About this listing

GUIDE PRICE £1,200,000 TO £1,300,000 An exceptional and highly individual country residence extending to over 5,800 sq ft overall, with detached annexe, extensive ancillary accommodation, tennis court and approximately 1.9 acres, enjoying far-reaching countryside views yet remaining exceptionally accessible to Plymouth and the wider South West. Lower Trevartha is an exceptional and highly individual country residence, offering a rare combination of scale, character, versatility and accessibility. Beautifully presented throughout and set within approximately 1.9 acres of mature gardens and grounds, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding Cornish countryside. With four double bedrooms within the main house, a detached self-contained one-bedroom annexe, extensive cellars, substantial garaging and workshop facilities, generous parking and a private tennis court, Lower Trevartha provides an outstanding proposition for buyers seeking a substantial and adaptable country home. The principal accommodation extends to over 4,300 sq. ft., while the house, annexe and ancillary buildings provide an approximate combined floor area of 5,833 sq. ft. This considerable scale lends itself particularly well to family and multigenerational living, home working, entertaining and those requiring substantial ancillary, creative or hobby space. Externally, slate-hung elevations, traditional stonework and tall windows give the house a distinctive and attractive appearance, complemented by striking extensions to the kitchen/living area and sitting room, both designed to take full advantage of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Internally, original character and period detailing sit comfortably alongside high-quality contemporary finishes, creating a home that is both impressive and highly practical. An 18' entrance hallway provides a memorable introduction to the property, featuring flagstone flooring and an illuminated glazed floor panel through which the original stone cellar steps can be viewed. This combination of historic character and thoughtful contemporary design sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. One of the defining features of Lower Trevartha is its remarkable 42' sitting room. Incorporating a projecting bay and a cast-iron wood-burning stove, this substantial reception room provides an impressive yet comfortable setting for both relaxation and large-scale entertaining. A separate 16' dining room provides a more formal setting for dining and entertaining, while the generous 16' office is ideally suited to working from home. The office itself is rich in character, featuring an attractive red-brick fireplace incorporating a cast-iron wood-burning stove and traditional clome oven. At the heart of the house is the spectacular kitchen/living area, measuring approximately 22'8" x 30'1". Designed as a sociable and highly versatile space, its generous proportions comfortably accommodate cooking, dining and relaxed seating areas. Extensive glazing follows the curved outline of the room, flooding the interior with natural light and framing views across the gardens, while glazed doors provide a seamless connection to the adjoining terrace. The bespoke Charles Yorke designer kitchen forms a striking centrepiece, combining figured walnut cabinetry with Dekton work surfaces and a substantial central island incorporating a curved walnut preparation area. A statement blue electric Aga, copper-toned pendant lighting, stone columns and large-format floor tiles complete this exceptional space. Complementing the principal kitchen is a separate 13' preparation kitchen, providing valuable additional workspace and making the property particularly well suited to entertaining on a larger scale. Further practical accommodation includes a boot room with WC, a side porch and an additional welcoming 20' hallway. The first floor is arranged around a generous 12' landing and provides four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom measures approximately 13'5" x 11'6" and is served by its own 10' en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are complemented by an impressive 14' family bathroom, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, separate glazed shower enclosure and pale tiling contrasted by a deep-blue feature wall. The versatility of Lower Trevartha continues on the lower ground floor, where three substantial cellar areas provide approximately 861 sq. ft. of additional space. Together with a considerable 36' workshop, these areas offer excellent storage and practical accommodation. Access is available from both the property and driveway, with the workshop also benefiting from a generous, covered working area. Separate from the main house is a detached, self-contained one-bedroom annexe, providing excellent independent accommodation arranged entirely on one level. An entrance hallway leads into a spacious 24' kitchen/living area, with double doors opening to the outside. A generous 17' double bedroom is complemented by a shower room and separate utility room. The annexe's independence from the main residence makes it particularly well suited to accommodating guests or extended family and also provides potential for holiday accommodation or another income-generating use, subject to any necessary consents. Combined with the extensive workshop, garage and cellar space, it considerably broadens the appeal and flexibility of the property. Outside, the established gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.9 acres, providing an attractive setting from which to enjoy the surrounding Cornish countryside. The grounds incorporate generous parking, mature garden areas, terraces positioned to take advantage of the outlook and a private tennis court, creating an excellent environment for outdoor recreation, entertaining and family life. For all its rural appeal, one of Lower Trevartha's particular strength is its accessibility. The property offers the opportunity to enjoy the space, privacy and outlook associated with a substantial Cornish country residence without feeling remotely isolated. Liskeard, Menheniot railway station and the A38 are all readily accessible, while Plymouth can also be conveniently reached, making the property equally appealing as a permanent family home or a country residence for buyers relocating to Cornwall. Lower Trevartha is, in short, a genuinely distinctive home: substantial without sacrificing character, rural without being inaccessible and exceptionally versatile in the way its principal accommodation, annexe, outbuildings and grounds can be used. Its combination of period detail, high-quality contemporary additions, extensive ancillary accommodation and approximately 1.9 acres of established grounds creates a compelling country property capable of adapting to a wide variety of lifestyles and requirements.
