1 Guide 450,000 Trelowthas Manor Barn, Nr. Tresillian, Truro, Cornwall FREEHOLD An extremely attractive and spacious rustic stone barn conversion enjoying an elevated rural setting, with panoramic views over countryside. The barn has been partially refurbished but now requires finishing, providing the perfect opportunity for a purchaser to finish the property to their own specification and then own a stunning family home, close to Truro and the Roseland Peninsula.

2 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance hall, family room/study, drawing room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, bedroom 5/study, en-suite bath/shower room. First Floor: 4 bedrooms, 2 bath/shower rooms, all accessed by two separate staircases. Outside: detached double garage, plenty of parking, attached shed with grey water storage tank. Front and rear gardens mainly lawned with a delightful orchard area on one side and rear courtyard areas. DESCRIPTION An extremely impressive and attractive barn conversion of deceptively large proportions, occupying a delightful, peaceful rural setting with an elevated position that affords some wonderful views over an unspoilt valley and miles of countryside. The property has been the subject of a refurbishment programme which is only part finished and therefore the barn will require finishing hence the competitive asking price. We understand that the current owners have had considerable drainage work carried out to the rear of the barn to solve damp issues and a new roof has been put on and the property now represents an excellent opportunity for someone to finish the property by installing their preferred central heating system, plumbing and electrics, kitchen, bathrooms and decorations at the end of which this barn has the potential to provide an extremely spacious family residence in a highly desirable area close to Truro and the Roseland Peninsula.

3 3 The property is approached over a long private driveway that meanders through fields and countryside to a collection of three barns. Trelowthas Manor Barn in situated at the front of the enclave with stunning views out over an unspoilt rural valley. All the barns enjoy good privacy from each other and the main outlook for this barn is out over its own large front gardens to the valley beyond. The front garden is mainly lawn with drainage trenches dug which just need filling. On a higher level is a mature orchard area and there is also a delightfully screened rear garden and roof terrace that can be accessed from the main drawing room. The barn retains much character with its beautiful stonework, exposed beams and trusses to internal vaulted roof spaces and there is a magnificent drawing room with a large stone fireplace, woodburning stove and a high vaulted ceiling with a semi circular wall on one side creating a lovely living space. In the current configuration, the first floor rooms were to be divided as four bedrooms, all doubles with two being accessed by a back staircase and two from the main staircase, served by two en-suite shower/bathrooms. The main bedroom our clients had envisaged would have bedroom 2 as its en-suite dressing room with the en-suite bath/shower room beyond it. There is also a 5 th bedroom/study accessed from steps from the dining room and this also has an en-suite shower/bathroom. The property is accessed from a long private driveway which, on the approach to the barn, provides parking areas on both sides of the road. The barn has had a fairly new garage constructed of close boarded tanalised timber walls under a slate roof with two sets of twin vehicular doors at the front. There is also a large shed attached to one end of the barn which provides a roof terrace that can be accessed from the drawing room above. The roof of the shed comprises concrete block and beam work and a large storage tank has been installed in the shed which our clients were minded to direct all the water from the roof into, to provide a grey water supply for the house. It is expected that the availability of this beautiful barn will attract a lot of attention and therefore an early opportunity to view the property is recommended as chances such as these are not frequent. LOCATION This is an extremely convenient location situated between the villages of Probus and Tresillian, both of which offer day to day facilities, shops and Probus has a primary school.
