With its name stemming from the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897, Jubilee Farm is a double fronted three bedroom period residence which offers well-proportioned and versatile family accommodation. Situated on a relatively level plot, the property is likely to appeal to buyers seeking to live the 'good life' through cultivating a smallholding and utilising the land.

Enjoying an elevated position, the residence and land enjoy far reaching rural views in most directions, together with distant coastal views towards the western coast of the Lizard Peninsula and to Dodman Point on the Roseland. On a clear day they are simply magnificent to behold.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a snug, a farmhouse style kitchen with an oil fired Rayburn and a separate dining area, lounge/diner with stone fireplace and wood burning stove (with back boiler), utility room, shower room and an entrance hall and inner hallway. On the first floor are three double bedrooms with stripped wood flooring, a family bathroom with a roll top bath and in the attic, there is a useful office space and further storage area.

Outside the front garden is laid largely to lawn, whilst, to the rear, lies a patio with a sunny aspect and hot tub and small pond. Beyond this lie two pasture fields, a small orchard vegetable patch, owned solar panels and a storage barn. A driveway runs from the front of the property along to the parking area with ample parking for a number of vehicles. The residence benefits from double glazing, oil fired heating and solar panels.

The property boasts much character and charm and benefits from truly stunning countryside views towards Falmouth and out towards Stithians Reservoir. There is parking for several vehicles with an Electric Vehicle Charging Point (one car). Not only does this home offer a substantial number of bedrooms, but it also has the added benefit of just over 1.8 acres of land. A viewing is highly recommended.

Located on the outskirts of Carnkie - a small village close to Stithians Reservoir and approximately two miles to the south west of the village of Stithians, where you will find day to day amenities including a village shop/Post Office, doctor surgery, rugby club, cricket club and local pub, all within an approximate five minute drive. Stithians Reservoir is situated a short drive away and offers a range of water sport activities and lakeside walks to visitors.

The port of Falmouth, which is approximately eight miles distant, has an excellent range of both local and national shopping outlets, commercial and leisure amenities, including safe sandy bathing beaches, the National Maritime Museum, numerous restaurants, sports and sailing clubs; in particular, the marina and Royal Cornwall Yacht Club from which can be enjoyed with the unrivalled day sailing waters of the Fal Estuary which are widely recognised as the best in the country.

The South Cornish coastline with the beautiful South West coast path is within easy reach, as are the northern banks of the unspoilt Helford River. Golf courses are available at Budock Vean, Falmouth and Mullion. The cathedral city of Truro, the administrative and cultural heart of Cornwall, is approximately twelve miles distant and features a golf course, commercial centre with main theatre venue, the Hall for Cornwall and a mainline Railway Station with direct links to London Paddington and the north of England.
