Description
Little Treviles was purchased by our clients approximately 8 years ago. We believe the original Edwardian cottage was built on the site of an earlier dwelling. There is a date stone of 1720 of the former building that can still be seen in the stonework. This unique small holding is tucked away in an idyllic valley sitting deep within the Roseland countryside but easily accessible to nearby Truro which is about 20 mins by car. The cottage has no near neighbours and is accessed from a quiet country lane. The private entrance to the property is through a wooden gate which leads to its own tree lined driveway. This rare gem of a property is set in 6 acres of gardens and pastureland.
Over the last three to four years, this unique property has undergone sympathetic updating and enlarging to suit the owners needs. This has included additional living areas being added to the cottage. Major building works in the two-storey extension and in the annexe are now completed. All structural and wall finishes are completed, with electrical points and plumbing works in place. There are also two current planning permissions in place, one being a single storey kitchen extension to the main house and the other to build a two-storey detached barn with garage and loft room.
Little Treviles will suit various buyers seeking a property for either a large family, extended family or the retiring couple yearning for peace and tranquillity. The main house provides good size accommodation, with the benefit of additional areas providing further space for a work from home office or hobbies rooms or accommodation to cater for visiting relatives and grandchildren during school holidays. The versatile accommodation could also be easily adapted for those looking for a holiday letting income as the annexe has been a ‘holiday let’ in the past.
The Grounds (Circa 6 acres)
A gated tarmacadam driveway sweeps towards the property. This is a very attractive feature and is enhanced by overlooking its own grounds to enjoy a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The driveway terminates in a courtyard area where there is space for several vehicles. To the front of the property there is a simple area of garden with lawn and low stone retaining walls with beds planted with a selection of shrubs and perennials including a beautiful magnolia tree. Major excavation works have been completed around the new extension and the area is now ready for landscaping to provide entertainment sun terraces and patios.
The good quality land is ideal for those with equestrian or hobby farming interests. Just beyond the gardens is a paddock which is overlooked by the cottage and to the west of the property is one large enclosure divided into four separate paddocks. There is also a large OUTBUILDING 32' x 16' plus an additional area 15' x 9' of timber and sheeted roof construction with water and electricity installed. This building could easily be utilised for stabling or indeed any other livestock enterprise. Access to the land by vehicle or farm machinery is either directly through the fields or for larger vehicles via farm track across adjacent land, which is a permitted right of way granted to the property to allow access to the fields owned by the property.
