Sellers Insight
"”Middle Barton Farm has been our cherished home for 20 wonderful years. It's been a place of warmth, laughter, and countless memories shared with our children and grandchildren, who have grown up making the most of everything this beautiful location has to offer. At times, life here has felt like a scene from Fawlty Towers, with family visits turning into joyous, bustling occasions!
The surrounding countryside has provided endless opportunities for adventure—whether it's den-building and cycling through the local woods, tackling the challenging trails at Lanhydrock and Cardinham, or enjoying dog walks and horse riding. Stable Art has been a favourite spot, where we've indulged in creative lessons and treated the grandchildren to delicious lunches. For the little ones, the Gruffalo trails at Cardinham Woods have been a constant source of excitement.
Lanhydrock Golf Club is just a stone’s throw away, where we've shared many friendly competitions with our older grandchildren. And for the keen surfers in the family, Cornwall has been an absolute paradise. We’ve also loved exploring the Eden Project, the Maritime Museum, and other local treasures.
Middle Barton has been the perfect place to entertain friends, hosting many supper parties and barbecues in the garden. But perhaps one of the greatest joys has been the remarkable wildlife - we've been fortunate to share this space with barn owls, deer, and an array of birds that make their home here.
We’ve truly embraced everything Middle Barton has to offer and know that whoever steps into this home next will continue to enjoy its magic just as much as we have."
