A unique and fascinating home, steeped in history and enjoying a wonderful sunny position just a short distance from the beautiful beach at Praa Sands. Away from the road, down a drive with electric gate, and sitting in a medieval courtyard adjacent to the landmark Pengersick Castle, built in around 1510. The property on offer here consists of The Shippon, a 3 bedroomed single storey barn, built on the site of the castle’s former banqueting hall and converted into a dwelling in 1999. Castle Croft, a separate two bedroomed conversion of a former piggery which could be enlarged by incorporating the adjoining two car garage, (subject to any necessary consents).

In recent years a new central heating system has been installed and both properties converted to LPG, (gas). The Shippon has been fitted with a quality gloss white kitchen and granite work surfaces and both its bath/shower rooms have been replaced. Outside, the owners enjoy a large sunny walled courtyard, a raised, lawned rear garden accessed via a flight of medieval steps which was formally part of the castle battlement, and a large lawned front garden, setting the property well back from the road, planted with trees and with a stream running through.

This lovely and unusual package is best experienced first hand and we would recommend that all interested parties make contact to arrange a visit.
