General Comments - Trevorva House is a very impressive semi detached period house located on the outskirts of the sought after village of Probus. The house occupies a very large plot with gardens that extend to just over one acre and whilst completely overgrown offers tremendous potential. The house has not been occupied for a long time and is in need of complete restoration. However it is a substantial house that retains much charm and character with many original features including ornate ceiling cornices in the hall and sitting room, exposed beams and open fireplaces that will appeal to many. The rooms are of a very good proportion with high ceilings and large windows that afford plenty of natural light. The accommodation includes three double bedrooms and huge bathroom on the first floor and there is scope to create an en suite. The ground floor has an impressive hallway, sitting room, dining room and kitchen with Rayburn. The utility room is accessed externally from the rear but this could easily be incorporated into the kitchen. There is a useful range of outbuildings at the rear. The house is approached over a long drive that leads up the side where there is parking for several cars. The mains gardens are located to the rear and side and adjoin farmland owned by Cornwall Council on the eastern side.

Our clients will be selling the property with an overage clause whereby if planning permission is granted for residential development the new owner will have to pay a 35% uplift in the value of the land. Further information is available from the agent.

Location - Probus is a thriving community approximately six miles east of Truro and a little further west of St. Austell. The village has an excellent range of everyday facilities including Parish Church, public house, primary school, farm shop, general stores with post office, village hall, Chinese and Indian takeaways and even a fish and chip shop. A very regular bus service connects to both St. Austell and Truro and here there are a wider range of facilities including banks, building societies, schools, colleges and main line railway link to London (Paddington).
