St. Neot

OWNERS INSIGHT:
"Black Tor Barn has been our cherished family home for over 10 years. Set in a truly stunning location within an area of outstanding natural beauty ( AONB ), it enjoys far reaching, breathtaking views across the moors. From the moment you step through the front door, the beauty and tranquility of the moorland landscape are right on your doorstep, offering endless opportunities for walking, exploring and enjoying nature.

Colliford lake and the kerdroya labyrinth are just a 3 minute walk away, while the A30 is less than 2 miles from the property, providing excellent access to the rest of Cornwall and beyond. The picturesque village of St Neot is only a short drive away and offers a welcoming community atmosphere, complete with a cosy village pub, a historic church, village shop and primary school. The major towns of Bodmin, Launceston and Liskeard can all be reached within approximately 15 minutes, while Seaton beach, Millendreath beach and the charming fishing town of Looe are around 25 minutes away.

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. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, all presented in keeping with the overall quality of the home.

Studio Annex
Separate from the main house, the studio annex is a superb addition and has been finished to an equally high standard. With a vaulted ceiling, large areas of glazing, slate style tiled flooring and a log burner, it feels bright, private and beautifully connected to the surrounding views.

The annex also includes a stylish fitted kitchenette with blue shaker style units, timber worktops and copper tone handles, together with a contemporary shower room. This is a highly flexible space, ideal for guests, extended family, home working or creative use.

Step Outside
The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of Black Tor Barn. The plot approaches two thirds of an acre, with a south-facing rear garden, level lawns, stone walling and a wide paved terrace running along the rear of the house. It is an exceptional space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting quietly and taking in the view.

The setting gives the property a real sense of openness, with fields and far reaching moorland views forming part of the everyday outlook. Colliford Lake and the Kerdroya Labyrinth are just a short walk away, placing walking, exploring and nature right on the doorstep. A large gravelled parking area provides ample parking and access to the outbuildings.

Family annex
A substantial newly built family annex sits within the grounds and measures approximately 14.6m x 6.71m. The exterior is finished, with water and electricity connected, and plumbing understood to be in place ready for connection to a septic tank/private drainage system. 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. A further outbuilding, currently used as a studio annex, provides additional utility and storage space, adding even more practicality and flexibility to the overall accommodation.

Black Tor Barn is a rare and beautifully finished home in one of Cornwall’s most striking rural settings. 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.
