Lower Trelabe occupies a truly exceptional and private setting within gently undulating countryside in a highly regarded farming district. The dramatic Tors of Bodmin Moor rise in the distance, creating a striking backdrop to the surrounding landscape, while a network of quiet parish lanes provides superb opportunities for hacking and country pursuits.

The nearby towns of Launceston (7 miles), Callington (5 miles) and Liskeard (9 miles) provide an excellent range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities. The area is well served by respected independent schools including St. Joseph’s School in Launceston and Mount Kelly in Tavistock, with further private and grammar options available in Plymouth.

For commuters, Okehampton offers a direct mainline rail service to London Paddington, whilst Plymouth (approximately 21 miles) provides additional mainline connections and cross-Channel ferry services to France and northern Spain.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via the County lane whereby there are four gated access points directly from the very quiet parish road with the top access having a 15’ wide five bar gate leading into an open concrete courtyard.

To the top of the courtyard is the open paddock which in the majority has been planted as an orchard (chemical free) with a collection of over 60 historic local Apple varieties alongside, Pears, Plums, Quince, Medlar and Cherry with a native hedge boundary to all sides being rich in nature and a haven for wildlife, along with the adjacent field.

The first of the outbuildings in the field is a former Cattle Kennel (85’ x 24’) with concrete floor and multiple sectional pens with galvanized sheet roof and timber frame construction currently used for storage. Beside this is a former Silage Clamp (70’ x 90’) with sleeper divider between. The top side also houses a processing unit, Five Star food hygiene approved, for the Apples which could be repurposed to another food production unit should someone require. This has power, lighting and is connected to the foul sewerage system.

Below this is another open Silage Clamp (70’ x 90’) with concrete floor, water and electric points and boarded panels to the side. There are the remains of another former barn and a large agricultural building ( 45’ x 45’) of timber frame construction with concrete floor being boarded to three sides, again partially open fronted with excellent further potential for storage and / or conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

Former Calving building (32’ x 22’) of block construction with four calving boxes, concrete floor and galvanize sheet roof which would need further attention.

The lower left hand side has the Former Milking Parlour and below this a large Open Fronted Barn/Covered Yard (43’ x 30’) with partial concrete floor, block walls to three sides, timber frame roof joists, power, lighting and electric points.

Opposite is a large Dutch Barn (45’ x 45’ max) and lean-to timber frame with timber cladding and metal sheet roof, dirt floor and open to two sides, again making excellent storage.

The paddock continues to wrap around the outbuildings with further orchard planting and location of a large 8KW solar array.

Useful lockable timber storage shed (circa 10’ x 20’) and beside the central access gate is a further concrete driveway which leads beside the house, but also towards the converted former hayloft.

A Former Wagon house (26’ x 18’) is an open fronted log store with box steel roofing, stone construction, fabulous granite pillars to the front and brick quoins. This adjoins the renovated traditional stone barn and former hayloft (17’ x 48’).

This building has been greatly improved and renovated which now includes two pedestrian doors to the front with a middle false door. Painted concrete floor throughout, power and strip lighting. Useful utility space with roll top work surface having inset stainless steel sink and drainer, space and plumbing for washing machine, borehole water treatment plant, double glazed window to the front, W.C. and shower enclosure with electric shower over.

Excellent useful storage space on two levels again with lighting and further door and window to the front. Three night storage heaters downstairs and four night storage / wall heaters on the first floor. Wonderful further potential either to continue to use for storage or for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions being achieved

External steps from the rear of the building lead up to the first floor with door opening into Games Room with solid timber floor throughout, double glazed window to the front aspect, vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walls, strip lighting and large entertaining area. Steps lead down into an Office / Hobby Room with double glazed windows to both sides and slit window to the end gable. Continuation of solid timber flooring throughout. A very useful large hobby space / home office which would favour further conversion for ancillary accommodation / annex, subject to the necessary planning permissions being achieved.

The gardens are predominantly at the rear with the space in front of the property being paved with Indian sandstone having steps leading up to a meandering pathway through the front lawn. The front lawn blends harmoniously towards the outbuildings with a further gate to the side into the second paddock with stock fence containing a more established orchard.

Below the property sits a productive walled kitchen garden with five bar gate for access. Large chicken coup, fruit cage and greenhouse.

Immediately below the farmhouse is another five bar gated entrance where there is a electric car charging point and door leading into the kitchen.
