Trenodden Farm is centred around an impressive Grade II listed, Georgian farmhouse with 6 residential cottages and buildings to the rear, centrally positioned within the land and accessed by a wonderful tree-lined avenue.

Available for the first time in 94 years and maintained to an exceptionally high level, the farms provide high quality arable and pasture land, a farmyard consisting of traditional and modern farm buildings and amenity woodland. The farmhouse, positioned in a private setting on the periphery of the buildings area, has stunning views over the formal gardens, pond and estate-style parkland setting, down the picturesque valley, all of which form part of the property.

In all extending to approximately 13.29 acres
(5.36 hectares).

LOCATION
Located in a particularly picturesque and popular part of eastern Cornwall, a mile outside the highly desirable village of Menheniot, Trenodden and Trehill Farm is positioned a couple of miles from the A38, the principal road that runs through south-east Cornwall connecting Bodmin with Saltash and Plymouth.

The south coast of Cornwall is within 7-8 miles of the farm, with popular coastal towns, villages and harbours such Looe, Seaton and Portwrinkle providing easy access to a wealth of boating, watersport and coastal activities associated with the region, as well as a host of leisure, retail and other outdoor activities. A little further afield provides access to the wonderful coastal landscapes with the protected Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty of Rame Head and the Polperro/Fowey estuary.

In addition, and in contrast, the farm is within striking distance of the wild uplands of both Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor as well as the often undiscovered and lush countryside of the east Cornwall/west Devon border area.

FARMHOUSE
Trenodden Farmhouse is an elegant Georgian manor house, with a classically symmetrical façade, along with all features one would expect from such a property. Accessed via a splendid lime tree avenue the driveway winds down past the cottages and arrives at the turning circle at the grand front entrance, overlooking the formal gardens, ponds, parkland and valley.

The front entrance leads to a large hallway, itself leading to all ground floor rooms. An expansive, u-shaped staircase leads to a large, open landing area, bright and airy by virtue of 4 ornate stained glass arched windows bringing light into the heart of the house. 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom lead from the landing, the principal bedrooms having views over the gardens and land to the front of the house.

COTTAGES
To the rear of the farmhouse, connected, but with individual entrances from the rear courtyard, are 4 cottages – The Old Farmhouse (3 bedroom), The Cottage (3 bedroom), The Ferns (2 bedroom) and The Loft (1 bedroom) – as well as a range of stores and large garage. Originally forming part of the farmhouse, these cottages are now let on residential Assured Shorthold Tenancies, but could be used for other uses or combined back into the main house to create a large dwelling of up to 12 bedrooms, the doorways and former entrances through from the existing farmhouse still being visible.

On the other side of the courtyard to the 4 cottages are a further 2 residential dwellings – The Granary (2 bedroom) and The Stables (3 bedroom). The Stables is an exceptionally pretty and striking property, originally built for 5 shire horses that worked the land and has recently been renovated to provide high quality residential accommodation, its ornate and unusual roofline with bell tower and weather vane, arched windows and high quality stonework being particularly eye-catching.

LAND
The land consists of three different parcels. Located to the north of the walled garden and buildings is a lovely 2.17ac paddock, gently sloping southwards, overlooking the rooftops of the house and cottages. With excellent vehicular access from the yard and with a level area of hard-standing, the field is incredibly flexible, whether for use for horses or ponies, livestock or for production of vegetables, or perhaps vines. Adjacent to this field is a protected and picturesque valley, through which runs the stream that feeds the pond. The formal gardens look out over an area of parkland field that encircle the pond and include a number of mature parkland trees, protecting the view from the farmhouse.

BUILDINGS

The buildings at Trenodden Farm extend seamlessly from the courtyard to the rear of the farmhouse via a gateway. With a separate entrance track to the yard being located halfway along the driveway to filter out agricultural and commercial vehicles from those visiting the farmhouse and cottages, the yard consists of a wide range of modern and traditional buildings as shown on the plan and building schedule, currently in agricultural use but able to be reused or renovated as owners may wish.
