The south east Cornwall coastline with beaches at Whitsands is some nine miles distant and the north Cornwall coast is only 40 miles away.
THE PROPERTY Trewint Farmhouse is an impressive former working farmhouse, now a spacious and characterful family home offering adaptable accommodation with origins dating back to the 1700's. The property has been well looked after and maintained and the grounds landscaped with a grass tennis court, lych gate pedestrian entrance, stocked fish pond, specimen trees and shrubs and an orchard. The farmhouse retains much of its original character with impressive features such as an original Columbian cast iron cooking range and bread oven located in the breakfast room. The large productive timber framed greenhouse is thought to originate from the 1950's and has a mature grape vine and fig tree. The site is set within hedges/stone walls with three separate vehicular gated entrances. The double garage has planning permission with potential for conversion into an annexe, holiday cottage or home office/studio.
