TrewardrevaConstantine, Falmouth, Cornwall, TR11 5QE

Nestled within rolling countryside between Constantine, Falmouth and the Helford River, Great Carvedras Barns presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully converted two-bedroom granite barn together with a separate building plot benefiting from approved planning permission for a sustainable four-bedroom home, designed by Studio Gather.

Set within approximately 15.3 acres of pastureland, the property enjoys far-reaching rural views and an exceptional sense of peace.

Thoughtfully renovated and reimagined in 2023, the barn blends traditional craftsmanship with a calm, contemporary aesthetic. Constructed from granite and timber, the property is rich in character, with carefully selected reclaimed materials and finely detailed finishes throughout. A striking zinc-roofed entrance porch, complete with WC and utility room, welcomes you into the home, where reclaimed Delabole slate flagstones, substantial granite lintels and timber tongue-and-groove lined walls create an immediate sense of warmth and authenticity.

Inside, the interiors have been designed to feel both refined and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape. Power-floated concrete floors run throughout the ground floor, complemented by reclaimed timber floorboards sourced from a former Gouda cheese factory in Holland. Exposed Douglas fir joinery and beams, finished with a soft lye wash, lend a subtle Scandinavian influence, while lime-plastered walls and carefully framed countryside views enhance the barn’s understated elegance.

At the heart of the home is a bespoke elm kitchen with slate worktops, combining natural textures with timeless craftsmanship. The living space is centred around a Stovax Studio 2 freestanding log burner set upon a bespoke poured concrete plinth, creating a welcoming focal point for the colder months.

Additional features include Rationel Traditional aluminium-clad timber double-glazed windows, reclaimed Delabole slate roof tiles, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, traditional cast-iron radiators to the first floor, and specialist antique solid brass fixtures, fittings, taps and ironmongery throughout.

Approaching the house, a collection of barns is perfectly positioned to take in far-reaching views across the surrounding fields and valley, presenting an exceptional development opportunity. The current owners have carefully explored the site’s potential and secured planning permission for a striking new dwelling designed by local architects Studio Gather.

Inspired by traditional Cornish farmstead architecture and reimagined with a clean contemporary aesthetic, the approved design combines a thoughtfully chosen palette of local stone, Delabole slate, timber cladding and expansive glazing to create a home that sits harmoniously within its landscape. The layout focuses on light-filled open-plan living spaces, celebrating natural materials, practical modern living and beautifully framed countryside views.

Further details of the approved scheme can be found on the Cornwall Council Planning Register under reference PA25/05379.

Together with approximately 15.3 acres of pastureland, Great Carvedras Barns offers a rare blend of beautifully crafted contemporary living and exceptional future potential. Combining the character and warmth of a thoughtfully restored granite barn with approved plans for a striking architect-designed home by Studio Gather, the property presents a unique opportunity to create a distinctive rural retreat deeply connected to the Cornish landscape.
