This home, known as Trefursdon, is believed to date back to the mid 1800’s and has a wealth of character and charm throughout, with many features including beamed ceilings, fireplaces, latched doors, deep cills and wooden and slate floors.
   
Our clients have lived in the property since 2019 and during that time have made many improvements, taking great care to ensure it is sympathetically modernised while retaining its original heritage. Examples of this work include modifying the first floor layout to provide two en-suite bedrooms, with one new en-suite added and a new Jack and Jill shower room and WC installed. This creates the opportunity for bed and breakfast accommodation to become part of everyday life. A solid roof has been added to the conservatory and a large amount of landscaping has been carried out in the garden, including the addition of many flower beds and a wildlife pond. There are a range of outbuildings and storage areas for car parking, general storage and the keeping of animals.
   
Within the grounds, the fully furnished holiday let known as Blackberry Cottage is situated within its own secure plot. It is an attractive detached building with two bedrooms, sleeping four, and is able to provide a healthy income.
   
From the front, the accommodation is accessed by a storm porch which opens into an entrance hall that also serves as a formal dining room. This dual aspect room has a slate floor and an attractive fire surround with a wooden mantel and a tiled inset open fire. The room leads to a stunning UPVC conservatory which was added in recent years, and where our vendors have since added a solid roof. A pleasant view over the gardens can be enjoyed and the conservatory is used regularly as a place to sit and relax. The dual aspect sitting room has at its centre an impressive floor to ceiling inglenook fireplace with a clome oven, slate hearth and granite lintel. The spacious farmhouse style kitchen and breakfast room is dual aspect and fitted with a range of cream fronted units with solid wood work surfaces. There is a Belfast sink with mixer taps and a large centre console unit with a solid granite top, electric sockets, cupboards and built in wine racks, providing plenty of space for the keen cook. There is space for a large cooking appliance, with an electric Everhot 120+ appliance available by separate negotiation. Included in the sale are an Aga American style fridge and freezer, a Samsung single oven, induction hob and a dishwasher. The kitchen has spot lighting, wood effect flooring and plenty of space for a large dining table, along with a window seat. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room and a downstairs shower room with WC.
   
The first floor is reached by two separate staircases, one of which serves the master bedroom suite. The extended en-suite shower room is fully tiled. The bedroom has built in wardrobes and cupboards. Bedroom two has an en-suite shower room with a large shower tray. Bedroom three is adjacent to the Jack and Jill family shower room, which is superbly appointed with a large shower cubicle. Bedroom four is also large enough to accommodate a double bed.
   
There are many modern comforts, such as oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazed windows. There is solar PV linked to the favoured feed in tariff. With private water and drainage, Trefursdon is both an efficient and sustainable home.
   
Within the grounds, the detached holiday let known as Blackberry Cottage comprises a single storey building which has been skilfully converted and provides enough room to accommodate up to four guests. Our clients have successfully let this for many years during the premium and shoulder months, but there is potential for greater occupancy. It is a well proportioned two bedroom residence with light and airy space and is fully furnished. It benefits from its own private plot and gated driveway, making it popular with guests who have dogs or young children. There is a patio with a barbecue area. The furnishings within Blackberry Cottage are available by separate negotiation. It should be noted that subject to consent from the local authority the holiday let could be utilised for ancillary accommodation and could be occupied by a dependant or an extended member of a large multi-generational family.
      
Trefursdon is approached by gated access, where plenty of parking and turning space is available on the sweeping gravel driveway. It is possible to park several cars under shelter in the large garage and barn which has double doors. The gardens are a real feature of the home and have been developed with great care by the owners. At the front, there is a well enclosed level garden that is well stocked with shrubs, bushes and perennials such as camellia and magnolia. At the rear, the grounds are well maintained and consist of large open plan lawned areas which are ideal for families with pets or children. There is a variety of small specimen trees, shrubs, bushes and perennials. Beyond the greenhouse, an orchard has apple, pear and plum trees, and adjacent to the vegetable plot with its many raised beds are a number of soft fruits such as gooseberry, redcurrant and strawberry. The wildlife pond enhances the peaceful surroundings. There are several additional sheds and stores used for purposes including laundry, keeping pets and general storage. Outside power and light are provided. An area at the back is paved and ideal for outdoor dining during the warmer months.
      
Trefursdon is located within a few miles of the villages of Coads Green and Lewannick. Coads Green has a County Primary School and Lewannick a General Store/Sub Post Office, Parish Church, a further County Primary School, Public House/Restaurant and a Village Hall. There are a wide range of private schools with Shebbear College (Beaworthy), St Joseph’s (Launceston) and Mount Kelly College (Tavistock). The ancient former market town of Launceston offers a wide range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.
   
Excellent transport links can be found in the cathedral city of Exeter by road, rail and air (Exeter International Airport) which is about 47 miles. The continental ferryport and city of Plymouth is approximately 22 miles distant and has regular cross channel services to France and Spain.
