Lower Lidwell Farm Lidwell, Callington, Cornwall

A 16TH Century Listed detached farmhouse with accommodation of up to 6 bedrooms, situated in a delightfully peaceful, rural setting. Guide Price £850,000

The Property The property is a most attractive, traditional period farmhouse with accommodation of up to 6 bedrooms, situated in a delightfully peaceful, rural setting. The residence is constructed of local stone with some sash windows on the front elevations beneath a slate roof. It is believed to date from the 17th Century and is listed as being of Architectural or Historical interest. The house stands at the end of a private driveway, facing mainly South, overlooking the extensive mature and well timbered gardens which are in excess of 1 acre. In recent years the property has been thoroughly renovated and the current owners have carried out further improvements to an exceptional standard since 2007. The residence provides spacious family accommodation of considerable character with many attractive period features. There are slate flagged floors and a granite fireplace which blend with the comforts of modern living including a full fitted Smallbone modern kitchen and luxury bathrooms. It can further be noted that there was planning permission (which has now lapsed) to convert the two detached barns into separate two bedroom holiday cottages.
