Description
A beautifully restored historic farmhouse nestled in approximately 3 acres of enchanting gardens, meadows, woodland, and characterful outbuildings.
Set in the serene rolling countryside between the picturesque villages of St Mellion and Pillaton in south-east Cornwall, this captivating property offers a rare blend of heritage charm, modern comfort, and exciting lifestyle potential.
Thoughtfully enhanced by its current owners, Trefenten is perfectly positioned—less than 30 minutes from the stunning south Cornish coast, with easy access to the dramatic north Coast, Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, and the regional hub of Plymouth, just 10 miles away.
The farmhouse features versatile accommodation across two floors. At its heart lies a generous, character-filled farmhouse kitchen—a true gathering space for family and friends. A splendid sitting room with vaulted ceilings and a striking exposed stone chimney breast is overlooked by a galleried landing, adding a sense of grandeur and light. A second kitchen/living area with adjacent bathroom offers potential for a self-contained annexe or income-generating rental.
Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms await, including a luxurious master suite complete with dressing room and private bathroom.
Adding to the property’s allure is Teg—a beautifully converted detached barn whose name means “beautiful” in Cornish. This luxurious retreat features a cedar hot tub, indulgent bathroom, exposed beams, a cosy woodburner, and its own private courtyard garden—perfect for romantic escapes or boutique-style holiday letting.
Further enhancing its potential, planning permission has been granted for the addition of two luxury treehouses in the secluded woodland valley below the house. These unique structures are envisioned as stylish, eco-friendly holiday escapes, complete with outdoor baths and woodburners beneath a leafy canopy—ready for the new owners to bring to life.
Trefenten presents an exceptional opportunity to embrace an idyllic Cornish countryside lifestyle while benefiting from diverse income streams through holiday letting, a potential B&B, and the exciting treehouse development.
