Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Grade II Listed Farmhouse
  • Five Bedroom Accommodation
  • Traditional Barns
  • 6 Acre Pasture Field
  • Further Lots Available
A very attractive Grade II Listed farmhouse offering spacious five bedroom accommodation together with six acres of land, traditional barns with potential (subject to consent) and mature gardens. Further lots available - see separate listings.

Situation
Tresawsen Farm sits on the outer fringes of the rural hamlet of Callestick, part way between Truro and the north Cornish coast. The farmhouse sits along a quiet back road and enjoys privacy and tranquility and yet is within a very short distance of the main A30, allowing easy access in, around and out of the county.

Truro is the commercial capital of Cornwall and boasts a wide range of every day facilities, with a high street offering national multiples as well as many independent cafes, shops and restaurants. The historic Cathedral hosts a variety of events and the train station provides a regular link to London (Paddington).
Perranporth and St Agnes are equidistant, with each offering sandy beaches, access to the South West Coast Path and every day amenities and eateries.

The Property
The farmhouse is a very attractive Grade II Listed dwelling which offers spacious five bedroom accommodation with a host of period features including slate flagged floors and window shutters in many places. The farmhouse could now benefit from a programme of refurbishment but nevertheless offers the opportunity to create a wonderful family home.

To the front are attractive landscaped gardens, containing specimen shrubs and flanked by sweeping lawns, as well as a garage and driveway parking for numerous vehicles. On the opposite side of the quiet road are the remains of a stone barn and a former cart house, which provide useful storage and offer potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation (subject to gaining the necessary consents). Additionally, two single storey barns to the side of the farmhouse provides useful storage space or stabling, but also has potential to be incorporated into the dwelling or alternative uses (subject to consent).

A feature is the adjoining pasture field, extending to 6.16 acres (2.49 ha). The paddock lies to the east of the house and has road access. The whole Lot extends to 7.82 acres (3.16 ha) or thereabouts.

Tresawsen Farm has been in the same family ownership for over 60 years and has remained totally unspoilt. It is to be sold with vacant possession and no onward chain.

DIRECTIONS
From Truro proceed in a northerly direction out of the city on the B3284, continuing through and out of Shortlanesend and on reaching the A30, turning right to proceed eastbound. After a short distance, take the left turning signposted Callestick and Perran Church. Continue along this road for approximately a third of a mile, where Tresawsen Farm will be found on the right hand side.

*Prospective purchasers should note that on the opening of the new A30 dual carriageway, the ‘old' A30 section between Chybucca and Marazanvose which approaches the property will become a much less used road and enhance the Farm even further.
