Ladock, Truro, Cornwall, TR2

A substantial and versatile property comprising a five-bedroom house and a vast range of both traditional and modern farm buildings with development potential, set in approximately 10.89 acres, within a picturesque but easily accessible rural setting.

The range of both traditional and modern farm buildings extends to approximately 26,000 sq ft, and along with significant open yard areas provides clear scope to develop and reinvigorate the property as buyers may wish (subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent/s).

In all extending to approximately 10.89 acres
(4.41 hectares). Further land may be available
by separate negotiation.

For sale by private treaty.

LOCATION
Accessed over a pretty tree lined driveway, partly shared with the seller for agricultural access, the property occupies a secluded rural position with an outlook towards Ladock Woods.

Whilst the property feels very much ‘off the beaten track’, Higher Trelassick Farm lies just over two miles north of the village of Ladock whilst also being positioned less than two miles from Mitchell, adjacent to the A30 trunk road, enabling access to the cathedral city of Truro (9 miles), the north coast around Newquay (9 miles) and throughout the county and beyond.

Amenities close to Higher Trelassick Farm include a public house, church, post office and primary school in Ladock, whilst Mitchell is home to the respected Plume of Feathers public house and restaurant.

As the administrative heart of Cornwall, Truro provides a wide range of professional services, employment, retail and leisure opportunities, alongside cultural activities driven by Truro Cathedral and the Hall for Cornwall. Truro provides a wide range of private and state schooling for all ages and is home to the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske.

Mainline train services run from Truro direct to Plymouth, Exeter and London, including a sleeper train. National and international flights run from Newquay International Airport.

FARMHOUSE
The farmhouse is situated to the west of the farm buildings, centrally located within its own gardens, driveway and parking, which provides a significant degree of separation from the remainder of the property.

Orientated south and with traditional features such as large sash windows, slate flagged floors, traditional timber doors and high ceilings, the house provides a bright and airy family home, with a central hallway, two reception rooms, kitchen and utility on the ground floor. A return staircase, including a characterful arched window with window seat on the central landing, leads to five bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.

A timber frame building adjacent to the house has been converted for office/ancillary accommodation.

BUILDINGS
A range of double and single storey traditionally constructed barns, laid out in a u-shaped courtyard design, are positioned adjacent to the farmhouse, between the house and modern buildings/yard area.

The large double storey barn to the rear of the courtyard has many doorways and openings, an open timber truss roof construction as well as first floor access from the rear of the property, potentially being suitable for a high quality residential conversion. The single storey elements
could provide additional accommodation alongside the main barn or as separate units.

Beyond, and to the rear of, the traditional yard are a number of modern steel and timber frame farm buildings in a varying state of repair, redundant silage clamps and concrete yard. Further details are as outlined on the building table and plan.

The barns and buildings have a wide range of potential uses, especially given the quality and siting of the traditional stone ranges, the favourable permitted development rights for these, as well as the extent of modern farm buildings and their location, being close to Truro and the A30.

Any alternative uses may require planning consent, buyers should obtain and rely on their own advice with regards intended future use.
