6-bedroom traditional farmhouse, gardens and two paddocks, totalling approximately 1.74 acres.
OFFERS TO BE RECEIVED BY MIDDAY TUESDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2022.
PROPERTY Trevalso Farmhouse is a traditional 6-bedroom, double fronted house, understood to have been constructed in the 1870s. Accessed via a pretty gate with slate steps and a pathway through the front garden, adding symmetry to the front elevation, the house is elevated above the minor country road and is orientated southeast, with views over land within the farm and across the valley.
An entrance porch with stained glazing leads to a large hallway, from which the stairs to the first floor are accessed, as well as two large reception rooms, both with fireplaces. Wide, hardwood timber doors and staircases, ornate plasterwork and substantial sash windows with angled reveals provide light and a sense of grandeur that is admired and appreciated in houses from this period.
The hallway leads to the rear section of the house, which is laid out in an L-shape design, encompassing a kitchen, secondary kitchen, separate boot room, two further rooms currently used as a utility and study but able to be altered as buyer may wish, as well as a secondary staircase.
The first floor mirrors the ground floor with three bedrooms overlooking the front elevation and three further bedrooms accessed by a landing as well as a family bathroom. The ability to reorganise the layout to add en-suites, bathrooms and/or dressing rooms is clear, the second staircase allowing the rear part of the house to be used separately should buyers so wish. Windows are a mixture of uPVC double glazed and timber sash windows.
The house would benefit from modernisation to fully expose and enhance the original specification and features, any renovation plans being assisted by its nonlisted status.
Outside there are front and rear gardens as well as two paddocks, of 0.55 acres and 0.79 acres respectively, that allows the buyer of the house to control the land around the house and put it to whatever use they may wish, potentially including screening of the A30 once construction is complete.

Lot 1: Trevalso Farmhouse.
Lot 2: Range of traditional barns, modern farm building and paddock, totalling approximately 1.46 acres, with consent to convert into 5 dwellings.

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
