Location
Set amid the stunning, undulating countryside of southeast Cornwall, Trenodden occupies a wonderfully private setting that was carefully chosen in the 17th Century by the original builders of the house.
The sought after village of Menheniot is just 1 mile west with shop, pub, primary school and church whilst the main A38 artery is 3 miles away offering fast access east to Plymouth and west into Cornwall.
Close by, the glorious run of coastline that lies between the Fowey Estuary and Rame Head is quite rightly designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers memorable sandy beaches, breathtaking cliff top walks and pretty fishing ports.
Belying the favoured setting of the farm, the dramatic granite strewn tors of Bodmin Moor lie a little to the north offering 80 square miles of open walking and riding.
General Description
Approached over a gorgeous tree-lined avenue, Trenodden is a highly productive arable and pasture farm with, at its heart, a most attractive farmstead, fronted by an eye-catching Georgian farmhouse which enjoys lovely views over formal gardens, pond and parkland gardens.
To the rear of the house are a courtyard of 6 residential letting cottages, beyond which are a range of traditional and more modern farm buildings that could be adapted to a variety of uses.
Lotting
Trenodden Farm is offered as a whole or in the following 2 lots:
Lot 1
Trenodden Farm
4 bedroom Georgian farmhouse, 6 residential cottages offering 1, 2 and 3 bedroom accommodation, farmyard with traditional and modern farm buildings, pond, walled, formal and parkland gardens.
Surrounded by arable and pasture land with amenity woodland. In all approximately 91� acres.
The Farmhouse
Approached over a delightful tree-lined entrance driveway, the handsome house possesses the timeless quality of the Georgian period, its classically symmetrical, balanced facade complimented by light and airy rooms of excellent size and height.
The generous and welcoming entrance hallway gives access to all of the ground floor rooms and an attractive turning staircase, well-lit by a large stained glass window, leads to an open landing, off which there are 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside at the front of the house, a tarmac turning circle leads off the main drive flanked by formal gardens including a former lawn tennis court, below which are delightful parkland gardens with excellent pond, home to both fish and wild fowl.
The Cottages
To the rear of the main house and with a separate approach off the main driveway are 6 cottages, all of which are let on residential Assured Shorthold Tenancies but would equally lend themselves to holiday letting if desired. 4 of the cottages lie in a terrace directly behind the house, The Old Farmhouse (3 bedrooms), The Cottage (3 bedrooms), The Ferns (2 bedrooms) and The Loft (1 bedroom).
The two further cottages lie on the opposite side of the courtyard, The Granary (2 bedrooms) and The Stables (3 bedrooms) complete with bell tower and weather vane.
The Farm Buildings
