Near Godolphin Cross, Countryside Home Set Within Large Grounds A characterful country home with space to breathe and room to grow, all set in approximately one acre of land.
Tucked between the iconic peaks of Tregonning and Godolphin Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Great Work Farm offers a rare chance to own a substantial period home set within approximately one acre of established gardens and light woodland.
Full of charm and original features, this detached former farmhouse presents a blend of rustic character and exciting potential.
Exposed beams, a classic Aga, and wood burning stoves set in the original fireplace speak to its heritage, while the flexible layout offers four bedrooms, four reception rooms and generous dual aspect living room.
Outside, the grounds are perfect for nature lovers or families seeking outdoor freedom, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and two outbuildings offering scope for workshops, studios or future development (subject to planning).
There is a parking area for four vehicles which is accessed via the drive.
While the property would benefit from updating throughout, its setting, space, and character make it a compelling opportunity to create a truly special home in a peaceful rural location just a short drive from the coast.
