Seller insight
The thing we liked most about living in Mena Barn was the tranquillity of the place. Sitting outside in the courtyard with a cold glass of beer admiring and appreciating the views looking out into our fields, which are often filled with rabbits hopping up and down our beautiful winding drive which is adorned with colourful daffodils and primroses in the spring. The squirrels are often seen running up and down the mature trees that line the drive. The pheasants roaming around and the beautiful deer and their young parading up and down the fields. The birds and wildlife are in abundance. The convenience of the A30 without the noise of the traffic meaning Newquay and Truro are only a short drive away by car, or if you need a train Bodmin Parkway is only 15 minutes away. We also have a new community centre in Lanivet along with a village pub, fish and chip shop and Spar shop. There is also a beautiful church and a school. All this is right on our doorstep. Lanhydrock House, Lanyhdrock Golf Club, The Camel Trail, Bodmin Jail and various beaches are all within easy reach. We have enjoyed our time here with our friendly neighbours (who are always willing to help out) and anyone who lives at Mena will enjoy a happy and healthy lifestyle.

A door provides access to the rear garden for convenience, a useful pantry and an adjacent ground floor shower room /wc which is convenient when spending time in the garden.

Step outside

Externally, Mena Barn is approached by electric double entrance gates which open into the long sweeping private driveway that meanders its way through the grounds and up to the drive. There is ample off-road parking/ turning for many cars and space for caravans, boats, horse boxes etc. At the side of the driveway is the front garden which is a real feature being colourful and planted with a number of shrubs, bushes and plants. There is an attractive gravelled path and a gravelled seating area which is perfect for outside dining during the warmer months, from this position far reaching south facing views can be enjoyed in complete privacy. At the rear of the barn is a further lawned area of garden that is enclosed and mature, and features a summer house. There are raised vegetable beds and a gravelled path that leads to the side - where a lawned drive provides access to another entrance at the rear that can be used if necessary. The suitability of Mena Barn to be used for equestrian purposes is demonstrated by the concrete stable block comprising of loose boxes. The stables have been used for other purposes including a salon, gymnasium, wood store and general store. At the side is a building which was used for tack. Our clients have erected two large purpose-built stores and workshop which both have power and light.
