Tucked away within one of the South West’s most prestigious golf resorts, Woolaton Barn is a truly exceptional home — a beautifully restored Grade II Listed barn conversion that effortlessly blends character, craftsmanship and modern luxury in the most stunning surroundings.

Originally dating back to around 1900, this handsome agricultural barn was thoughtfully converted in approximately 1984 by the renowned St Mellion Golf Resort into an exclusive holiday lodge. Fast forward to 2024 and the current owners have undertaken an extraordinary programme of renovation and improvement, creating a home of remarkable quality where no detail has been overlooked.

From the moment you arrive, there is an undeniable sense of calm and privacy. Positioned within a small collection of original period properties on the internationally renowned St Mellion Estate, Woolaton Barn enjoys an enviable setting just a short stroll from the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and the extensive facilities the resort has to offer.

Step inside and the quality of the refurbishment immediately becomes apparent. The accommodation has been designed in a reversed layout to make the very most of the beautiful outlook and natural light, with the impressive first floor living space opening onto a wonderful south-facing balcony — the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.

The spacious living room is both elegant and welcoming, centred around a striking Stovax wood burning stove which brings warmth and atmosphere to the heart of the home. A feature spiral staircase provides a wonderful architectural focal point whilst connecting the two floors beautifully.

The kitchen is quite simply stunning. Designed by Rotpunkt, the German-made kitchen combines sleek matt black cabinetry with full-height wood feature units and luxurious quartz worktops, creating a space that is as practical as it is stylish. A superb range of integrated Samsung appliances includes an induction hob, oven, combination microwave/oven with air fryer and steamer functions, plate warmer, dishwasher, and full-height fridge and freezer, whilst the Quooker boiling water tap adds another touch of everyday luxury.

The flexibility of the accommodation makes this a wonderful home for both family life and entertaining, with four/five bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms alongside an additional cloakroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, with individual room controls ensuring excellent efficiency and comfort year-round, complemented by heated towel rails to all bathrooms.

Behind the scenes, the improvements continue. The barn has been extensively insulated to create an impressively energy-efficient home, including Rockwool and Celotex insulation throughout the walls, floors and loft spaces. Thirteen solar panels with a 5.75kw capacity together with a 10kw battery system further enhance efficiency, alongside an export tariff for surplus electricity generation.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The south-facing balcony with contemporary glass balustrades provides a wonderful extension of the living space, while the detached double garage with electric door offers excellent parking and storage.

Location

Woolaton Barn occupies one of the finest golf resort locations in the South West, nestled within the prestigious St Mellion Estate and surrounded by beautiful rolling Cornish countryside.

The resort itself extends to approximately 450 acres and offers an exceptional lifestyle, with facilities including championship golf courses, luxury hotel accommodation, restaurants, spa facilities, swimming pools and a health club. The internationally acclaimed Jack Nicklaus Signature Course sits just moments away.

Despite its wonderfully peaceful setting, the property remains extremely accessible. The nearby town of Saltash offers an excellent range of shopping and everyday amenities, including Waitrose and a mainline railway station. The stunning Tamar Valley, awarded World Heritage Status in 2006, lies close by, while the vibrant waterfront city of Plymouth is within easy commuting distance, offering extensive shopping, leisure and transport connections, including direct rail services to London Paddington in around three hours and ferry services to France and Northern Spain.

Woolaton Barn is far more than simply a beautiful property — it is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and distinction in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after locations.
