Mena Barn, Lanivet, PL30 5HW

Mena Barn is a secluded equestrian residence, approached via a long, sweeping tree-lined avenue that offers both grandeur and privacy.

The property spans over 10 acres and includes five stables, ample workshop space, and a variety of additional outbuildings.

The Property This detached four-bedroom barn, thoughtfully converted in the late 1990s, has been meticulously maintained to balance heritage and modern living.

Noteworthy character elements such as the commanding stone fireplace, granite quoins, exposed timber beams, and slate window cills highlight its agricultural origins.

While preserving its traditional charm, the home is contemporary and functional, presenting a warm home that is ready for immediate occupation.

On entering the property on the ground floor there is a spacious family dining area, featuring tiled flooring and a discreet study nook beneath the staircase.

The family kitchen is thoughtfully designed with cream cabinetry, granite-effect worktops, integrated appliances; including a Rangemaster dual-fuel oven and dishwasher as well as a central island.

A slate floor extends into the adjoining utility/boot room, housing the modern oil-fired boiler, pantry, and a convenient ground-floor shower room with WC, providing practical access to the rear garden.

The living spaces are generous: The sitting room boasts a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a solid multi-fuel burner, complemented by slate tiles.

Adjacent, a versatile garden room offering direct access to the patio grants potential as a home office or hobby space.

Upstairs, the property is anchored by a distinctive galleried landing that enhances the sense of space.

The principal suite includes a private en-suite shower and WC, alongside a generous walk-in dressing room that discreetly houses the solar panel system.

Three additional bedrooms benefit from expansive views overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside.

The family bathroom is fully tiled and appointed with contemporary fixtures, including a vanity with integrated lighting and a mirrored shaver socket.

The exterior is truly the defining feature of this property, offering an immediate sense of prestige.

A sweeping quarter-km driveway gracefully curves through 2.38 acres of pasture, creating a grand and private approach few can rival.

This impressive entrance is framed by a stately avenue of mature trees, interspersed with period-style lamp posts that add subtle character.

Beyond the entrance lies an additional expanse of approximately 7.5 acres of land, providing both space and a natural habitat for local deer. This vast setting would also be suitable for equestrians.

The land offers nutrient-rich pasture divided into three paddocks, ideal for rotational grazing.

The gently sloping terrain provides safe footing and varied riding opportunities, all enclosed by secure fencing.

With good access to nearby moorland riding and ample stable space, the land perfectly meets equestrian needs. The south-facing land could also be great for horticultural use or hobby farming.

A selection of purpose-built outbuildings add significant versatility to the property.

To the rear, a detached unit offers approximately 25m2 of internal space: Well suited for storage, a studio, or use as a dedicated workspace.

Adjacent to the stabling is a 26m2 workshop, offering excellent practical utility with scope for future conversion (subject to the relevant planning consents), whether as an annexe, holiday let, studio, or home office.

Both structures were constructed by the current owners and benefit from mains power.

Currently operating as a beauty salon, Outbuilding 3 has been thoughtfully converted to a high standard and presents a turnkey opportunity for a home-based business or private studio.

Immaculately presented throughout, the space is fully serviced with both water and power, and finished to a professional specification.

Whether continued as a beauty salon, or reverted back to stabling use, there is potential here for enterprise.

The front garden is a notable feature, well-planted with a range of mature shrubs and structural greenery.

A gravel path leads to a level seating area, positioned to take advantage of far-reaching, south-facing views and is private for outdoor dining.

At the rear, the enclosed lawned garden includes a summer house and raised vegetable beds, with a gravel path extending to the side of the property.

A secondary access point, via a gated drive, provides additional convenience.
