Cornwall Properties is delighted to present this stunning, renovated four-bedroom farmhouse in the heart of Goonbell, St Agnes.
This is an exceptional family home, meticulously updated to blend its original character with high-end modern design. In our opinion, it is one of the most distinctive properties available in the village.
First Impressions
The property features a gravelled parking area for 3 cars and a discrete bin store. To the front, an enclosed courtyard provides a private outdoor space.
Entry is through a vibrant yellow front door into a practical porch with extensive built-in storage. The hallway immediately establishes the home's history with original tessellated floor tiles and intricate plasterwork, complemented by unique scallop-patterned wallpaper that continues up to the landing.
The Heart of the Home
The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a contemporary designer space finished in royal blue with white Quartz worktops and a classic Belfast sink. The kitchen is fully equipped for modern living, featuring a double oven, an integrated fridge-freezer, and a dishwasher. A large central island with an induction hob serves as a focal point for cooking and socialising.
The kitchen and dining area features cream stone tiles with underfloor heating. The space includes a modern wood burner for year-round warmth, a double-glazed sash window with a built-in seat, and bespoke alcove shelving. A separate utility room houses laundry facilities and additional refrigeration, leading to a stylish downstairs W.C. with a clean, seaside-inspired finish.
Living & Versatile Spaces
The sitting room is finished in a bold, contemporary green, balancing grand proportions with original period details. It features parquet flooring and a white scallop fireplace with a second wood burner. A grand plaster archway creates a versatile nook for a piano or reading area, while French doors offer direct access to the garden.
To the rear of the main house is a substantial playroom with a high vaulted ceiling, a striking exposed stone wall, and a central exposed beam. This bright, expansive space features six skylights and underfloor heating. It offers exceptional flow, with bi-fold doors leading to the main garden and a further barn door opening onto a large, private enclosed courtyard. It is suited for use as a home gym, studio, or secondary lounge.
The First Floor
The interior is finished to a high standard throughout, using quality natural materials that allow the farmhouse's original features to stand out.
A turning staircase leads to four bright bedrooms finished with plush cream carpets.
Principal Bedroom:
A spacious retreat featuring a green feature wall, a full wall of built-in wardrobes, and an en-suite with brass fittings and blue-green tiling.
Family Bathroom:
A brand-new, boutique-style bathroom that continues the home's nautical theme. It features a roll-top bath, a walk-in shower with green fish-scale tiles, and a Victorian-style marble vanity.
Additional Bedrooms:
Includes two further generous doubles (one with an en-suite) and a fourth bedroom ideal for a home office.
The Gardens
The rear garden is fully enclosed, offering a safe and private space. It features a large patio area for outdoor dining and a level lawn. A substantial shed provides practical storage for surfboards and outdoor equipment, with convenient side access leading to the front of the property.
Location & Lifestyle
Goonbell offers the perfect balance of village peace and modern convenience. For younger families, the property is within the catchment area of St Agnes Academy and Mount Hawke Academy, both of which are highly regarded local schools. The area is equally well-served for secondary education, with Richard Lander School and The Roseland Academy being popular choices, alongside independent options like Truro School.
The location is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with the iconic Trevaunance Cove and the dramatic South West Coast Path just a short distance away. Nearby Chapel Porth beach offers further opportunities for surfing and coastal walks.
For professionals, the property is perfectly placed for a 10-15 minute commute to the Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) and offers effortless access to the A30. The village is well-served by regular bus links connecting you to Truro and the surrounding coastal villages. Local healthcare is also easily accessible, with St Agnes Surgery and its branch at Mount Hawke just moments away.
