Lot 6 – Trewothack Farmhouse & The Old Workshop
1.36 acres (0.55 ha)
Trewothack Farmhouse is an attractive double-fronted family home offering more than 3,230 ft2 of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space, the ground floor includes generous front aspect sitting and dining rooms both with bay windows and feature fireplaces, the former with woodburning stove and the latter an open fire, together with a well proportioned rear aspect office and a fitted utility room. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room features an Aga, modern integrated appliances and doors leading to the terrace and a rear porch. Completing the ground floor are a rear aspect bathroom and a secondary fitted kitchen, which connects to a boot room with access to the driveway.

On the first floor the property provides five bedrooms, a spacious family shower room and a separate family bathroom. The property’s two remaining bedrooms and a small store can be found on the second floor. Part of the farmhouse has been used for seasonal self-catering holiday lets, providing a good secondary income. The arrangement with the two staircases means that guests can enjoy a separate area of the house to the owners.

Trewothack Farmhouse has uPVC double glazing and heating is from a mixture of the Aga, wood burner and night storage heaters. The garden is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn and features an enclosed rear terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enjoying far-reaching views over neighbouring rolling farmland.

A swimming pool is located within a detached building to the side of the driveway and garden. Access to the farmhouse is currently via the shared track and driveway around the courtyard of barns in Lot 9. However, land will be sold with the farmhouse to enable a new private driveway to be laid coming in from the north. Please discuss with the agent for further details.

The Old Workshop is a separate unit of accommodation and is offered together with the farmhouse. Accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a large open plan living room/dining room/kitchen at one end, including doors to a small rear courtyard. The kitchen has a range of modern appliances including bottled gas hob and electric oven and fitted units. A well-lit corridor at the rear leads to doors to two bedrooms and a ground floor bathroom with separate shower, and a staircase leads to a small landing and a pair of large attic bedrooms, each with a skylight window facing the farmland valley below and understood to have plumbing in place for an en-suite bathroom if required.

The Old Workshop is currently occupied on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. It has timber double glazing and an oil fired central heating system.

Grazing land and farm buildings are also available in separate lots. Please ask the agent for more details.
