LOCATION
Located betwen the rural hamlets of Gwennap and Pulla Cross, accessed by a short stretch of public highway which takes you to the farm entrance, the property is fantastically well positioned for all necessary services and amenities, whilst retaining its rural appeal.

The desirable nearby villages of Frogpool/Cusgarne (0.7 miles), Perranwell Station (2.0 miles) and Ponsanooth (2.1 miles) all have distinct communities and between them provide 3 primary schools, various pre-schools/nurseries, 3 well-respected pubs, post office, village stores, train station and several village halls and playing fields along with a garage, hair salon and other useful services.

The property is also positioned equidistant, approximately 5-7 miles, between the conurbations of the city of Truro, Falmouth/Penryn and Redruth/Camborne. Each area has their own sense of identity and together provide a wide array of education and schooling, administrative, employment, retail, industrial opportunities along with ecclesiastical, cultural, leisure and sporting facilities. A bus service between Truro and Redruth runs past the property.

Positioned in central Cornwall a few miles from the recently upgraded A30, North Tresamble Farm has the ability to access all that Cornwall has to offer, from the quiet and secluded creeks and rivers of the Falmouth and Helford estuaries, ideal for sailing, paddleboarding and boating activities, to the wild and open coasts of the Lizard peninsula and north coast with surfing and coastal walking opportunities.

The area around North Tresamble Farm is also unusual in the scale and extent of public rights of way suitable for walking, running, cycling and horse riding, a result of the historic mining in the area that remains a source of fascination and intrigue. The right of way network runs over the land and provides excellent access to the popular Bissoe Trail, a multi-use trail that connects the north and south coasts of Cornwall at Portreath and Devoran.

HISTORY
North Tresamble Farm holds a fascinating history that predates the existing early 19th century buildings currently on site.

A hand-written map and survey of the Barton of Tresamble in 1691 mentions the farm in the former name of Tresamwell as existing in 1351. In 1691 the Tudor style manor house was situated within an orchard which is now a paddock to the rear of the modern farm buildings and there are only a couple of original carved stones remaining “which alone attest the former grandeur of the place. The present homestead and farm buildings stand in the Hill Field”.

In 1840 the farm (of 54 acres) belonged to the Bassett family, leased to Elisha Hitchens, and has remained relatively unchanged since this date, the farm now being only a marginally smaller acreage.

Of additional interest is the naming of the daffodil Narcissus Tresamble, a charming dwarf daffodil featuring ivory-white petals and a cream-colored cup and producing large, multi-headed flowers on sturdy stems resistant to weather conditions. An heirloom Narcissus, it was classified in 1930.

The farm provides an increasingly rare opportunity to own a well located, ring-fenced farm, located in a quiet, picturesque rural setting with a substantial range of undeveloped traditional and modern buildings, without onerous designations, that allows owners enormous flexibility and scope to redevelop or use as they wish.


PROPERTY
Centred around the traditional courtyard of
the farm and with a secondary access via
the modern top yard area, these buildings
provide an ideal opportunity to develop at
least one substantial residential property,
with scope for additional dwellings should
buyers wish (subject to obtaining the
necessary consents). The Lot extends to a
total of 0.47 acres.

At the core of the Lot is a large 2-storey barn
in excellent structural condition that has
obtained a positive pre-application response
from Cornwall Council for conversion
into a dwelling, having been granted full
consent in 1999 for use as a 3 holiday
letting units, including the conversion of
the Workshop (number 3 on the building
plan) in addition. Extending to over 1000
sq ft (approx.) of floor area over 2 floors,
positioned overlooking the land and with the
footprint of a former single storey building
immediately adjacent, it is clear to see
that this could make a stunning dwelling
in its own right, with its own access and
privacy away from the original farmhouse. In
addition, the scope of further development
of the ancillary buildings is substantial, which
include stables, kennels and a traditional
workshop surrounding the original
courtyard, and more modern commercial
buildings and garages surrounding the top
yard which benefits from its own access.
Some of these ancillary buildings were
included in the 1999 planning consent.

Further details of the buildings are detailed
in the brochure.

METHOD OF SALE
Available as a whole, the sale is to be by private treaty (normal sale process).

An additional Lot, consisting of a farmhouse, modern and traditional farm buildings and land totalling 49.48 acres, is available, as detailed in the brochure.

TENURE & POSSESSION

PLANNING
