SITUATION Approached over a half mile shared driveway, Hendra Barns stands amidst rolling open countryside between the cathedral city of Truro and the rugged north coast. With the A30 around 1.5 miles distant, this is an ideal location from which to explore Cornwall, lying only 9 miles or so from a number of fine surfing beaches including Perranporth, Crantock and Holywell Bay. Other popular local attractions include the National Trust owned Trerice, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project.
The altogether softer south coast is around 15 miles whilst Falmouth offers access to some of the finest day sailing waters in the country and a plethora of maritime facilities.
Truro is approximately 7.5 miles distance, and has an extensive range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities. There are private schools around the City, whilst in the centre, there is a Marks and Spencer store, multi-screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall Theatre. There is a main line railway station in Truro, linking with London Paddington, and Newquay Airport on the north coast, has a number of scheduled domestic and international flights.

ANCILLARY BUILDING & FUNCTION BUILDING Set to the west of the three properties these two substantial buildings have been thoughtfully constructed to blend with the inherent character of the barns.
Garage/Workshop
A single storey building with stone and granite elevations fronting onto an extensive brick paved drive that is shared with the three barn conversions.
The main workshop area has windows, pedestrian door and garage door onto the drive whilst the adjoining garage has a pedestrian door to the side and garage door to the front. To the rear is a room housing the private water supply plant.
Wedding/Celebration Venue
Again, an impressive building that fronts onto the brick paved driveway whilst also having its own independent drive access to a car parking area. Purpose built for weddings and celebrations this superb building has a vaulted oak and glass ceiling in the main light-filled function room which measures around 30' x 25' with broad bi-fold doors opening onto the sun terrace and grounds.

THE GROUNDS Hendra Barns is approached off the shared driveway through a gated, granite posted entrance to a huge brick paved driveway that affords plentiful parking. There is a separate car park with independent access for the celebration venue.
The fabulous grounds extend in total to around 4.2 acres with landscaped swathes of grass overlooked by the wrap-around slate paved sun terrace outside of Hendra Barn. A beautiful hand crafted circular wooden arbour overlooks the lakes and is capable of seating a small wedding party.
