Old Boswednack Farm, Zennor

Bos Hen, Old Boswednack Farm, is a unique property surrounded by scenic countryside and brought to the market chain-free. It is a two-bedroom house with a range of high-quality external buildings which could be used in many exciting ways; home working, B&B, room to rent, or multi-generational living.  On the footprint of the original farmhouse for Boswednack, dating back to the 13th Century, the house was renovated in 1986 and carefully improved over time.

The gardens create a beautiful supplement to the property. The extensive lawned areas provide space to enjoy the sun all day long.  A sheltered decking area at the top of the garden is  a superb location for entertaining, with views to the sea and across the surrounding countryside.  The garden is not overlooked and provides a tranquil oasis and a wildlife haven.

The location of the property is equally special situated as it is within an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB).  Within walking distance are the village of Zennor with its pub, church and the centre of many community activities; the village hall.  An equally short stroll westwards on the field path will bring you to the Gurnard’s Head Hotel.   Renowned for its food, the Gurnard’s regularly features in the national media listings for the best pubs/restaurants in the whole of the country.

Positioned close to the road Bos Hen is remarkably quiet but is within easy reach of a regular bus service to the towns of Penzance and St Ives.  Penzance has many independent shops, cafes, private galleries, and pubs.  It is a short ferry ride from the Isles of Scillies and has a direct train link to London and other major cities.

There is an active artists communities in both St Ives and Penzance with a variety of galleries, such as the Tate and the Exhchange.  The current owners use the larger outbuilding, recently renovated to a high standard and with it’s own shower room, as an artists studio.  

The SW Coastal Path is easily accessible by foot from Zennor providing spectacular scenery and fine walks.  To both visitors and locals alike this particular stretch of  coastline is the very epitome of Cornwall  making the opportunity to own a home in this area so very special.

Zennor lies on the North Coast about 6 miles North of Penzance and 4 miles from St Ives. It is situated on the B3306 which is a main bus route and is also on the South West Coast Path. Zennor is a small village set amid fabulous coastal scenery with a Church, popular Pub and Cafe. The well-known Gurnards Head Hotel is also within a short walking distance.
