Black Tor Barn has been an exceptional family home, filled with treasured memories of family gatherings and celebrations. Some of our happiest memories have been spent enjoying croquet and bowls on the lawn, while the grandchildrens favourite activity has been the slip-and-slide in the summer months. These fun filled days often ended with everyone gathering around the outside dining table on the expansive patio, accessed through the bi fold and French doors, to enjoy long relaxed meals together. Christmas at Black Tor Barn has always been particularly magical. Family members would gather in the open plan kitchen and snug, sharing the cooking while watching the grandchildren play with their new toys and games from Santa. All the while, the log burner crackled warmly in the background, creating the perfect setting for memorable family celebrations. Black Tor Barn has given us countless happy memories and we hope its next owners will enjoy it just as much as we have. Black Tor Barn occupies a truly memorable position near St Neot, set within a protected moorland landscape and enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside towards Colliford Lake and the surrounding moors. Beautifully renovated and finished with real care, the property combines the character of a traditional stone barn with a smart contemporary interior, generous grounds, a high-quality studio annexe and a substantial newly built outbuilding with further potential. The property has been a cherished family home for over 10 years and offers that rare balance of peace, privacy and accessibility. From the moment you arrive, the setting does much of the talking, with open skies, rolling moorland and the lake close by, while the A30 is less than two miles away, giving excellent access across Cornwall and beyond. Step Inside The main house extends to approximately 1,642 sq ft and has been thoughtfully renovated to create a warm, stylish and highly comfortable home. The finish throughout is particularly impressive, with oak internal doors, an oak staircase, slate style tiled flooring and underfloor heating giving the ground floor a strong sense of quality. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted with shaker style cabinetry, integrated appliances, a central island and breakfast seating. The kitchen has a clean, modern country feel and flows naturally through to the living spaces, making it both practical for daily life and well suited to entertaining. One of the standout rooms is the vaulted sitting room, where exposed oak beams, recessed display niches and a log burner create a superb focal point. Glazed doors open directly onto the broad terrace and frame the open moorland views beyond, giving the room a wonderful connection with the landscape. There is also a generous sitting/dining room, again with tiled flooring, underfloor heating and doors opening towards the outside. This gives the house flexible living space, whether for family gatherings, relaxed evenings or more formal entertaining. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite shower room.

Internally, the building is watertight and ready for stud walls and finishing. This offers excellent scope for a variety of uses, including a home office, studio, workshop or hobbies room, while also lending itself particularly well to multi-generational living. With approved planning permission already in place for a family annex, it provides the potential for relatives to enjoy independence and privacy while remaining close to the main household.

With its moorland views, south-facing gardens, high-quality studio annex and substantial family annex with further potential, it offers a wonderful combination of lifestyle, flexibility and practicality.

Sellers Insight Higher Penstroda has been our home now for several happy years. During our first two or three years, the east and west sections of the building were constructed along with the garage. The original farm house was demolished and all of two bats were moved to their new penthouse accommodation in part of the roof space in the garage. Together we have landscaped the garden which is now thriving with shrubs and plants. It is with great sadness that we find ourselves in a position where leaving our lovely home and returning to family in Sussex, is a must. The surrounding area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, never ceases to amaze us how the dramatic landscape changes as the seasons move through the year. We have enjoyed the stunning views in all directions, to beyond Bodmin, the rugged coastline of North Cornwall and of course the Moor. The peace and atmospheric conditions of our immediate area will be sorely missed. Our small hamlet of four properties, two very old and two very new, have gelled and blended well. The neighbours have been a pleasure to become acquainted with, and whilst we may not see one another for weeks or even months, it is reassuring to know we are always there to help each other if required. Many times we have visited our nearest village of Blisland, either on foot with the dogs or by car. The village has a thriving community boasting an attractive village green, a super quirky pub, an historic old church and a community run shop. All within walking distance of one another. The Primary school lies in the smaller village of Waterloo. Some of our most enjoyable times have been with visiting family and friends. Times when we have been able to share the joys of our beautiful large family house and garden. When on our own, peace and tranquility abound, moments when we just listen to the sounds of nature. All this we leave behind and hope the owners will be as happy as we've been. Step Inside Constructed primarily using ICF (Insulated Concrete Form), this home achieves an excellent B-rated EPC and occupies the site of a former dwelling, now thoughtfully replaced. The current owners had significant input into the design and have enjoyed living here for the several years. This luxurious three-storey property is expertly positioned to take full advantage of its far-reaching views across Bodmin Moor and the surrounding countryside. Entry begins via a porch leading into a vestibule with sliding doors that open into the main residence. The principal living accommodation is found on the first floor—an open-plan layout that encourages sociability and seamless flow. The premium kitchen, finished in light grey tones, includes sleek cabinetry with tall larder units, a central island with breakfast bar seating, and durable Dekton work surfaces with matching upstands. A Belfast sink, under-cabinet lighting, and a combination of recessed and pendant lights enhance the space. Appliances included in the sale are a Rangemaster electric oven with gas hob and extractor, Neff dishwasher, freestanding fridge, and microwave. The kitchen transitions smoothly into a spacious dining area, while the dual-aspect living space features a high-output wood burner set on a slate and brick hearth. Double sliding doors lead to a spectacular sunroom, offering uninterrupted views over the gardens and moorland, with balconies at either end—ideal for enjoying warm, sunny days. Additional rooms on this floor include a well-appointed office with built-in shelving, a cloakroom/WC, and a utility room finished to the same high standard as the kitchen. The utility comes equipped with a Samsung freezer, Bosch tumble dryer, and Gorenje washing machine. A secondary staircase descends from here to a practical storage room. Bedroom accommodation is split across the second and ground floors. The upper floor features two large double bedrooms with roof and traditional windows, both enjoying stunning views. A shared or optional en suite shower room and WC serves this level. On the ground floor, three generous double bedrooms all benefit from en suite facilities. The principal suite is notably spacious, complete with high-quality built-in furniture, direct access to the garden, and a luxurious en suite bathroom with both bathtub and walk-in shower. A second utility area on the ground floor houses components of the central heating and vacuum systems, and provides access to the plant room. This space contains the main electrical control systems, including the inverter and Tesla Powerwall (13.5 kWh capacity). The home is served by a mechanical ventilation, heat recovery system with exhaust heat pump. The property has solid wood interior doors, and laminated flooring. There is matching sanitaryware (including bidets) throughout the bath and shower rooms. Water and drainage systems are private—eliminating South West Water charges. * Further details regarding the heating system will be available from the owners by arrangement on viewing. Step Outside Approached via motorised security gates with smartphone-connected audio entry, the long private driveway offers extensive parking and turning space. The detached double garage features an electric roller door, power, lighting, a side access door, and a mezzanine level for additional storage. The gardens at Higher Penstroda are a true highlight, lovingly established by the current owners to provide vibrant, year-round colour. With a variety of shrubs, perennials, and young trees, the outdoor space is both tranquil and impressive. A paved and tiled patio occupies the footprint of the former dwelling and serves as a peaceful vantage point to admire the spectacular views. A shed and a pathway lead to the largest of the enclosures, located to the southeast. This gently sloping, securely fenced field is perfect for livestock or equestrian use. Large granite boulders, unearthed during the home’s construction, have been thoughtfully incorporated into the landscape design.

OWNERS INSIGHT: What we have loved most about living here is the wonderful combination of location, peace and convenience. Set on the edge of Bodmin Moor, we are surrounded by beautiful open countryside and far-reaching views, yet are very close to the picturesque village of Blisland, with its beautiful central green, popular CAMRA-listed pub and historic Norman church. We have never tired of the changing scenery, from spectacular sunrises to beautiful sunsets, and there is always something to enjoy, from the abundant wildlife to the changing seasons. Despite the wonderfully peaceful setting, we are also within easy reach of Bodmin and the A30, making it surprisingly convenient for everyday life and exploring Cornwall. The heart of our home has always been the large family kitchen and spacious lounge, particularly on cosy evenings with the woodburner lit. They are rooms that have been perfect for family life, entertaining and simply enjoying time together. One of the things that makes the property particularly special is its versatility. The adjoining annexe and two additional cottages offer an incredible range of possibilities, whether for extended or multi-generational family living, accommodating guests, creating home offices or studios, or providing long-term or holiday letting opportunities. It is this combination of character, space, flexibility and an exceptional countryside setting that has made it such a wonderful home for us. We feel incredibly fortunate to have lived here and to have created so many happy memories. Although we are now ready to downsize and begin our next chapter, leaving will be bittersweet. We hope that the next custodians of this very special property will appreciate its unique character, beautiful setting and wonderful sense of peace, and make the most of all the opportunities it offers, creating as many happy memories here as we have. Set within the Cornish countryside close to the popular village of Blisland, Trepenal Barn is an impressive five-bedroom detached barn conversion offering generous family accommodation, attractive gardens and far-reaching rural views. Adding considerably to its appeal are three separate additional units, Trepenal Cottage, Trepenal Lodge and Trepenal Annexe, providing a rare degree of flexibility alongside the principal residence. Whether used for letting, extended family, visiting guests or a combination of uses, they form an important part of what makes this such an unusual and versatile property. Step Inside The main house has been thoughtfully converted to retain much of the character associated with a traditional Cornish barn, with exposed stonework, substantial walls, timber beams and well-proportioned rooms. At the heart of the home is a generous kitchen/dining room, creating a natural everyday gathering space with ample room for family dining and entertaining. The reception accommodation is equally comfortable, with a spacious sitting room enjoying views towards the gardens and surrounding countryside. The scale of the accommodation works particularly well for family life, providing sociable areas alongside quieter spaces in which to retreat. The principal residence provides five bedrooms, making this an excellent home for a larger family or those who regularly welcome guests. Throughout, the character of the original building sits comfortably alongside the practical requirements of modern living. Additional Accommodation A particularly important feature of Trepenal Barn is the versatility provided by its three additional units. Trepenal Annexe adjoins the principal residence and provides self-contained one-bedroom accommodation. Its proximity to the main house makes it especially suitable for extended family or guests, while retaining the independence required for letting purposes. Separate from the main house are Trepenal Cottage and Trepenal Lodge, providing further one and two-bedroom accommodation respectively. Together, the three units create excellent scope for holiday or longer-term letting, while also lending themselves to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a blend of private and income-producing use. Importantly, the additional properties complement rather than dominate the main house. The result is a substantial country home with a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Step Outside Trepenal Barn is approached along a private lane, opening onto a broad gravelled parking area with space for numerous vehicles and convenient access to the principal house and additional accommodation. The gardens form an attractive setting for the buildings, with generous areas of lawn, mature planting and a choice of places from which to sit and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Decked and paved seating areas provide natural extensions to the living accommodation during the warmer months, while the open outlook across neighbouring farmland gives the property a genuine feeling of space. The grounds also include a summer house and substantial timber storage shed. Beyond the main garden is a further yard area, discreetly screened by timber fencing, which may offer scope for alternative uses or possible plot, subject to any necessary planning permission and other consents. The arrangement of the buildings and gardens allows the principal residence and additional accommodation to retain a degree of independence, particularly useful where the letting units are occupied by guests, relatives or tenants. Far-reaching countryside views provide a wonderful backdrop and reinforce the property's rural character. The Annexe EPC: E The Cottage EPC: E The Lodge EPC: E
