern side and enjoys views across neighbouring farmland towards the sea. In addition, there is a further single-storey barn which offers potential for conversion or alternative commercial use, subject to any necessary consents.
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres and provide an attractive setting around the house and barns, with space, privacy and coastal appeal.
The east coast of the Lizard Peninsula is among Cornwall’s most beautiful and unspoilt landscapes, and Porthallow is a particularly attractive small fishing village on this stretch of coast. The beach lies within around ten minutes’ walk of the property and sits directly on the South West Coast Path.
Nearby St Keverne provides day-to-day amenities including shops and pubs, while Coverack offers a granite harbour, beach and further places to eat. The wider peninsula is rich in natural beauty and outdoor opportunities, with Goonhilly, the Helford River, excellent boating, diving, golf and a wealth of coastal walks all within easy reach.
