Description:

BARN OWL COTTAGE AND LOWER TRELOWTHAS BARN
COTTAGE AND BARN CONVERSION IN IDYLLIC RURAL LOCATION
Two independent dwellings being the remaining nucleus of an ancient farmstead set within approximately two acres of land. Newly constructed private entrance drive.

GENERAL COMMENTS/SITUATION
Lower Trelowthas was once a small farmstead in its own right and this property comprises the entirety of the remaining buildings. The two dwellings are attached, albeit completely independent, and they are set in a sheltered hollow surrounded by farmland and with no near neighbours. It is an idylic location just five miles east of Truro and in an area where this type of property rarely becomes available. A new entrance driveway (presently being constructed), passing across two open fields will be a spectacular approach to the property and will form part of the sale.

The property lies within the Parish of Probus and is just over a mile from the village. Here there is an excellent range of day to day facilities including post office, farm shop, general store, public house, two restaurants, primary school, doctors surgery, village hall and even a fish and chip shop. There is a good range of private and state schools in the area and the Roseland school in Tregony is just over two miles away. Further facilities are availabe in both Truro and St. Austell and here there are intercity rail links to London (Paddington), midlands, north of England and Scotland. The property is also well placed for access to the Roseland Peninsula, known to be an area of outstanding natural beauty and with a collection of harbourside villages and beaches along the south Cornish coast.
THE PROPERTY
The two dwellings have been comprehensively restored and converted by the present owners. Both buildings were latterly redundant barns but it is thought that Barn Owl Cottage previously incorporated shepherds accommodation on the first floor. This particular property has been largely rebuilt and is now a very substantial and luxurious dwelling formed within the original shell and exceedingly well insulated. Both properties have comprehensive systems of mains gas central heating and windows throughout are double glazed. The standard of appointment is to a high standard and this is most notable in Barn Owl Cottage where a superb double glazed and insulated conservatory has recently been added to the west elevation. In greater detail the accommodation comprises (all measurements are approximate):

The entrance driveway leads into a very wide concreted parking area adjacent to the two dwellings and this provides space for numerous vehicles. Alongside there is an extensive grassed area flanked by high hedges and mature trees and which provides plenty of space and potential for further landscaping and planting.

An additional area of land extending to almost an acre is being included on the east, south and west perimeters of the existing homestead which together with the entrance driveway will provide an overall site of over two acres. There is the possibility that further land could be available by negotiation.
THE ENTRANCE LANE
The current access into this property is via the main farm entrance which serves Trelowthas Manor Farm and which passes through the farmyard and then onto the property itself. Planning permission has been granted for a new access which is presently under construction and which will provide independent access direct from the county maintained highway. This driveway will be hardcore surfaced to the required standard and then fenced to provide uninterrupted private access. There will however be crossing places at certain intervals to allow the farm to gain access to their retained land and at these gated crossing places the lane will be concreted. If the roadway has not been completed prior to completion of the sale the purchasers will continue to enjoy access through the current farm entrance.
SERVICES
