GENERAL COMMENTS

Little Barn is a fabulous single storey detached barn conversion located in a very peaceful setting in the heart of the former Killiow Estate. The setting is most attractive and the barn is one of a handful of traditional stone farm outbuildings that were imaginatively converted by John Crowther in the early 1990s. The barn is beautifully presented and retains much charm and character with high ceilings and exposed roof trusses and a sunny south facing aspect. The sitting room is a very well proportioned room with feature stone fireplace and woodburner. In addition there is a large kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms and shower room. Outside is a beautifully designed enclosed garden with paved terrace proving lots of sitting out space and many interesting shrubs, trees and plants. Across the shared courtyard is parking, garage and store. A short distance away is a most attractive workshop known as the "Gun Room" which has light and power and lots of space for hobbies and additional storage. Little Barn is sold with no chain. An internal viewing is essential.

LOCATION

The location of Little Barn is very special indeed being just over two miles from Truro city centre, in a quiet and picturesque setting within the rural hamlet of Kea. The barn is located in a courtyard setting and is within a short walk of Kea Church. The city of Truro is literally a five minute drive away and is the main commercial and administrative centre of the county and has an excellent range of shopping facilities with many of the national multiples including a flag ship Marks and Spencer store, Waitrose, historic cathedral and excellent private and state schools.
