GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION
This is a very attractive barn conversion quietly located on the outer edge of the village yet close enough to be accessible on foot to local facilities. It is approached from a minor country road leading off from Veryan Green and one of just a handful of residential properties adjoining unspoiled countryside. The accommodation has generous proportions and boasts 4 bedrooms with the main bedroom having an en-suite shower room in addition to the family bathroom, there is a spacious open plan kitchen and dining room, sitting room, study, cloakroom and utility. The garage leads directly from the utility and the enclosed rear garden is completely private.
Caladrick Barn will be of wide appeal and whilst large enough for family living it would also suit those retired and looking for that special property with a lovely garden and a location to ensure continued protection and privacy.
Veryan is a very attractive and popular village widely known for its picturesque "Roundhouses" believed to have been built in the 19th century by a local clergyman. It lies within an area recognised as being of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within a mile of the sandy beaches of Pendower and Carne. The village is also a thriving community and has a good range of facilities for daily needs including public house, parish church, post office and general store. The village also has a primary school, village hall as well as sports and social club with indoor bowls and tennis court. Other scenic attractions in the nearby vicinity include the harbourside villages of Portloe and Portscatho and there are magnificent walks along the cliffs of the south cornish coast, much of which is owned and protected by the National Trust. The city of Truro with its cathedral and fine shopping centre is about 12 miles away.
THE DWELLING
Caladrick Barn was converted from a substantial range of former farm buildings in 1990 by the present owner who is now looking to downsize and move into the adjacent property. The subject property is semi-detached but comprises the major section of the overall building and both being completely independent of each other. The barn features natural stone elevations with brick window arches and double glazed casements which are dark stained for low maintenance. Internally the accommodation retains its traditional character and with a comprehensive system of oil-fired central heating. Viewing is essential.
