Believed to have been built in 1816, Polmarkyn Farm sits on the outskirts of Tideford and whilst it has recently been modernised it still retains much of its original character. With over 3,400SqFt of flexible and adaptable accommodation and a self-contained cottage in the grounds, this substantial property could lend itself to a variety of uses (subject to the usual consents), including equestrian centre, guest house and holiday complex as well as multi-generational living.

Of course it could simply be used to provide a beautiful family home.

As part of its restoration the house has been provided with not one, but two well equipped and designed kitchens; the bathrooms have been re-modelled to provide a contemporary “spa” feel; modern wood burning stoves have been installed in the principal receptions and the whole interior has been the subject of sympathetic yet contemporary decoration.

OUTSIDE

Attached to the rear of the house is a useful lean-to currently used as a store. There is also a gardener's loo. The immediate gardens surrounding the house have been laid mainly to lawn with mature borders providing an excellent degree of privacy. Interesting features abound including a stone build dove-house in the rear garden, a stone built shed in the front garden and stone steps leading up to the orchard at the rear of the property.

To the front of the property there is plenty of off-road parking. Passing through an arch separating the main house from the workshop brings one into more parking and storage space adjacent to the rear gardens.

THE COTTAGE
One of the unique selling points for Polmarkyn Farm is its self-contained cottage set just to the rear of the house and overlooking the pretty rear gardens. Briefly the accommodation comprises:-

Sitting Room (4.0x3.0m/13'1x9'10)
Kitchen (4.0x2.4m/13'1x7'10)
Bedroom & En Suite Shower Room (4.6x3.8m/15'1x12'6)

THE WORKSHOP
Set just across from the house there is the large (5.9x4.9m/19'4x16'1) stone built workshop which benefits from power and light. Though currently used as a workshop this room could lend itself to a variety of uses from office to recording studio.

THE STABLES
At the rear of the plot separated from the main house by an informal orchard there is a range of 6 stables and a machine store (5.25x10.90m/17'2x35'9) making Polmarkyn Farm ideal for equestrian pursuits. Set adjacent to the stables there is a 31' static caravan which could be used as additional accommodation, an office, or additional storage.

STONE OUTBUILDINGS
There is a yard surrounded by stone built barns which could accommodate a variety of uses from garaging or stabling through to storage or use as a garden office (subject to the usual consents)

THE PADDOCKS
The house sits on a plot of some 4½ acres. Whilst the gardens, orchard, outbuildings, stables and parking occupy approximately 1 acre the majority of the land is comprised of two paddocks, both to the west of the house. The larger of the two is about 2 ½ acres whilst the smallest is about an acre. From both of these paddocks there are lovely views back towards Landrake.
