Old Byre House is a former Farmhouse and collection of linked Cob & Stone barns, to include a former Cider press. The original farmhouse is believed to date from 1740. The property has undergone a complete refurbishment in the last few years to include new roofs (felt, battens & tiles), a modern kitchen and new bathrooms whilst retaining its historical character and charm. There are three bedrooms, two reception rooms along with a separate studio and annexe. Set in grounds of around 1.25 acres, there are quite stunning views out across Falmouth Bay to St Mawes and the St Anthony Lighthouse from the upper level.

The House
An open porch with granite pillars leads to the front door which opens in to a double height hallway with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. To the right is a study/office area and the principal bedroom with en suite. Ahead is a stunning split wooden staircase with wooden balustrade: the right-hand stairs lead to two bedrooms and family bathroom and to the left the two reception rooms and kitchen.
At the top of the left-hand staircase overlooking the entrance hallway is the dual aspect large dining hall, with vaulted beamed ceiling and wooden flooring. Windows overlook the front garden with patio doors out to the rear garden. A double doorway opens into the main reception room and a part glazed door to the kitchen. The main reception room is dual aspect with windows overlooking both the back and front gardens, window seat, wooden flooring, a beamed ceiling and a fireplace with granite surround and recessed new wood burner. The recently revamped kitchen has a glass wall with double doors overlooking the rear garden, a separate window with window seat and a part vaulted & beamed ceiling. The kitchen units are Shaker style in matt black with glass fronted wall units, Belfast sink and a central island with oak work surfaces. Built-in appliances include a Neff combination oven and microwave and induction hob, Bosch dishwasher and fridge-freezer. There is also a recessed electric AGA in a striking feature brick wall with extractor fan. A stable door opens on to a covered walkway which leads to the annexe.

At the top of the right-hand side of the staircase is a small landing off which is a corridor leading to two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The first bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with patio doors opening on to a balcony with steps leading down to the garden. The second bedroom is triple aspect and has sea glimpses from the end window. The family bathroom is well appointed with a window overlooking the rear garden, a slipper bath and a separate quadrant shower. The principal bedroom is to the right off the entrance hall, has a painted wood panelled wall, a large walnut triple door wardrobe with central mirror and an en suite shower room. The bedroom has both a window overlooking and door giving access to the front garden.

The Cider Press Studio/Guest Suite
With private access from the front garden to the right of the main entrance, the Cider Press Studio is the perfect self-contained guest suite. The Studio has wooden flooring and benefits from a newly fitted kitchenette which has a Belfast sink, under counter integrated fridge, oven and induction hob, with oak worksurfaces and breakfast bar. An archway opens into a bathroom with both a slipper bath and quadrant shower.

The Annexe

With private access from the rear courtyard, the annexe is currently being used as a music studio. The door opens into the kitchen dining area with a harlequin ceramic tiled floor. The kitchen has dark green Shaker style wall and base units, plumbing for a washing machine, integrated under counter fridge, a built-in oven and hob along with white work surfaces. The shower room has just been refurbished and benefits from a large walk-in shower. There is a part glazed door from the dining area to the living room/bedroom area, which is dual aspect and has patio doors out to the garden.

GARDENS & THE EXTERIOR

Access

There are two entrances to the property. The first through a five-bar wooden gate which opens onto a gravelled area with parking leading to the front of the property. The second double wooden gates, just a few metres further, open onto a large gravelled parking area with ample space for multiple cars.

Front Garden

The front garden gives access to both the front doors of Old Byre House and the Cider Press Studio and is laid to gravel with multiple beds containing a large mix of shrubs, plants, palms and tree ferns.

Side Garden

Perfect for horticulture, located to the left of the parking area in what was an old quarry now used as a produce garden with numerous soft fruit bushes, raised quadrant beds along with a polytunnel. A large Magnolia Grandiflora tree is along the driveway.

Courtyard Garden

Gravelled pathways meander through a mix of tropical planting, palms and tree ferns, towards a covered L shaped walkway which has a hanging grapevine. The walkway links the house to the annexe.

Rear Garden

The area behind the house is mainly laid to lawn with a mix of planting and shrubs with a lower area having two small ponds, a cob seat and a large Gunnera. There is a gravelled terraced area behind the house with a magnificent Magnolia Stellata tree along with a well (with a safety grid).

Former Orchard

Up from the rear garden is what was the old cider apple orchard, which still has some cider apple trees along with cherry and Kea plum trees. The central area is flat and laid to lawn. At the end is a large summer house with raised decking.

Upper Garden

A slope leads up to a wooded area bordered by fields. The spectacular views from here are over Falmouth Bay to St Mawes and St Anthony Lighthouse. A raised deck has been built on the hillside along with another summer house.
