Reached down a private lane, this is a corner of Cornwall for just you and your brood!
Once part of The Bolitho Estate, this 5+ bed property in the village of Sheffield near Penzance sits in the idyllic outreaches of West Cornwall.
The golden sands of Sennen Cove, the arty enclave of St Ives, and the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole will all be within easy reach – should you choose to leave your peaceful rural retreat.
The beaches, restaurants and galleries of St Ives are just some of the attractions nearby… 
In the far west, Sennen Cove is stunning in all seasons…
Approached via a gravel driveway, the property enjoys wrap-around gardens, including a ‘secret garden’ which is perfect for alfresco dining. Surrounded by mature trees and set in peaceful countryside, this is a little corner of Cornwall you’ll have all to yourself…
Morning strolls straight out into this. Bliss!
On the approach to the farmhouse itself you’ll find two of the major attractions of this property – a large studio and a summerhouse. The studio would be perfect for home working generally; there’s plenty of scope for all kinds of use – from artist studio to yoga classes!
Meanwhile the summerhouse would make the perfect small, self-contained annex – it has all the right ingredients to become a haven for friends and family, or offer income potential.

The house itself is a five-bedroom farmhouse and offers a hugely flexible living space for a large family or those who love to entertain plenty of guests. Part of the main building is current set up as an annex or guest wing – perfect for those long-stay guests or a multi-generational family!
All bedrooms are light and airy with countryside views
There’s lots of scope to change the room usage depending on your needs and lifestyle – just take a look at the floor plan!Â
Downstairs we love the large farmhouse kitchen; it has loads of character and lovely views of the front garden. Next door is a light and spacious dining room with an inglenook fireplace currently fitted with a Rayburn.
We love the bright and contemporary feel of this space
On the ground floor you’ll also find a spacious yet cosy living room and a useful study/family room. With original features throughout (exposed beams, slate tiled floors, window seats, granite quoins) this is a property packed with character but also comfort.
Flooded with natural light and currently decorated in neutral tones, despite it’s age the property has a bright contemporary feel.
