Brea Farmhouse, near Sennen TR19 6

A most impressive and intriguing property, Brea Manor Farmhouse was built in 1634, and sits on the road connecting St Just with Sennen and Land's End. Grade-II listed, this period residence is a versatile home with an exciting history, and is full of period features: mullion windows, granite flagstone flooring, huge granite inglenooks and exposed beams throughout! The property presents owners with a huge variety of options and enviable proportions and space; internally and externally. The main farmhouse is approached via a sweeping circular driveway, surrounded by leafy gardens either side, bringing you to the portico entrance. The ground floor has two very impressive reception rooms; each with grand, granite fireplaces and joined by interconnecting doors. There is a large kitchen with an oil-fired AGA and bespoke cabinetry and built-in storage at one end, with what would have been a very large utility and boot room at the other end. There is a full bathroom also on this floor. The property has been temporarily divided via the interconnecting doors to create two separate living spaces; each being spacious and having separate staircases to the first floor accommodation. The main staircase, takes you up and around, past some mullion windows with granite surrounds to a landing area, off which are two large double bedrooms with timber sash windows. The larger bedroom is vast with wall-to-wall built-in storage. Continuing up off the landing, there is a shower room with access in to the roof space for the property for storage. On the other side of the main property, the second staircase leads up to a further two large double bedrooms; each, again, with period features and all the charm you would expect from a property of this scale. To the rear of the main residence, is an enclosed garden area with seating areas nestled among raised beds and shrubs offering a high level of privacy. The garden leads around to an almost hidden entrance, leading to extremely valuable extra accommodation in the form of a little cottage! Through a good size entrance hallway, and through a set of double doors you arrive in an open plan living and dining room with a kitchenette and breakfast bar; a space that is both bright, and modern but has not lost its charm thanks to double-height ceilings with a small mezzanine gallery area. Upstairs in the cottage, there is a serene bedroom with beams and a Velux rooflight that gives access to the mezzanine gallery overlooking the main living space. The bathroom is to the ground floor.
