Tregadillett, Launceston, PL15

Approached from a no through road, North Kestle offers a wonderful opportunity to create a rural, yet accessible smallholding with a substantial family home. Purchased in 1925 it has remained in the same family ever since.

Tucked away on the edge of the hamlet behind a walled courtyard area which has an ample parking and turning area, the farmhouse is in need of complete renovation and modernisation, but offers a fantastic blank canvas.

The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises;

DINING ROOM

SITTING ROOM

REAR KITCHEN

THREE STORE ROOMS

The first floor has THREE BEDROOMS, a DRESSING ROOM, BATHROOM and over stairs storage cupboard.

The adjoining BARN has two storeys and is divided into three ‘rooms’. This could be incorporated into the main farmhouse or used for ancillary accommodation (subject to gaining the necessary planning consents).

Outside

Immediately to the front of the farmhouse is a small walled garden area and adjoining this, an enclosed orchard/paddock with a single storey concrete block SHIPPON type building.

Next to the entrance is stone & slate BARN, and concrete block SHIPPON, both with potential, subject to gaining the necessary planning permissions.

On the right of the parking area is a range of further pole barns (some in very poor repair) and at the rear another concrete block shippon.

The Land

Extending in all to some 4.78 acres (1.93 hectares), the land sits to the north of the farmhouse and comprises a single, level and gently sloping grass paddock which has super views of the neighbouring valley.
