SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: reception hall, dual aspect sitting room, study, open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, utility room, shower room. First Floor: landing, en-suite master bedroom, 4 further bedrooms, second bathroom. Outside: beautiful gardens and grounds of approximately ¾ of an acre along with plentiful driveway parking. DESCRIPTION The property is located in a delightfully tranquil setting about ½ a mile from the sea and is believed to have probably been built between 150 and 200 years ago with a more recent extension blending sympathetically with the original farmhouse. From the parking area a pathway leads through the garden across a wonderful suntrap slated terrace to a covered entrance with granite supports and front door opening to a delightful large reception hall with elegant curving staircase and tall sash window. The sitting room is of a particularly good size, being twin aspect and with a super open fireplace with St Issey granite surrounds. Further doors open from the reception hall to the study and the open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with broad inglenook open fireplace with slate surrounds. To the north west of the house is a utility room and shower room. On the first floor a large landing gives access to an en-suite master bedroom and two further bedrooms. A door opens from bedroom 3 to a rear landing, with a secondary staircase descending down to the dining hall and doors opening to two further good size bedrooms and second bathroom. The gardens present a perfect environment for the family purchaser with children, yet equally, are likely to be of great appeal to the enthusiastic and knowledgeable plantsman and extend, in all to about ¾ of an acre. Opportunities such as Kilter Farmhouse are incredibly rare onto the open market for sale and one could wait a great deal of time for any similar opportunities to become available. As such an immediate inspection is recommended to avoid disappointment. LOCATION Kilter Farmhouse enjoys a wonderfully secluded, tranquil setting close to the charming Lizard Peninsula, fishing cove of Coverack and is approached over a long single track lane off the main road which continues down to the village and is surrounded by fields. This much loved and exceptionally unspoilt part of south Cornwall, offers awe inspiring cliff top walks along the South West Coastal Footpath, idyllic sandy beaches, unspoilt countryside and verdant wooded valleys and glades – it is an area of Cornwall largely

untouched by the passage of time; much of the countryside and coastline hereabouts is owned by the National Trust and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The nearby Helford River and its creeks are of enormous interest to sailing enthusiasts and their world renowned sailing waters ideal for both yachting, power boats and dinghy sailing, Falmouth Bay, the River Fal, Carrick Roads and many of the creeks provide some of the finest day sailing waters anywhere in the United Kingdom. Coverack is a lovely old classic Cornish village offering a good range of amenities catering for most day to day needs including a sub post office and general stores, the Paris Inn, the Bay Hotel and St Peter’s Church. The neighbouring village of St Keverne offers a further good range of village shops, newsagents, butchers, two village inns and a village hall. The market town of Helston, about 11 miles away, offers a wider range of shopping and commercial facilities. There is a primary school at Coverack nearby and secondary schooling at both Mullion and Helston. Kilter Farmhouse enjoys a particularly peaceful setting close to the village and sea, enjoying privacy, but is in no way isolated, as to the south of the farmhouse is the neighbouring converted barn. The surrounding farmland is in the ownership of the Lanarth Estate.
