The Farmhouse 


The Farmhouse


The attractive period farmhouse (which is not Listed) is full of character with exposed 

beams and stone fireplaces. It has been thoughtfully refurbished over the past ten years 

with the installation of a custom-built kitchen, en suite shower room to the main bedroom, 

hardwood double glazing, central heating and a new roof. The accommodation 

comprises: 

Entrance porch with slate side seats leading to hall with principal staircase. Off this is a 

dining room with stone fireplace, currently being used as an office. On the opposite side 

of the hall is a large sitting room with recessed front-facing window, exposed beams 

and joists and a stone fireplace with slate hearth and wood-burning stove. Running along 

the rear of the house is a kitchen/breakfast room with access to the garden and 

secondary spiral staircase. It has custom built pine cupboards and drawers with granite 

worksurfaces, an inset Belfast sink, built in appliances including dishwasher, slate floor 

in the kitchen area, a larder cupboard and two-oven oil-fired Alpha stove set into the 

original fireplace recess, incorporating boiler for hot water and central heating. Next to 

the kitchen is a lobby leading to outside, a utility room with plumbing for washing 

machine and sink and a cloakroom. 

Upstairs there are five bedrooms including a master bedroom with range of built-in 

wardrobes and en suite shower room, together with a family bathroom. The two rearfacing 

bedrooms have views over the surrounding farmland to the coast.

The Cottages 

There are, in all, six cottages providing an excellent income from holiday letting, although Anna’s Cottage, 

which adjoins the farmhouse, has residential planning permission and would therefore be ideal as a self 

contained annexe for a dependent relative. The cottages are rated 4* by Visit Britain, with both Anna’s 

Cottage and Grain Store having a Gold Award. West Woolley also holds a Green Tourism Business Scheme 

Gold Award. Planning Permission exists for a further holiday cottage adjoining the newly built Shepherds 

Cottage. Four of the cottages were converted from traditional farm buildings, the first in about 2000, and 

provide extremely attractive holiday accommodation with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers. All the 

cottages have central heating. 

ANNA’S COTTAGE: (Sleeps 4). This recently developed cottage adjoins the main farmhouse and provides 

most attractive contemporary accommodation with a good size enclosed private garden to the rear. 

Ground floor: open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. 

First floor: double bedroom with en suite shower room, twin bedroom and bathroom. Views over 

countryside to the sea. 

STABLES: (Sleeps 6). Originally used to house shire horses, this is an impressive conversion with full-height 

vaulted living space with exposed timbering and two mezzanine galleries. It has its own large private garden. 

Ground floor: open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen, double bedroom with en suite shower room, 

twin bedroom and bathroom. 

First floor: separate staircases to galleried sitting room and bedroom. 

PARLOUR: (Sleeps 5). A single storey cottage suitable for those with restricted mobility with vaulted roof 

and exposed timbers. It has an outside sitting area within the attractively planted courtyard.

bedroom with single bed and bunks and en suite bathroom. 

MILL HOUSE: (Sleeps 6). A two-storey cottage overlooking the courtyard having reverse level 

accommodation with the upstairs living space benefiting from the vaulted roof and exposed timbers. To 

the rear is a private courtyard garden. 

Ground floor: slated hallway leading to double bedroom with en suite shower room, twin bedroom, bunk 

bedroom and large family bathroom. 

First floor: sitting room overlooking the courtyard leading to the large farmhouse style kitchen/dining room.

views over the surrounding farmland to the coast. (At the time of printing it has not been rated by Visit 

Britain).

Planning Permission has been granted to construct another cottage matching Shepherds for which 

foundations have already been laid. These are currently covered in shale forming a further area of garden.

THE OUTBUILDINGS: On the approach drive into West Woolley Farm there is a refurbished laundry for 

the use of guests and, opposite, a small stone barn. In front of the farmhouse is car parking for the owners 

with a second drive providing access into the property from the north. Alongside this drive is a 

workshop/store 33’6” x 16’10” and remains of a former block-build barn (hard-standing remains). On the 

opposite side of the farmhouse is an old stone garden store and wooden stable block consisting of two 

loose boxes and tack room. Fronting a concrete yard is a range of farm buildings including former cubicle 

house used as wood store, Atcost open fronted barns with one used for ball games and the other for 

storage/hay, cattle handling area and hay barn. 

THE GROUNDS: The delightful, well maintained gardens and grounds, with their views over the surrounding 

farmland to the sea in the distance, are a feature of the property. The farmhouse has a private garden to 

the rear whilst the cottages have their individual gardens or patios together with a shared courtyard planted 

with shrubs and bamboo. Adjacent to the courtyard is a drop-off area for guests and an under cover bike 

store. Beyond is a large car park with direct access from the lane. The good pastureland, ideal for livestock 

or horses, is served by a third access drive keeping farm traffic away from the cottages. There is a small 

paddock together with field of about 8 acres which is sub-divided into paddocks and larger hay field. The 

total area extends to approximately 10.94 acres (4.43 hectares). 

THE LOCATION: The complex occupies a peaceful setting on the edge of the hamlet of Woolley with 

uninterrupted westerly views over farmland to the sea. It is an excellent trading location within a popular 

holiday area of North Cornwall between the A39 Atlantic Highway and typically rugged stretch of coast 

north of Bude. 

The coast itself is about 3 miles away and can be reached by way of footpaths along the wooded Marsland 

Valley to Marsland Mouth, a small cove lying just south of the better known Welcome Mouth. From the 

property a lane leads to the famous village of Morwenstow with its Norman Church (associated with the 

Rev. R.S. Hawker) and ancient Bush Inn. Four miles away is the village of Kilkhampton which provides good 

local amenities including post office, stores, primary school and church. The popular holiday resort of Bude 

is about 9½ miles to the south providing a wider range of facilities and there are many leisure opportunities 

for visitors including well known surfing beaches, walks along the Bude Canal and coast path and water 

sports on the Tamar Lakes. The A39 provides easy access to many coastal beauty spots and villages within 

both Cornwall and North Devon including Clovelly and Tintagel. The A30 dual-carriageway can be joined 

at either Launceston or Okehampton, linking directly with the M5 at Exeter and providing fast access further 

into Cornwall. 

THE BUSINESS: West Woolley Farm has been successfully operating as a self-catering complex since 

about 2001 following the conversion by previous owners of traditional barns into the first four cottages. 

More recently, Anna’s Cottage and Shepherds have been developed by the current owners who have 

continued a process of refurbishment throughout the site. As a result, all the cottages are rated 4* by Visit 

Britain with Anna’s Cottage and Grain Store having Gold Awards. (Shepherds which was only completed 

in 2012 has yet to be rated). West Woolley has also been awarded a Green Tourism Gold Award. The 

business is promoted through membership of Premier Cottages, Farm Stay UK, Cornish Farm Holidays 

and through the owners own website www.westwoolleyfarm.co.uk. With land and buildings suited to hobby 

farming, West Woolley Farm offers an ideal “lifestyle” business with an excellent return.
