Description
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, two farmyards 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 149.83 acres (60.64 hectares).

THE PROPERTY
Trenodden Farm is offered as a whole or in two lots as follows:

Lot 1: Trenodden Farm - 4 bedroom Georgian farmhouse, 6 residential cottages offering a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom accommodation, farmyard with modern and traditional buildings, pond, walled, formal and parkland gardens. Surrounded by arable and pasture land with amenity woodland. In all approximately 91.58 acres
(37.06 hectares).

Lot 2: Trehill Farm – High quality arable and pasture land within 7 field enclosures, along with a commercial farmyard adjacent to a public highway consisting of a livestock building, silage clamp, dung store, traditional barn and ancillary buildings. In all approximately 58.24 acres (23.57 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 agricultural land extends to a total of 142.35 acres (57.61 hectares), combining high quality arable land capable of intensive cropping regimes, arable and temporary pasture, alongside valley and parkland pasture fields to provide grazing land alongside wider amenity and wildlife benefits. Cropping in the last 5 years has included cereals, broccoli, forage crops and grass.

The land is classified as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales, the Cranfield Soilscapes dataset detailing the land as consisting of freely draining slightly acid loamy soils along with base-rich soils, usually associated with arable and grassland cover and suitable for range of spring and autumn sown crops, with a long grazing season under grass, the free drainage reducing the risk of soil damage from grazing animals or farm machinery.

Pockets of mature broadleaf woodland are located around the farm, with steeper pasture and other land being ideally suited for additional tree planting should owners wish.

BUILDINGS
Trenodden & Trehill Farm has two
yard areas.

The buildings at Trenodden Farm (Lot 1) 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 wish.

The yard at Trehill Farm (Lot 2) is located close by as the crow flies, but accessed independently from the public road network. It consists of a range of agricultural buildings - livestock building, silage clamp, slurry lagoon, traditional barn and ancillary buildings - along with a general yard area. The yard is ideal for use in conjunction with the land within the whole property, in isolation with the land within Lot 2, or in conjunction with other land and property in the area, as well as for alternative commercial, equestrian or other uses, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.
