Features and description

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Detached character farmhouse
  • For renovation/re development (stc)
  • Three/four bedrooms
  • Gardens and parking
A characterful detached farmhouse in need of improvement - ripe for renovation or possible replacement (subject to consent). Quiet hamlet location. Sold with no onward chain.

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.
