Trehingsta Farmhouse

Trehingsta Farmhouse is situated within the small rural hamlet of Trehingsta and offers the perfect balance between peaceful and secluded rural living whilst being part of a small community and therefore not isolated. The property is not Listed and was formally owned by the Dutchy Of Cornwall. The main house is believed to date back over 400 years with an annex being a later addition. This attractive period property has retained a wealth of period features including high ceilings, open fireplaces, sash windows, a grand staircase and slate flag flooring. Since 2006 the property has been lovingly and sympathetically renovated and restored back to its former glory and the finished product is very impressive.

The property consists of a five bedroom farmhouse with an adjoining one bedroom annex. There is a detached workshop/garage in the garden and surrounding the garden and grounds on three sides is farmland.

The front door leads directly off the lane into the staircased hallway. This leads back to the rear porch that in turn leads out to the west facing terrace and garden. Off the hallway is a study and to the other side are a downstairs shower room (with WC) and a utility room (with corian work surfaces).

Granite steps lead down into the fabulous, open-plan kitchen/living room. This kitchen forms the focal point to the house and has a wonderful high vaulted ceiling with conservation roof lights and hardwood double glazed windows, a large central island with halogen hobs and two electric ovens. It has a slate flag floor with underfloor, oil fired heating. Doors lead out to a terrace beside which is an outdoor WC. A second set of internal granite steps lead up from the open plan kitchen/living room into the dining room through an alcove. The dining room has a lovely cosy feel and yet has retained many original period features. Alcove arches flank the central fire surround within which is a wood burner. French doors lead out to the west facing terrace and garden. A door from the dining room leads into the hallway and back porch. Beyond the study is the sitting room which has a spacious feel and a wood burner set within a large inglenook fireplace that has retained the original cloam oven. French doors lead out to the terrace.

An elegant set of sweeping stairs lead up from the hallway to the first floor landing off which are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. Three of the bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, face west with wonderful views overlooking the garden, orchard and rural countryside beyond. The principal bedroom is particular special with a light, bright and airy feel and wooden shutters flanking the sash windows.

Also accessed off the lane is the attached one bedroom annex. The porch and front door lead into the kitchen/breakfast room which has electric hobs, an electric oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and original slate flags on the floor. Also off the porch is the downstairs bathroom and off the kitchen is a door that leads through to the log store. Beyond the kitchen is a reception room that could be used as a study, TV room or indeed a bedroom. Stairs lead up to the first floor which consists of a one large room that is currently used as a bedroom but could be used as a sitting room, studio or office. An internal door links the annex to the main house between the downstairs reception room (within the annex) and the sitting room (within the main house).

Outside the garden is divided into three parts. There is a lovely west-facing terrace and garden that is divided from the orchard by a low stone wall. This area is perfect for alfresco dining and outside entertaining. There is also a gravel terraced area off kitchen, beyond which is ample parking for four vehicles. Off the parking area is a detached wooden shed/workshop. Beside the parking area is a lawn and to the other side of the shed is a spacious orchard.
