General Comments - Tregidgeo House is situated in an unspoilt countryside setting. This charming Cornish farmhouse dates back several hundred years and was a working farm until the late 1990s. The house has a fascinating history and has clearly been extended numerous times since its original form. There are at least four different periods of the building with the most recent extension added in the Victorian era.
The house has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment in recent years and has been carefully restored and is now presented to the highest of standards. Tregidgeo House is a property of unique charm and character and one of the most desirable homes in this part of the county.
The Property - The beautifully presented accommodation extends to almost 4,000 square feet and offers six bedrooms, the master with dressing room and three with en-suites as well as a family bathroom to the first floor. The current owners have transformed the living space creating a modern family room which is open plan with a stunning kitchen with Aga and all opening to the gardens.
Furthermore there is a sitting room as well as an entrance porch and a splendid galleried reception hall which is a magnificent feature of the property. Furthermore there is a separate utility room and shower room to the ground floor.
There are two gated entrances into the property which provide access to the house and grounds. There is ample parking as well as various outbuildings including a former piggery, general purpose outbuilding and a former cow shed which offer huge potential subject to consents.
The grounds extend to just under 2 acres and comprise fabulous lawned gardens with mature hedging and trees, vegetable beds, and wild flowers.
History - Records suggest that the property has been of significance for hundreds of years with mention made as early as 1415 when it was the birthplace of Ralph Tregisiou, who became the Dean of Exeter. Tregidgeo has seen many different owners one of whom was a branch of the Tremayne family of Heligan. John Tremayne bought Tregidgeo in 1750 along with two other farms in the parish for £752. It remained part of the Tremayne estate until it was sold in 1890 to Mr Roberts whose family continued to farm the land for more than a century. The house is interesting with evidence of an early, original house still existing within the overall building and possibly dating from the 16th or early 17th century. It is a fascinating house full of interest and steeped in history and with echoes of grandeur which are a testimony to a bygone era.
