GENERAL COMMENTS AND LOCATION

It is becoming increasingly rare for a property of this nature to come to the open market. Trenisson Farmhouse has been in the same family ownership for well over 60 years and is now part of a small settlement which is entirely residential and very desirable. It will ultimately comprise one of five dwellings served by a common entrance drive of which the freehold title will pass with this particular property. At present the house fronts the approach drive but the rear elevation and garden has stunning views over the adjacent fields to the sea in Veryan Bay and the cliffs to Dodman Point in the distance. It is acknowledged that the property is in poor condition and whilst remedial work is necessary including the provision of a new roof it is likely the new owner will remodel the accommodation, possibly extend (subject to consent) and orientate the main aspect of the house towards towards the coast. The farmhouse is an L shape building, largely of stone construction, undoubtedly of great age and with many inherent features including slate flag flooring and open beamed ceilings. There are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor with 2 receptions, farmhouse kitchen and walk in pantry below. The property is not listed .Portloe is one of the jewels of the Roseland Peninsula. It has seen little or no intensive development in modern times and still retains its traditional atmosphere with clusters of old stone cottages set in a cleft of the cliff and descending to a delightful small harbour still used by local fishermen but with the industry now sadly concentrating on crabs and lobsters. Not surprisingly most of the village has been declared a Conservation Area. Limited local facilities include a pub and church but there is also a bus service throughout the year and the larger village of Veryan, known for its picturesque round houses built in the 19th Century by a Clergyman, is about two miles away. Here there is a pub, church, primary school, post office/general store, as well as a social/sports hall with indoor bowls and tennis courts. Much of the land in the area is owned and protected by the National Trust and the clifftop walks in the immediate vicinity are exceptional. The nearby Carne and Pendower Beach is also a favourite with locals and visitors alike. The city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about twelve miles away.
