Full Details

The Property
Lower Trescowe Farmhouse is a detached, double fronted farmhouse situated within the quiet hamlet of Trescowe. The property is full of character but is now in a poor state of repair and warrants a scheme of complete renovation or possible demolition for a replacement dwelling (subject to planning consent). It is not thought that the property would be suitable for mortgage lending purposes due to its condition.
 
In all the accommodation comprises conservatory porch, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, store, hall (large enough to accommodate a home office), shower room, snug/bedroom 4 to the ground floor with three double bedrooms, bathroom and w.c. to the first floor. There is also an outside w.c..
 
There are gardens to the front and rear, with the front offering a raised terrace bound by a stone wall and beyond is a relatively level lawn with pretty flower bed. There is a TIMBER SHED/MOWER STORE on a concrete base included in the sale. To the rear is a gated driveway providing parking space for two vehicles and a further lawned garden. This area of garden would be well suited to the provision of a double garage and additional parking space if required, subject to gaining the necessary consents.

Currently connected to mains water via adjacent dwelling but the provision of water will cease on completion – we understand mains water to be in the road outside the property. Currently shared septic tank with adjacent dwelling but use of the septic tank will cease on completion and any purchaser will need to install a private drainage system. None of these services have been tested and therefore no guarantees can be given. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries to the relevant service providers.

Location
 Trescowe is a small rural hamlet positioned part way between Penzance and Helston, each being approximately 7-8 miles distant and each offering a wide range of shopping, schooling and leisure amenities including hospitals but the nearby village of Goldsithney offers everyday facilities such as a public house, convenience store and even a tea room. The stunning sandy beach of Praa Sands and the South West Coast Path are both within approximately 2 miles of the property and there are trainline connections to London (Paddington) from both Penzance and from Hayle.
