The Old Barn, St. Ervan

Occupying an enchanting rural setting in the peaceful hamlet of St Ervan, The Old Barn is a substantial and immensely characterful former agricultural building, thoughtfully converted to create an exceptional four-bedroom country home. Accompanied by a detached annexe, purpose-built live/work unit, stables and extensive storage buildings, the property stands within approximately two acres of gardens, grounds and paddock.
Owned by the present vendors since approximately 2002, The Old Barn offers wonderfully individual accommodation arranged across two floors. Its impressive proportions are enriched by exposed stonework, substantial timber beams, flagstone slate and oak flooring, creating a home that feels both authentically Cornish and exceptionally welcoming. The fabulous entrance hallway provides a memorable introduction, immediately revealing the quality and character found throughout the property. The farmhouse kitchen forms the traditional heart of the home, fitted with extensive cabinetry and centred around an electric Aga, with flagstone slate flooring adding warmth and texture. A separate utility room provides valuable practical space, while a ground-floor shower room adds further convenience.
The accommodation includes four generous double bedrooms, with two positioned on the ground floor and two on the first floor. Each bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities, an unusual and highly desirable arrangement well suited to family life, visiting guests or premium holiday accommodation. Oak flooring extends through many of the rooms, including the bedrooms, helping to unify the interior while enhancing its natural warmth.
A private courtyard lies to the rear of the house, enclosed by the attractive stone elevations of the barn and offering a sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front, the driveway opens into a generous turning circle, creating an appealing sense of arrival and providing ample space for numerous vehicles.
Of further significance is the purpose-built two-storey live/work unit, currently arranged with a kitchen, bathroom and office accommodation. This highly adaptable building lends itself to a variety of professional, creative or ancillary uses and may offer potential for conversion into a separate, self-contained dwelling, subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents.
The wider holding extends to approximately two acres and incorporates gardens, grounds and a paddock. Stables and substantial agricultural storage sheds provide extensive facilities for equestrian, commercial, hobby or storage requirements, while solar panels installed across the roofs of the agricultural buildings contribute a valuable renewable-energy feature. These additions further strengthen The Old Barn’s appeal as a versatile rural holding with substantial ancillary accommodation, renewable-energy infrastructure and scope for future development, subject to planning.
