GENERAL COMMENTS

Wheal Fortune Farm is a delightful small farm located in a quiet rural setting on the outskirts of the hamlet of Twelveheads. It comprises a large detached house, approximately seven acres of land divided into several small paddocks, lots of outbuildings and the benefit of no near neighbours. The property itself is beautifully presented and has been transformed over the last twenty two years during our clients ownership. It is so much larger and more impressive then immediately apparent from outside, the photographs do not do the property justice. It has been extended substantially and provides spacious family accommodation that is extremely versatile. The accommodation includes; large kitchen/dining room with quality fitted kitchen, granite worktops and high ceilings, three reception rooms and five bedrooms (alternatively four bedrooms if the ground floor rear bedroom is used as another reception). The master bedroom is particularly large and a feature is the superb balcony with fabulous views over the rear garden and fields beyond. The house is versatile and could be split to provide separate annexe accommodation for those purchasers with a dependent relative. Most of the rooms have a pleasant view over the surrounding countryside and the house is notably light. The land is in good heart, laid to mature pasture and is currently grazed. It has several paddocks enclosed within natural hedge boundaries which make it a very interesting smallholding. There are an extensive range of outbuildings including a garage/workshop with inspection pit (easily converted to an annexe/holiday let subject to gaining the necessary consent). Traditional stables and a new open fronted shed has recently been built. The gardens are a sheer delight, being well stocked with many mature shrubs and plants, lots of trees, polytunnel and vegetable patch. On the opposite side of the lane is a further piece of ground where a river meanders along the bottom boundary.
