A superb Edwardian granite-fronted farmhouse, dating back to, we believe, the early 1900's, occupying a commanding, elevated position in the hamlet of Trenoweth, with superbly tended grounds approaching 1 acre. The house itself benefits from 4 bedrooms, one en-suite, with all main rooms enjoying fabulous views the length of the property's own grounds and over adjacent countryside and farmland, to Argal Reservoir, Falmouth Bay and The Lizard peninsula beyond - an amazing, panoramic vista. Externally, excellent parking and storage facilities are provided, with gated parking areas, extensive outbuildings including a detached garage with adjoining lean-to store, glass-fronted summerhouse, workshop/store, part open-fronted garaging/boat store, additional lean-to store, shower block and 2 shepherd huts.

'Anneth Lowen' is an impressive Edwardian, granite-fronted farmhouse, dating back to, we understand, the early 1900's. The house itself occupies an elevated position at the head of its own well tended and well stocked grounds, approaching approximately one acre.

The property has been sympathetically modernised throughout our clients' ownership and dramatically improved via replacement and sealed unit double glazing, a modern oil fired central heating system, a replacement roof approximately ten years ago.

The internal accommodation briefly comprises a refitted and well appointed kitchen, utility room, cosy snug/living room with exposed stone fireplace and glass-fronted log-burner, ground floor cloakroom/WC and first floor bath/shower room with modern white sanitary ware. The property further benefits from four bedrooms, one of which has en-suite facilities, whilst our clients have also added two superb oak-framed extensions, one of which now offers a welcoming entrance porch, the second of which is a magnificent conservatory/sitting/dining room with glass-fronted wood-burner, full height casement double glazed windows which benefit, together with all other main rooms, from stunning views across the property's own grounds, rural countryside and farmland beyond, to Argal Reservoir, Falmouth Bay and The Lizard peninsula in the distance.

Externally, excellent parking facilities are on offer with gated access to ample forecourt parking, a detached single garage with lean-to storage shed plus halfway down the one acre grounds, accessed via the lower driveway, further parking facilities are available via an open-fronted car port/boat store with attached single garage/store and further courtyard parking. Useful outbuildings include a timber-built summerhouse, large store/workshop, shower block and two shepherd huts are also situated at various points throughout the circa one acre plot.

Agent's Note - The shepherd huts are not to be used for holiday letting purposes, and should only be used for ancillary accommodation/home office areas due to a recent appeal being declined by Cornwall Council Planning Department.
