DESCRIPTION An exceptional Grade II Listed farmhouse retaining a wealth of period features, including granite fireplaces, exposed beams and oak parquet flooring, all complemented by a distinctive entrance dating back to 1586. The property is accompanied by an extensive range of traditional outbuildings, including a former cider cellar, apple loft, bank barn, stable and substantial workshops, offering considerable scope for restoration and diversification. Planning approval has been granted for a two bedroom annex, providing an exciting starting point for further development. With established gardens, extensive garaging and potential for additional residential, leisure or commercial uses. The property presents a rare opportunity to create a truly individual country home. All proposed works and changes of use will be subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents.
ACCOMMODATION The farmhouse provides four bedrooms, together with an additional office or potential fifth bedroom, and offers comfortable accommodation within a characterful historic setting. The entrance hall leads to a sitting room with an open slate fireplace, while the principal living room provides generous lounge and dining areas centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with an oak mantel and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen and dining room features a beamed ceiling, tiled flooring, built-in window seating and a fitted Shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances. A rear porch, utility room and cloakroom provide useful everyday facilities, with original slate flooring and shelving adding further character.
On the first floor, the bedrooms enjoy small pane windows, exposed beams, built-in storage and, in several rooms, southerly views across the gardens. The accommodation is completed by a family shower room and separate WC. While the house offers a practical basis for occupation, prospective purchasers may wish to consider sympathetic refurbishment and modernisation to enhance the accommodation and reveal its full potential, with all works subject to the appropriate consents.
OUTSIDE AND GARDENS The grounds extend to approximately 1.92 acres and combine landscaped gardens, mature planting, orchard, woodland, sweeping driveway and extensive yard areas. Established lawns are complemented by mature Camellias and Rhododendrons, an impressive Tulip tree, Magnolia grandiflora and Wisteria adjoining the farmhouse. A spring-fed stone pond provides a focal point within the terraced garden, while the orchard contains traditional Westcountry fruit trees, including apples, cherries and Bullis plums. A Grade II Listed well in the lower garden further emphasises the historic character of the estate.
OUTBUILDINGS The extensive range of traditional outbuildings is a defining feature of Tredivett, offering considerable scope for restoration and alternative uses. The buildings include a former cider cellar with apple loft above, now used for workshop and storage, a double garage with mezzanine storage, a two storey bank barn with threshing floor and an adjoining former stable and loft. The bank barn currently provides garaging, storage and a versatile multipurpose room, while the former stable incorporates a woodworking workshop and an upper floor hospitality room with a wood-burning stove. Planning approval has been granted for the conversion of part of the stable to a two bedroom annex, offering exciting potential for independent accommodation.
A substantial former cattle building has been converted into a steel framed workshop with electric roller shutter doors, modern lighting, workbench and sink, providing excellent space for workshop, storage or specialist business use, subject to consents. A log store and additional yard space complete the facilities. Together, these Grade II Listed buildings present an exceptional opportunity to create additional residential accommodation, leisure space or complementary commercial facilities. Any proposed works or changes of use will require a sensitive approach and the appropriate planning and listed building consents.
