POPHAM FARMHOUSE

Convenience in the countryside

Just five miles from Plymouth but very much in the country, Popham Farm is an enchanting 350-year-old four-bedroom house and working farm once owned by King Charles II. Originally forming two cottages of the dairy farm and piggery, this stunning, welcoming home boasts an acre of garden as well as 24 acres of farmland and incredible views of the local landscape. This farm ticks all the boxes for those after a real country lifestyle, with the added convenience of being near a city and less than a 30-minute drive from the stunning Cornish coastline!

A welcoming and comfortable space for entertaining

The entrance hall is bright and light with generous proportions and is carpeted throughout, with stairs leading up to the first floor on the left and dual-aspect windows. Open-plan living invites entertaining in the main aspect living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, brick fireplace surround, soft neutral carpeting and dual aspect windows on both sides. French doors open at the head of the room into the kitchen and dining area.

The impressively large kitchen-diner has original Spanish slate flooring throughout and houses a classic tomato red AGA, with plenty of room for dinner parties and family occasions. There are built-in solid wood kitchen units and a modern hob, providing plenty of kitchen storage and extra cooking facilities. The tiled splashback is designed in pretty terracotta and blues, bringing the whole space into a unified style; this is a relaxed but contemporary country kitchen. An oak beam provides character and a wood-burning stove alcove facing the dining area offers added comfort, while the kitchen island and spotlights give a contemporary feel. There is a particularly spacious utility area, with a sink, spaces for a washer and dryer, and which also works as a second kitchen.

Upstairs is a spacious light landing leading to four substantial bedrooms, two of which are ensuite and one good-sized family bathroom.

Guest stays and additional luxury

A fully complete double bedroom annexe with built-in wardrobes, an open plan sitting room, an immaculate kitchen-diner and a bathroom offer relaxation and retreat for friends and family.

There is also the old stable block now converted into a stunning wooden lodge currently being used as a Garden office. This comes complete with an outdoor BBQ area, kitchen, contemporary shower bathroom and a traditional wood-burning stove. This lodge could easily be a perfect hideaway spot for guests and relatives, but would also make a great holiday let, subject to planning permission.

There are two large working barns with electricity and running water, storage sheds and a poly-tunnel to grow fresh strawberries or whatever takes your fancy! Solar panels provide an annual income and there is plenty of well-developed farmland with tracks already laid with hardcore.

Breath-taking views and wonderful walks

The views across the Cornish hills are expansive and impressive; there are wonderful and differing aspects to enjoy from the garden towards the private woodland, pond, over the lawns and streams, or from the secret BBQ lodge hidden in the woods. Whilst completely private, the garden is a wildlife haven, with regular visits from deer, squirrels and an amazing array of birds. Enjoy unspoilt walks amongst the glorious landscape, surrounded by greenery and woodland – this wonderful home is in a truly magical spot.
