An exceptional opportunity to purchase a stunning and highly extensive complex of four period residences set amidst 3.26 acres of extremely private grounds within a truly idyllic, rural locale that has long been privately operated as a successful holiday enterprise.
| Description | 'East Trethellan Farm', is quite simply, an enigmatic and utterly exquisite complex of four period properties; set within an idyllic rural hamlet consisting of a small number of residences, just a few miles inland of the South Cornish coastline, a mere stones-throw from Stithians Lake. Offered for sale for the first time in many years, the main house and its three associated, period properties have provided the current owners with not only an exceptional family home and a truly enviable lifestyle but also a significant supporting income.

| . | From a quiet passing lane leading through the charming hamlet, an access gate leads on to a long, gravelled driveway which bisects the majority of the land belonging to the farm and continues on to the complex of four properties arranged in a somewhat disjointed, horseshoe so that each of the properties enjoy a significant degree of privacy from one another. In turn each of the four exudes its own individual charm and character; together with a myriad of period features that allude to the historical purposes of each structure. As such, and given the marvellous location, these four properties have firmly become extremely popular amongst the visiting guests who have craved peace and tranquillity.

| East Trethellan Farmhouse | From a private courtyard, a heavy wooden door, setting the scene for what is to be found beyond, opens through into a panelled inner hall with slate flagstone flooring and a returning stair rising to the first floor. To the left, a stunning breakfast/dining room with granite flagstone flooring, deep-recessed, Georgian sash windows and a stunning inglenook fireplace housing a cast iron log burner and original bread oven leads through to the farmhouse kitchen together with a separate utility and cloakroom. The remainder of the ground floor consists of three double bedrooms and a family bathroom whilst to the first floor; one is greeted by a superb and utterly vast drawing room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, granite fireplaces, a stunning log burner, and five, deep-recessed, Georgian sash windows overlooking the front garden. From the drawing room, a door opens through to a passageway accessing a further bedroom/nursery and the delightful master suite with shower room/wc and 'Velux' skylights.
|
| Trethellan View | The second of the two larger properties, 'Trethellan View', is equally as impressive in stature and style, set at a right-angle to that of the farmhouse, adorned by beautiful climbing honeysuckle. This property, entered via a farmhouse kitchen with vaulted ceiling and 'Velux' skylights, offers three double bedrooms (one with en-suite), and a family bathroom to the ground floor together with a further master bedroom and en-suite to the first floor where there is also a drawing room which is equally as impressive to that of the farmhouse with vaulted ceilings and a dual aspect to both the front and rear gardens. A passageway leading to the master suite from the drawing room also accesses a further cloakroom as well as a stable door that opens out on to a split level rear garden that is completely private to 'Trethellan View', and borders on to open farmland to the rear.
|
| Trethellan Lodge & Cottage | The two remaining properties, 'Trethellan Lodge' and 'Trethellan Cottage', respectively offer an additional one bedroom and a two bedroom, self contained holiday cottage. Both of which are single storey, utterly crammed full of individual character and charm and with their own private gardens they comprehensively complete 'East Trethellan Farms' portfolio of letting cottages by catering for virtually any size of visiting party.
|
| . | In addition, there is a substantial, single storey garage/workshop which has potential, subject to planning, for conversion to a further 3 or 4 bedroom property seamlessly adding to the current complex given the requisite permissions being granted.
|
| . | Externally, the farm offers grounds that extend to approximately 3.26 acres which has been predominantly laid to pasture with a large, fenced animal enclosure that currently accommodates some rather content Alpacas and Ponies together with their associated field shelters. Parts of the grounds consist of varied amounts of indigenous woodland but all is utterly surrounded with unspoilt, absolutely delightful, rural scenery, as far as the eye can see.
|
| Location | Trethellan Water is perhaps a little known hamlet a little North of Stithians and South of Lanner Moor. As such, this charming little hamlet has somehow managed to evade over development, subsequently retaining its character and appeal to those searching for a slightly more relaxed pace of life. Located amidst an unspoilt landscape of undulating hills and farmland, completely off the beaten track, the hamlet boasts a degree of peace and tranquillity that is seldom found in the modern world. This being said, it isn't completely isolated. The county capital and cathedral city of Truro is within 10 miles of the property whilst the major towns of Falmouth and Redruth are within 8 miles and 4 miles, respectively. Each of which offer a comprehensive range of amenities, services, attractions and mainline rail services with Truro acting as the County's centre for education and commerce.
|
| Services | The following services are available at the property: Mains Electricity. Photo-Voltaic panels. Mains Water. Drainage to a Private System. LPG Tank. Oil Tanks. Telephone and Broadband connection. However, as agents, we are unable to verify connection.

| Directions | From Truro, take the A39 toward Falmouth. After approximately 6 miles and upon reaching 'Four Cross' round-a-bout, turn right on to the A393 toward Ponsanooth. Continue through the village and remain on the A393 for approximately three miles passing 'Burncoose Nurseries'. Shortly after which, pass the gated entrance to Burncoose gardens and take the left hand turn 50 metres after. Continue along this lane for approximately 3 miles until you see the hamlet sign for 'Trethellan Water' off to the left. Take this lane and the driveway for East Trethellan Farm may be found on the right hand side after approximately 200 metres.
