In all extending to 2.86 acres (1.16 hectares).

PROPERTY
The property sits in a peaceful setting and is accessed off a minor rural road via a private concrete driveway. The farmhouse has an attractive front elevation, with the quaint entrance porch being a key feature. It is spacious and well-proportioned, with six bedrooms to the first floor and almost 2,900 sq ft of accommodation in total. It now offers considerable potential for interested parties to modernise, as well as the opportunity to reconfigure the layout as much or as little as is desired.

Attached to the rear of the farmhouse is a store which could potentially be incorporated as part of a renovation of the house (subject to any necessary consents). Another small stone store is also attached to the side. To the front and rear of the house there are walled gardens, whilst there is also a parking area and an old outbuilding/stable building.

The house is south facing and has pleasant rural views, with the front elevation overlooking the paddock. The paddock itself lies adjacent to the entrance driveway and is separated from the rest of the property by a post and rail fence. A pretty stream also borders the eastern boundary of the property.

LOCATION
Occupying a secluded position, the property is situated in the rural hamlet of Tilland, where there are just a handful of other properties. It is two miles from the village of Tideford which has a nursery, park, church, butchers and public house. The village also provides a direct link to the A38 which enables easy access to the city of Plymouth, which is approximately 13.5 miles from Tilland Farm.

The property lies approximately 6 miles east of Liskeard and 6.5 miles south of Callington. Between them, the towns provide a comprehensive range of leisure and shopping facilities, supermarkets, secondary schools, colleges, veterinary practices and a hospital. The nearby villages of Menheniot, St Germans and Landrake provide local primary schools, whilst St Germans also provides a railway link to Plymouth, which in turn provides a direct mainline service to London Paddington in approximately 3.5 hours.
