The Farmhouse
Trethiggey Farmhouse is a listed Georgian
property, formerly known as Trethiggey Villa. It was originally owned
by Sir Thomas Acland, a famous and fabulously wealthy parliamentarian
and is shown on 1839 maps to have been at the head of a 200 acre estate.
Access to the farmhouse is down a private
lane that is shared with the farm. The farmhouse is set in an acre of
gardens surrounding the property, including a football field, a sandpit
and a wooded area with swings. Alongside the farmhouse in front of the
gravel parking area is a large carport installed with a table tennis table.
Trethiggey Farmhouse combines both old and
traditional elements, such as the dairy, original sandstone and slate
floors, with modern comforts, such as the well-equipped kitchen, wireless
broadband and a flat screen TV.
The farmhouse boasts a 1950s solid fuel Aga,
a multi fuel-burner in the scullery kitchen, and open fires in the two
main living rooms.
It has been luxuriously furnished to accommodate
large groups, sleeping up to 11 in the six bedrooms, each of which has
been individually and tastefully furnished. One room includes 2 sets of
bunk beds to accommodate 4 children. There are two bathrooms and three
loos in the house.
The two largest living rooms each have a very
different feeling. The first has the original sandstone floors with rugs,
an enormous sofa, flat screen television, DVD and video player, Playstation
consul, extensive video and DVD library, and an open fire. The other living
room is traditionally furnished as a drawing room, with an open fire,
wide array of board games, card table and includes an extensive library
of literary and art books.
A small study at the side of the house is
available for your use and has telephones, a fax machine/copier/printer
and free wireless broadband.
