OUTSIDE

‘Trugo Farm’ is approached from a long, asphalted, tree-lined driveway that is owned by the farmhouse but also serves the neighbouring barns. There is a parking area for the barns on one side and the driveway then proceeds through to the farmhouse and:-

THE BARN - 34’2” x 21’8”. Built of stone, open-fronted, with three vehicular accesses between stone and block supports. Pitched slated roof, concreted internal floors and plenty of eaves storage space. (It may well be possible to convert this to an annexe/holiday let, subject to the necessary consents). To the left hand side of the vehicular section of the barn is a further:-

STONE BARN – 15-6” x 12’6”. With a window in the gable end, exposed A-frame trusses, pitched slate roof, exposed stone walls, cobbled floor. Wooden pedestrian door to the front. Between this barn and the farmhouse is a section of cut granite walling with a pedestrian wooden gate, opening into the garden. Beside the barn is a strip of lawn and a five-bar timber gate which opens onto the rear pavioured courtyard and provides access to the back door. A further pair of twin opening doors opens onto:-

THE TRAP HOUSE – 17’2” x 7’9”. Attached to the main house under a mono-pitch slated roof with side window providing natural light. Exposed stone walls, cobbled flooring.

On the other side of the courtyard, a further wooden door opens onto the fuel/bin store which has a trap door on one side, concreted flooring, exposed stone walls and a pitched, slated roof.

To the left of the barn, is a vehicular access which proceeds through a further five-bar timber gate, hung between wooden pillars with a pedestrian gate to one side, onto a grass track that runs along the top boundary of the property providing access to a:-

TRACTOR SHED – 20’10” x 12’3”. Built of stone, (open bay fronted) with a pitched corrugated roof. Attached to the back of this is a:-

GARAGE/VEHICLE STORE – 21’3” x 13’. Partially built of concrete block with corrugated sides and roofing. Open vehicular access to the front.

The grass track proceeds along the remainder of the top boundary and then back into a lower field that has been largely planted with a wide variety of specimen trees. From the grass track along the top boundary there is a pedestrian path with a wooden gate hung between granite pillars returning to the formal gardens adjacent to the house.

THE GARDENS

The gardens surrounding the house are an absolute delight, being mature and landscaped, with a wide variety of shrubs, flowers and trees. Within the gardens is a raised flower bed with ornamental pond and water feature, whilst adjacent to the house is a large patio area that backs onto the wall dividing the main barn from the house, thus providing an excellent degree of privacy. The gardens form the perfect setting for this extremely attractive and imposing farmhouse, with boundaries that comprise high hedging and trees providing screening yet leaving the open countryside views available to the farmhouse.

In one corner of the gardens a metal vehicular gate returns to the tree-planted paddock, in one corner of which is a disused swimming pool with block-built pump house that would have originally housed the filtration and pumping equipment for the pool. It may well be possible to resurrect the pool, although some remedial work would be required and new filtration/pumping equipment. From the tree-planted paddock, a further metal vehicular gate opens onto a:-

LARGE FIELD of approximately 7½ acres which follows the tree-lined approach road down towards the country lane. Beyond this field, is a SECOND FIELD of some 1½ acres, which completes the land holding for ‘Trugo Farm’. The farm is registered with DEFRA, with the holding number being 07/094/0162.

In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 11½ acres together with a range of outbuildings.
