A most attractive traditional Cornish smallholding comprising a three bedroomed farmhouse, various outbuildings and approximately 3.8 acres of gardens and pasture. Currently run as a small poultry farm producing free range eggs, the property is superbly presented and enjoys outstanding rural views. (AOC).

SITUATION
Higher Redwood Farm lies in an area of beautiful and unspoilt countryside in the parish of St. Ive but is only some 6 miles from the market town of Liskeard and a similar distance from Callington. Nestling on the edge of a picturesque and tranquil valley through which the River Lynher flows, the property enjoys a private, though not isolated position, and commands magnificent panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The villages of Pensilva, Golberdon and St. Ive, where you will find the highly regarded Butchers Arms public house, are only a few miles distant through the country lanes. Whilst offering all the benefits of a rural location, the property is ideally placed for convenient access to the rest of the county and beyond. Indeed, the A38 trunk road, which links the M5 at Exeter, lies some 6 miles to the south and connects to the city port of Plymouth within 20 miles. The towns of Liskeard and Callington provide a comprehensive range of retail, leisure and educational facilities, whilst both Plymouth and Liskeard offer access to the main London Paddington rail line. An international airport is located on the outskirts of Exeter. As one would expect, the area offers excellent walking through beautiful unspoilt countryside and gentle riding out along a network of parish lanes.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Higher Redwood Farm is currently run as a productive poultry smallholding and possesses all the attributes of a traditional Cornish farmstead. The main residence has a most pleasing aspect, with mellow stone elevations to the front and cream colour-washed walls to the side and rear. Originally a small derelict cottage, the property has been sensitively renovated and enlarged to create a spacious family home of great charm and character. Despite its humble origins, the farmhouse now offers extremely comfortable and well-appointed accommodation, and is blessed by glorious panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Presented in excellent decorative order throughout, the accommodation comprises three double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs, plus a generously proportioned living room,
farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and utility on the ground floor. Outside, the property features attractive lawned gardens to front and rear, with mature shrub borders and various specimen trees. A south facing sun terrace is accessible from the dining area and boasts spectacular rural views. Double five-bar gates provide entry from the country lane to a generous parking and turning area adjacent to the farmhouse. A farm shop with retail consent is located across the gravelled yard, whilst the poultry sheds are set below and screened from the main residence. Adjacent to the rear garden, with gated access from the parish lane, is a single enclosure of gently sloping pasture containing a further poultry shed. The gardens and land amount to approximately 3.8 acres and enjoy outstanding views over the beautiful rolling landscape beyond.

Note: The property is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Restriction, details of which are available from the agent.
