4 bed detached house for sale

Barton, Ponsanooth, Truro TR3

An exceptional country estate set within approximately 12 acres of beautiful grounds, comprising an elegant principal residence, three established courtyard cottages, a further recently updated two-bedroom cottage and a range of useful outbuildings. Cosawes Barton enjoys a wonderfully private setting on the edge of the village of Ponsanooth, while remaining conveniently positioned between Truro and Falmouth.

Surrounded by mature gardens, areas of woodland and paddocks, the estate offers an exceptional sense of peace and seclusion. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains well placed for access to both the north and south Cornish coasts, including the beaches at St Agnes and Godrevy. The site itself has a remarkable history, with habitation recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.

The grounds are a defining feature of Cosawes Barton, providing privacy, space and a beautiful natural backdrop to the house and cottages. The gardens and wider estate have also made the property a popular setting for weddings and special events.

The three courtyard cottages were previously operated very successfully as holiday accommodation, achieving the prestigious 5-Star Gold Award standard. They are currently let on a permanent basis, although they remain ideally suited to a variety of uses including holiday letting, multi-generational living or long-term rental income.

The principal residence is an elegant and characterful home positioned to face the gardens and set apart from the cottages, ensuring a high degree of privacy. A broad entrance hallway creates an immediate sense of space, with the sitting room and dining room positioned on either side, both featuring period fireplaces - one with an open fire and the other with a wood-burning stove.

Beyond lies the kitchen with its central island, alongside an impressive vaulted breakfast room with a mezzanine level above, providing an excellent space for a study, library or workspace.

The staircase rises to a generous landing leading to the principal bedroom suite, which enjoys attractive views across the grounds. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms served by a stylish family bathroom.

Cosawes Barton offers a rare opportunity to acquire a historic country home in a beautiful Cornish setting, combined with established and versatile secondary accommodation within an attractive and private estate.
