This “elegant” country home for sale has a “wealth” of character and is hundreds of years old. 

Stenhill Farm, in North Petherwin, is Grade II listed and dates back to the late 16th century, sitting in more than three and a half acres of land. 

The property is a stone and cob building with a rag slated roof, and is large enough for multi-generational living or a bed and breakfast. 

There are character features throughout the home, including beamed ceilings, open fireplaces, and deep window sills with window seats. 

Entering the property, the hallway leads into a formal dining room with a stone fireplace and wooden lintel. 

Beyond this is a farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room with a handmade centre island and an AGA cooker, which sits in a stone recess. 

The lounge includes a stone fireplace with a clome oven, ceiling beams that are believed to have come from ship’s timbers. 

Off the lounge is a music room which is believed to have originally been the dairy, and leads into a conservatory, while completing the ground floor is a study, a utility room and a WC. 

Upstairs, the master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.

There are a further two en-suite bedrooms on this level, while on the galleried landing are two more bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. 

Outside, the grounds include a paved patio, a gazebo, a decked seating area, and an organic wild garden area. 

There are also various lawns and wooded areas, and a paddock with a selection of fruit trees, plus a treehouse and a pond. 

The property is for sale with Fine & Country for a price of £950,000.

The agent commented: “This exquisite and elegant detached country residence dating back to the late 16th century is nestled in a tucked away yet accessible location in the heart of the north Cornish countryside.”
