The property includes guest accommodation, private owners' quarters, and a separate purpose-built studio currently used as a pottery by renowned ceramicist Paul Cardew. The business has been successfully operated for nearly 20 years and benefits from favourable small business rate relief.

Located in the heart of Cornwall’s “forgotten corner,” Rame Barton is just minutes from the charming coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, with easy access to beaches, walking trails, and transport links including St Germans rail station and ferry connections to Plymouth. The South West Coast Path runs adjacent to the property, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking peace, nature, and coastal adventure.

The guest house offers a mix of en-suite rooms and two fully equipped self-catering apartments, all tastefully refurbished. The separate studio, with light industrial planning permission, is ideal for a variety of commercial uses including a gallery, wedding venue, tearoom, gym, retreat space or continued use as a pottery. The property is well-equipped and includes ample parking for 25+ vehicles, landscaped grounds, and modern infrastructure.

Trade fixtures, fittings, equipment, land, and buildings are included in this leasehold sale, except for the vendor’s private inventory.

Training and a handover period will be provided to ensure a smooth transition. Available for occupation from Spring 2026, this is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a thriving lifestyle business in a spectacular coastal setting.
