Set amidst approximately 11 acres of unspoilt Cornish moorland close to King Arthur's Hall which has been discovered is as old as Stone Henge, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a home where the landscape is as much a feature as the buildings themselves. Approached via a quiet and private setting, the sense of arrival is immediate - vast open skies, rolling moorland stretching into the distance, and a feeling of complete seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. The setting is both dramatic and peaceful, evoking the timeless romance of classic literature and period drama, where the changing light and weather create an ever-evolving backdrop.

At the heart of the property lies a charming three-bedroom stone cottage, full of character and warmth, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the far-reaching views. The cottage offers a welcoming and уют retreat, where traditional features sit comfortably within a home designed for simple, rural living. Every window frames a different perspective of the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the connection between the home and its natural environment.

Beyond the main residence, the property continues to impress with two detached one-bedroom cottages, each offering flexibility and potential. Whether used for extended family, guest accommodation, or as holiday lets, they provide an excellent opportunity to generate income while maintaining privacy from the main house. In addition, a range of traditional stone stables, already benefitting from planning permission, present further scope for conversion, allowing a new owner to shape the property to suit their own vision, subject to the necessary consents.

The land itself is a defining feature, extending to approximately 11 acres of wild moorland, rich in natural beauty and wildlife. It offers endless possibilities for those seeking a lifestyle change - from equestrian use or smallholding to simply enjoying the space, peace and freedom that such a setting affords. The uninterrupted views and open surroundings create a sense of escape, while still being within reach of nearby villages and the wider North Cornwall coastline.

Adding a further layer of interest, the property was once owned by the English singer-songwriter Will Young, giving it a subtle but notable connection to modern cultural history and enhancing its already unique story.

This is far more than a home; it is a place to slow down, to reconnect with nature, and to embrace a way of life that is both inspiring and restorative. Properties of this nature and setting rarely become available, and this represents a truly special opportunity to acquire a piece of Cornwall’s wild and beautiful landscape
