Venton Farmhouse has the benefit of a right of access along a long track from the road. This right of access was granted by the St Aubyn Estate when Venton Farmhouse was originally conveyed from the main estate ownership. The right requires the owner of Venton Farmhouse to contribute to maintenance ‘according to user’.

The field to the north west of Venton Farmhouse is currently occupied under a Farm Business Tenancy Agreement. The tenants have undertaken to surrender the land from their tenancy if the purchaser requires to occupy the land themselves – i.e. vacant possession can be given with regards to this parcel of land upon completion if required. However, if the purchaser wishes to continue with the current arrangement that is certainly possible but they would need to provide the existing tenants with a fresh agreement for that part of the land. This area is shown as hatched in red on the plan (see page 11) and the apportioned rent for this part of the field is currently £159 per annum. There will be a peg at each end of the open boundary (marked A-B on the plan) for identification purposes only. If the buyers wish to erect a physical boundary along A-B, it would be their responsibility with final approval to be agreed with the Estate.

There is a covenant in favour of the National Trust which principally prevents any ‘new’ building or change to the natural appearance of the land (without National Trust consent). Further details can be made available by request to ben.freeman@lillicrapchilcott.com

Ref: LCAA6246 4 LOCATION Venton Farmhouse is situated on the edge of the historic town of Marazion and although within ¼ of a mile of the town centre, it is in a beautiful secluded and peaceful setting with quite dramatic grounds and stunning views out to sea and towards St Michael’s Mount. Marazion has a wide range of facilities adequate for most everyday needs and is renowned for its sandy beaches and excellent sailing facilities. Penzance, approximately 3 miles away, is the largest town in West Cornwall, is a busy port and is well placed for communications, being at the end of the Penzance to Paddington mainline railway (London approximately 5¼ hours) and on the A30. The district of Penwith comprises some of the finest and most dramatic countryside in Britain and has boundless opportunities for outdoor activities, particularly those being water based. In addition, there are wonderful coastal walks and several golf courses nearby, including the West Cornwall at Lelant, Cape Cornwall to the west and the Tehidy Park course. West Cornwall is famous for its cultural activities, St Ives being a centre for artists and the home of Tate St Ives, whilst the Minack cliff top theatre near Porthcurno and the Prussia Cove concerts are nationally renowned.
