The Annexe
About 30 years ago the comfortable one bedroom single storey annexe known affectionately as “The Cottage” was converted from a former studio. This offers open plan lounge/kitchen/dining room space with impressive ‘A’ frame ceilings; an electric cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer are included in the sale. The large double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and an en- suite shower room/WC with electric shower. It has been used as both a holiday let deriving valuable supplementary income and could accommodate overflow family members if required. Our clients inform us that it is fully compliant in terms of regulations for holiday use. It has its own south facing enclosed terraced garden. At the back of the cottage is a useful store which is about the size of an average single garage.

The grounds at Little Trenarrett in all comprise of 2.4 acres and are a major feature of the property being extensive, private, south facing and well enclosed and perfect for those with pets or children to consider. There are many spaces in which to sit outside and relax enjoying a meal whilst taking in the colourful sights of the gardens. There are many attractive shrubs and bushes, the gardens have two wooden cabins with electricity, the larger of which is used as an artist studio, the other can be used as a summer house or for general storage. The driveway is enclosed by a five bar gate and adjacent is the large double garage and an additional workshop at the side, all with power and light.

A few steps away is a further gate which leads to the main enclosure of land. Our clients have grown fine produce in the polytunnels (which in the past with a former owner we believe was part of a small nursery business), our clients have kept a range of animals on the pasture enclosures. There is an orchard well stocked with a range of fruit trees.
