THE PROPERTY

Beacon Hill represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a traditional detached farmhouse set in a remarkable private setting, offering enormous potential for restoration and enhancement. Occupying an elevated position amidst its own land, the property enjoys a sense of seclusion that is seldom found so close to the amenities of Penryn and Falmouth.

The farmhouse extends to over 1,100sq ft and offers versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, plus outbuildings. The existing layout provides excellent scope for reconfiguration to suit a purchaser’s individual requirements, whether as a substantial family home, lifestyle property or smallholding.

The ground floor currently comprises a series of reception rooms and living spaces, centred around the original farmhouse accommodation, together with kitchen and utility areas, all presenting exciting opportunities for modernisation and sympathetic improvement. Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms with the potential for a fourth bedroom or additional study space, enjoying views over the surrounding gardens, fields and woodland.

While requiring comprehensive renovation throughout, the farmhouse retains considerable character and offers buyers the chance to create a truly special country home in a highly desirable location.

Complementing the house are a variety of outbuildings, including garages, stores, sheds and a useful field barn, providing excellent storage and practical facilities for those with equestrian, agricultural, hobby farming or lifestyle interests.

THE LOCATION

Access is gained via College Hill and a private driveway, leading to this hidden rural enclave surrounded by woodland, fields and countryside. The scenic walks of College Reservoir and College Woods are close at hand, offering miles of beautiful walking routes through woodland and around the reservoirs into Penryn.

Penryn, approximately one mile away, provides a comprehensive range of facilities including shops, cafés, schooling, a railway station and local services, whilst the nearby port town of Falmouth, approximately three miles distant, is renowned for its sailing waters, beaches, restaurants, galleries and vibrant cultural scene. 

The area is also well served by highly regarded schools, Penryn Campus and the Universities, together with convenient access to Penryn Business Park, supermarkets and transport links. Despite such accessibility, Beacon Hill offers buyers the rare combination of complete privacy and countryside living, all within minutes of Cornwall’s south coast.
