We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This substantial four-bedroom detached farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful rural home offering significant scope for enhancement.
The property is complemented by a range of barns and outbuildings, possibly suitable for conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents), making it particularly appealing to those seeking multi-generational living, income potential, or additional residential uses.
The farmhouse offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and retains many original features typical of a property of this nature, while providing ample opportunity for modernisation and personalisation to suit individual tastes.
The property is set within approximately six acres of land, offering a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in this highly desirable area of West Cornwall.
The land is predominantly overgrown at present, but once cleared would appear ideal for equestrian use, smallholding, or simply enjoying a peaceful and picturesque countryside setting.
The barns are conveniently located close to the farmhouse while retaining their own identity, with potential for conversion or alternative uses, subject to the appropriate consents.
The hamlet of Sithney itself has a church and primary school.
More extensive amenities can be found in the nearby town of Helston with national stores, cinema, sports centre, with indoor swimming pool, and both primary and secondary schooling.
The coastal town of Porthleven is a short drive away and has many public houses, shops and restaurants nestling around its picturesque historic harbour.
National rail links connecting to London Paddington can be found in the town of Penzance.

AGENTS NOTE Not a dispute as such but a neighbour suggested the soakaway to the property wasn't efficient enough and as such an agreement was reached whereby the neighbour purchased part of the adjacent field from the owner on the basis that the neighbour would replace the soakaway.
This has been legally transferred but the neighbour died and to date there is a breach of covenant and without the neighbour's personal representatives dealing with the covenant/soakaway, the neighbour's property could suffer from flooding at times due to insufficient soakaway.
SERVICES Mains water and electricity and private drainage.
