3 bedroom detached house for sale

A Grade II Listed thatched house of outstanding character with south facing walled garden and widespread views over the Lynher Estuary. 3 receptions, kitchen with Aga, office, 3 double bedrooms, bathroom, extensive parking, delightful gardens.

Location

The property lies on the edge of the scattered hamlet of Trehan, about a mile beyond the western outskirts of the town of Saltash and in notably unspoilt countryside. The little known and remarkable area, by-passed by through traffic, is punctuated by the historic Trematon and Ince Castles and the manor house of Shillingham. The waterside areas of Antony Passage and Forder lie within about half a mile. The views from this gently south facing position are extraordinary, spanning the wide Lynher Estuary to the coastal hills beyond including the landmarks of Maker Church and Antony House in the distance.

The extensive facilities of Saltash are comprehensive, including a Waitrose store on it's outskirts. There is also an active waterfront with a sailing club, deep water moorings and slipways.
