7 bedroom house

This important landmark home dates back to around 1350. Originally a three-roomed Medieval Hall House, consisting of kitchen, central passageway, great hall and parlour, it has been much added to and extended over the centuries. Steeped in history, it has many unique features including impressive fireplaces, 18th Century panelling, original shutters, a cloam oven, a medieval bread oven and wig cupboard. In recent years our client has improved the property further, installing a brand new water treatment plant, fire detection and electrical work and a refitted main bathroom and spacious under stairs storage. Ground source heat pumps generate warmth and hot water. Externally, at the front there is an unusual semi-circular pond thought to be for watering horses. Adjoining the house on the west side of the cobbled central courtyard is a 17th Century stone shippon barn. Extensive gardens surround the house and extend to the east of the main driveway. Fifty-two acres of pasture extend to the north and south leading down to Penpont Water, a major tributary of the River Inny.

The property now offers extensive and flexible accommodation in a delightful and secluded location with no near neighbours. It would suit a wide range of buyers including those seeking family or multi-generational occupation or those wishing to convert and enjoy the many barns and outbuildings, which offer exciting potential.

INTERIOR
The main house
A welcoming entrance porch opens into the central hallway and directly through to the courtyard with shippon barn beyond. On the left of the hallway is the old kitchen, now used as a sitting room, with wood burning stove in an impressive fireplace and large window opening onto the courtyard. Utility room and WC are adjoining as is access to the East Wing. To the right of the hallway is the old great hall, now a dining room, leading through to the original parlour, now the drawing room. Both rooms have imposing granite fireplaces, panelling and shutters.

To the rear of the old hall is a spacious and light filled hallway with a broad 18th Century staircase winding to the first floor landings. Under the stairs is a useful boarded out storage area. On the south side of the hallway, sheltered within the central courtyard, is a fairly recent addition, a fully glazed sunroom. To the north is the charming panelled small parlour, leading through to the kitchen. This good-sized room has a triple aspect with two part-glazed doors opening onto the central courtyard. There is a range of units and an Everhot stove with induction plate. Originally a cider-cellar, the kitchen has an unusual slate flagstone floor with granite fluid channels.

Upstairs, the main staircase leads to three large bedrooms and a bathroom. Bedroom one has an easterly aspect offering morning sunlight. Bedroom two (thought to have been used as a courtroom) and the adjacent dressing room have a southerly aspect and large windows with views towards Bodmin Moor. Through bedroom three, which has a high ceiling and was originally the upper part of the great hall, is a door leading to two more intimate bedrooms and a pretty bathroom. These rooms can also be accessed directly via a most attractive 16th century staircase from the old kitchen, offering the possibility to section the house into three.

The bedrooms all enjoy a pleasant outlook either over the gardens or across the courtyard and through the trees towards Bodmin Moor.

The East Wing
Known officially as Trerithick Cottage and registered as a property in its own right, the East Wing is linked to the main property at both ground and first floors as well as having its own separate access. It can be integrated or self-contained, and has been let in the past.

The East Wing front door opens into a reception area with a huge fireplace. To the right a doorway connects to the main house, to the left is a good-sized kitchen/dining room. This leads through to the East Wing sitting room, a high ceilinged room with triple aspect, an impressive fireplace and cloam oven, a mullioned window to the east and a staircase to the first floor. Upstairs there are two very large bedrooms, both with double aspect, and a bathroom.

The Shippon Barn
Adjacent to the house and forming one side of the central courtyard is the Moor View Shippon Barn. Planning permission for development into further accommodation was granted in the past and has since lapsed (Cornwall County Council: PA15/02881), offering an ideal opportunity for resubmission and conversion.

GROUNDS
Externally, Trerithick Manor has a central courtyard and extensive, well-maintained grounds. The central courtyard is sheltered and sunny with a secluded feel. Enclosed on all sides, it is walled to the south, with the main house to the north and east and the undeveloped shippon barn to the west. Four acres of gardens are divided west and east of the main driveway. The west garden surrounds the house to the front, rear and west side of the property with an extensive lawned area to the west of the house. The east garden includes a croquet lawn, small arboretum, and tennis court. It also has a garden room and a greenhouse in need of some attention. To the north of the barns is a small orchard.

There are three entrances to the property from the road. The main entrance to the front of the house divides the east and west gardens. The upper driveway provides a pleasant tree-lined approach to the farmyard and medieval barns and then joins the main entrance. A further entrance provides access to the shippon barn and front parking area. The property offers a great deal of outdoor and under cover parking space for vehicles of all sizes, with a garage, a boat store, a tractor barn and large areas of hard standing.

The outbuildings are extensive. A most attractive courtyard of listed stone barns with slate roofs comprises two-storey long barn, threshing barn and book barn, and a large single storey workshop. There is immense potential here for imaginative development subject to the usual consents.

In addition there are several more modern agricultural buildings including a stable block, a large tractor shed and a separate and very large sheep barn with earth floor that could offer potential for equestrian purposes.

The land extends to the north and south of the house. Fields are separated by tree-lined banks along historic field boundaries. On the northern side, about 14 acres are divided into several fields. To the south, around 33 acres of permanent pasture, unploughed for over 50 years, slopes gently down to meadowland alongside Penpont Water, a tributary of the River Inny with the confluence at nearby Two Bridges. There are small areas of deciduous woodland including an atmospheric avenue of trees known as the Ladies? Walk. A few areas have been left to re-wild, offering a haven for wildlife. There are 600 metres of river frontage with fishing rights. Dramatic viewpoints are on offer over the valley towards Bodmin Moor.

LOCATION
The property is in the Parish and within a couple of miles from Altarnun, one of the most attractive villages in north Cornwall. The village church of St. Nonna is known as the "Cathedral on the Moors". The church tower is one of the tallest in the county and the attractive watercourse of Penpont Water trickles past. Village facilities in Altarnun include a Post Office and general store, county primary school, Parish Church and at five lanes the King's Head public house has an excellent local reputation for bar food. The village hall has plenty of clubs and associations including an active indoor bowls club, local amateur dramatic society, local history group, and for the younger generation a youth group and brownies. For those with outdoor interests, the rugged terrain of Bodmin Moor can be reached easily offering miles and miles of open terrain, a real haven for dog walkers, climbers, hikers and horse riders.

The A30 dual carriageway which is positioned within two miles from the property runs to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction. Regarded as the 'Gateway to Cornwall' the market town of Launceston has a range of educational, recreational, commercial and leisure facilities, as well as a Norman castle and attractive town centre. For further communications the Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately 47 miles distance, or about an hour?s drive and has a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as access to the M5 motorway, mainland rail network to London (Paddington) and further north. Exeter is served by an excellent regional international airport. The continental ferry port and city of Plymouth is approximately 28 miles from the property and again offers extensive facilities as well as regular cross channel ferry services to France and Spain.
