The location of Old Trewithen is superb - being very quiet and rural yet just a couple of miles from Padstow and within a mile of St. Merryn village. The house and grounds enjoy fabulous panoramic views over the surrounding countryside including a superb view over Harlyn Bay in the distance. Thought to have been built in the 17th Century surprisingly Old Trewithen is not listed and has many wonderful period features and handsome stone elevations underneath a natural slate roof. It is the original farmhouse to Trewithen Farm which has been separated and whilst very private and quiet it is not totally isolated as there are neighbouring properties.

The house is beautifully presented throughout and retains many period features including fabulous slate flagged floors in the kitchen/breakfast room, deep fireplaces, exposed beams and two staircases. The accommodation has a conventional layout over two floors with spacious hallways and landings with three good size reception rooms, superb family farmhouse style kitchen/dining room with aga, inglenook fireplace and clome oven, bathroom and utility room. On the first floor are five double bedrooms the master has an en-suite shower room and dressing room, large family bathroom and all rooms have wash hand basins. The house is double glazed throughout with oil fired stoves providing heating.

Old Trewithen is found at the end of a quiet country lane and approached through a wooden five bar gate into a private driveway which leads up to the Farmhouse. The front garden is mainly level lawn with many mature shrubs and plants and there is ample parking. The driveway continues along the side of the house to the rear stables where there is stabling for 5 horses. Beyond this is the land which extends to approximately 11 acres being mature pasture and gently sloping ideal for horses and split into three enclosures. There is a further sunken garden to the side of the farmhouse which provides a pleasant sitting out area.

The sale of Old Trewithen provides a very rare opportunity to purchase a quality period home in an area where properties seldom come onto the open market. An early internal viewing is absolutely essential.

Old Trewithen is approximately one and a half miles from St. Merryn village which has an excellent range of village facilities including post office, serveral public houses, doctors surgery, garage, butchers, bakery, newsagents etc. Padstow is very accessible and is very popular with locals and tourist alike. It has a very picturesque harbour on the north Cornish coast with many shops, restaurants and of course is home to Rick Stein. There are plenty of water sports available on the Camel Estuary.
