About this property

Melody Farm & The Emerald offer a fantastic opportunity to purchase an extremely successful and profitable business and family home in a beautiful setting close to both Truro and Falmouth

History -

The main house, originally known as 'Chycowling’ has its first record of ownership in 1565 named as Darrel Stephens. Following this, many documents name a Richard Cowlinge, son of John Cowlinge and also Geoffery Cowlinge as residents. This would most likely be where the name initially came from: 'Chy’ is from the ancient Cornish Celtic language meaning 'house of’ and therefore 'Chycowling’ would mean 'house of the Cowling’. After this, Chycowling was owned by the Earl of Falmouth (the Boscawen family) who also owned the Tregothnan Estate.
