It has been a place of warmth, laughter and countless memories shared with our children and grandchildren, who have grown up enjoying everything this beautiful location has to offer. Family visits have often turned into joyous, bustling occasions, with the house and gardens providing plenty of space for everyone to spend time together. The surrounding countryside has provided endless opportunities for adventure, from den building and cycling through the local woods to exploring the trails at Lanhydrock and Cardinham, as well as enjoying dog walks and horse riding. Stable Art has been a favourite place for creative lessons and lunches, while the Gruffalo trails at Cardinham Woods have always been popular with the younger grandchildren. Lanhydrock Golf Club is close by, and we have enjoyed many friendly competitions there with our older grandchildren. Cornwall has also been a wonderful base for the keen surfers in the family, as well as for visiting the Eden Project, the Maritime Museum and the many other attractions the county has to offer. Middle Barton has been the perfect place to entertain friends, with many supper parties and barbecues in the garden. One of the greatest joys has been the remarkable wildlife, including barn owls, deer and the wide variety of birds that make their home here. We have truly embraced everything Middle Barton has to offer and hope that the next owners will enjoy its warmth, space and special setting just as much as we have.
