PROPERTY
Benefitting from a gently sloping southerly elevation throughout, the mature trees and hedgerows protect and shelter the property, creating a microclimate that has allowed wildlife and plants to flourish.

At the heart of the property is a traditional country cottage, extended over time to now provide 6 bedrooms and increased energy sufficiency by virtue of a 17-panel solar array, battery storage and electric vehicle charger. The layout of the gardens and productive vegetable area surrounding the house seamlessly connect the dwelling to the adjacent studio and versatile range of farm buildings, with access through to the wider land.

The land consists of a further area of former productive horticultural land and an orchard area with recent tree planting, in addition to 5 distinct paddocks, with internal field gateways to allow access throughout. A substantial field shelter is located in the largest field, which also benefits from a secondary access from the property driveway.

LOCATION
Located in the rural hamlet of Pulla Cross, in an elevated position, the property is fantastically well positioned for all necessary services and amenities, whilst retaining its rural appeal.

The desirable nearby villages of Frogpool/Cusgarne (0.7 miles), Perranwell Station (2.0 miles) and Ponsanooth (2.1 miles) all have distinct communities and between them provide 3 primary schools, various pre-schools/nurseries, 3 well-respected pubs, post office, village stores, train station and several village halls and playing fields along with a garage, hair salon and other useful services.

The property is also positioned equidistant, approximately 5-7 miles, between the conurbations of the city of Truro, Falmouth/Penryn and Redruth/Camborne. Each area has their own sense of identify and together provide a wide array of education and schooling, administrative, employment, retail, industrial opportunities along with ecclesiastical, cultural, leisure and sporting facilities. A bus service between Truro and Redruth runs past the property.

Positioned in central Cornwall a few miles from the recently upgraded A30, Trehu has the ability to access all that Cornwall has to offer, from the quiet and secluded creeks and rivers of the Falmouth and Helford estuaries, ideal for sailing, paddleboarding and boating activities, to the wild and open coasts of the Lizard peninsula and north coast with surfing and coastal walking opportunities.

The area around Trehu is also unusual in the scale and extent of public rights of way suitable for walking, running, cycling and horse riding, a result of the historic mining in the area that remains a source of fascination and intrigue. The right of way network is centred around the popular Bissoe Trail, a multi-use trail that connects the north and south coasts of the Cornwall at Portreath and Devoran.

COTTAGE
Originally a 4-bedroom cottage with side extension, Trehu has been extended over time to now form a substantial, double-pitch, 6 bedroom house totalling 2,516 sq ft, that naturally divides into two 3-bedroom elements, each with their own entrance, staircase, kitchen, bathroom and garden areas. Currently used as one dwelling but having been used as two smaller dwellings to provide holiday and long-term letting income in the past, and with doorways linking the two parts of the house on both ground and first floor, there is huge flexibility and scope to use the house in many differing ways, potentially providing inter-generational accommodation or to generate letting income.

Unlisted and positioned centrally within the plot with space on all sides, there is clear scope for enhancement and extension of the property as buyers may wish, subject to obtaining the relevant consents.

Orientated south-east and overlooking the garden and land, access to the property is from a minor country road to the rear of the house, into a gravelled parking area suitable for several cars. The parking area leads to the carport and into the farm building area with access through the land to one side, and into the land directly from the other side.

To the front of the house, its southerly elevation, the private garden area is stocked with an extensive array of flowers, shrubs and trees, with a pond enhancing the peaceful, nature filled environment, along with two summerhouses. Trees such as beech, copper beech, willow, lime, hornbeam, hawthorn and acer complement the mature oak and sycamore trees found within the hedgerows to provide screening, privacy and shelter. Within the garden, well stocked herbaceous borders are surrounded by structural flowering plants such as camellia, rhododendron and hydrangea whilst wisteria, honeysuckle, clematis and roses climb and cover walls and fencing to provide colour as well and separation and distinct areas to the garden. All elements combine to provide a beautiful Cornish country cottage garden.

To the side of the garden, between the amenity garden and accessway to the land is the productive vegetable area, with greenhouse, raised beds, fruit nets and polytunnel, with grassed accessways between.

BUILDINGS
Adjacent to the house is a studio, approximately 140 sq ft in size, with a pitched roof with velux window and 4 standard windows, ideal for use as a home office, gym, music room or art studio.

To the rear of the studio and accessed via a gateway from the entrance drive through the old yard stone wall is a substantial range of outbuildings. Comprising the old cow sheds and general housing, it provides approximately 1,300 sq ft of floorspace by way of 4 stables/loose housing and storage barns with concrete flooring, a log store and open fronted barn/machinery store, in addition to a car port (with electric charging point) and open timber storage shed.

These buildings are ideal for the use of the property for smallholding/equestrian use, general storage and provide extensive floor area for any alternative use.

LAND
The land consists of 6 separate paddocks, with interfield gateways between them all, with two access points from the entrance drive.

The paddock closest to the house and gardens was formerly a larger area of vegetable production, recently returned to grass but that could easily be reinstated should buyer wish. In this paddock there is also an orchard area with mature apple, flowering cherry trees and blueberry bushes, along with recent planting of apple, rowan, cherry and birch trees.

The largest field has a substantial concrete floor field shelter, the bottom field having an area recently separated off and planted up with a variety of broadleaf trees. All fields have a water supply.
