| Agents Note | Trewince House is an Edwardian mansion comprising six apartments which were converted in the 1980s. In the post-war years the property was run as a small hotel but much of the landscaping and work that went into creating the gardens was carried out during the 1930s. The Japanese garden and the lower terraces were largely forgotten until the late 1990s when the residents took it upon themselves to restore them to their former glory. The gardens really have to be seen to be appreciated. The Trewince House Management group, run by the joint freeholders, ensures that the house and grounds are maintained to a high standard with a regular gardener employed. The apartment, which is currently occupied as a second home, would make a comfortable permanent dwelling but can also be used for holiday lettings. The property is held on a long lease but is sold with a share of the freehold.
