Lot One (as edged red on the plan)


Property description
Trevethoe house itself is a former smallholding, dating back to the 1820’s, enjoying a particularly handsome front elevation with mock Tudor first-floor elevation. The property offers the incoming
purchaser scope to renovate in line with their own specification and requirements.


A pretty canopy porch gives way to the original front door opening into a central reception hall with stairs to the first floor and enclosed stone steps running down to the cellar.


The principal room sits to the front of the house enjoying twin aspects and features an open fireplace within an ornate tiled surround and hearth. Across the hallway is a well-proportioned
dining room, also featuring an open fireplace within a tiled surround and hearth. Off the rear hall is a cloakroom with two piece white suite.


To the rear of the property is a sizeable kitchen with semi-vaulted
ceiling, fitted with a range of base cabinets with single drainer sink unit, plumbing space for a washing machine and space for a fridge and freezer. The focal point of the kitchen is a blue gas-fired twin oven AGA. The kitchen has adequate space for a breakfast table.


An attractive painted spindle staircase rises to a spacious first floor landing giving access to each of the bedrooms and a family bathroom with coloured three-piece suite with wall tiling.


Outbuildings
To the rear of the dwelling is a large two-storey L-shaped brick range, formerly stables and shippon with hay storage, from its time as a smallholding. This building is predominantly of brick construction under slate roofing, with two lean-to timber framed, single-storey adjoining buildings.
To the ground floor is a garage, large former shippon providing general storage and a former stable block. Adjoining the building is an additional timber framed loose box and timber framed
potting shed with fuel store. Internal timber steps rise to the first floor where there are three
sizeable loft rooms with wonderful exposed trusses and purlins. This building offers tremendous scope to convert to a ‘granny annexe’, a substantial home office, home gymnasium (subject to the necessary planning consents), or simply garaging with
extensive storage.


Gardens and grounds
Trevethoe is approached through a gated entrance onto a sweeping driveway leading to the rear of the property. The formal gardens sit to the north and east of the house, mainly laid to lawn with a variety of broadleaf trees, along with eucalyptus, holly and
rhododendron bushes. The gardens include a brick-built garden store with machinery shed and an adjoining timber framed greenhouse.


To the north west of the property, with access through a field gate, is a single agricultural field laid to permanent pasture with a gentle slope running from south to west. The land is particularly
well-drained, enclosed by native hedging and enjoys a water supply. The field itself extends to approximately 2.56 acres.


Overage clause (paddock only)

of the uplift in value of the property arising in the event of residential development of the paddock land. Further details available from the selling agent.
