THE PROPERTY Originally built in the 1850s, Gilly Vean Farm is located at the end of a long private driveway set within the centre of its own grounds, therefore affording great privacy. The original farmhouse has been extended to join the adjacent traditional buildings and now provides unique and highly versatile 4-bedroomed accommodation with two principal reception rooms, snug, a home office and the potential for an integral annexe. There is extensive stabling and planning consent for conversion. Entering the property through the charming and picturesque courtyard, a glazed entrance lobby leads through to the kitchen with an outlook over the front courtyard, arranged around a central island and includes an electric range within the former fireplace, and through to the main body of the farmhouse. The study and snug lead on to a beautiful sitting room defined by painted beams and an open fireplace with the conservatory leading out to the attractive and mature front gardens. Completing the ground floor a superb vaulted garden room, with a woodburner and French doors to the rear gardens, leads on to an additional study, shower room, hall, and a guest bedroom. This area of the house has the clear potential for the creation of an integral annexe if required. Upstairs there are three charming bedrooms and a family bathroom, all enjoying views over the gardens to the surrounding countryside. A superb home office is situated above the guest bedroom and provides over 31 of highly versatile space with beautiful far reaching westerly views and direct access to the rear decked patio and gardens. LOCAL INFORMATION Gilly Vean Farm lies to the north of Stithians with its pretty reservoir. Within a radius of ten miles are the cathedral city of Truro, the thriving university town of Falmouth, the moorland and rolling tors of Carn Brea and the scenic banks of the River Fal, with some of the finest day-sailing waters in the country.
