BlislandBodmin, Cornwall, PL30 4QY

The property is situated in a south facing, traffic-free location, tucked away from view and well away from the humdrum of every day life. Commanding a wonderful setting with glorious rural and wooded views towards the Camel Valley and Shell Woods, this is every bit the Cornish retreat.

Understood to originate from around 1560 and having undergone a thorough yet incredibly sympathetic scheme of renovation, modernisation and extension works since 2013 overseen by a Truro-based architect, Penrose Farm now perfectly blends originality, charm and character with contemporary flourishes, dressed and finished in a classic style with nature very much at its heart.

The accommodation is generous, elegant and unique. The ground floor includes a beautifully appointed family kitchen with flagstone granite floors, six oven Aga, a central island and window seat. Directly opposite is the snug with its woodburner. Leading off the kitchen is the modern extension which blends in perfectly with the original external stone and slate. Bi fold doors open out to the garden and the room enjoys the most wonderful west facing valley views.

The separate sitting room is defined by the original ceiling moldings and this charming room leads to the library, which serves as a link to the games / family room with its double height vaulted ceiling and adjacent TV room. In addition there is a wonderful conservatory, utility room, boot room, shower, WC and cellar.

There are three bedrooms and family bathroom arranged across the first floor, with the master bedroom suite comprising a dressing room, bedroom and sumptuous en suite bathroom with centrally positioned roll top bath. The ‘hidden' bathroom situated above bedroom 3 enables each bedroom on the middle floor to have its own bathroom. There are two further bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor, perfect as a children's hideaway.

The natural light throughout the property and charming outlook from the vast majority of the accommodation adds to the huge appeal at Penrose.

Gardens & grounds

The gardens, grounds and land extend to around 14 acres. The gardens are mature, well tended and provide plenty of areas in which to relax, dine, play and explore with the heated pool and pavilion (games room, changing room and WC) finishing the outside space perfectly.

A very sheltered south facing garden with a broad terrace across the main façade of the property communicates perfectly with the conservatory. An arched gateway leads through a wall to the west facing terrace outside the dining room, the perfect spot in which to enjoy the afternoon sun and views.

The lawned gardens extend to the south and east of the property with further far reaching views and there is a wildlife pond with areas of woodland in the lower section. To the east, there is a field adjoining the garden and the to the western side of Penrose there are three fields (including two paddocks) and a small copse.

All in all, the most idyllic country lifestyle and so conveniently situated.
