PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Tregastick barns are in a rural location in the heart of unspoilt countryside close to the end of a long privately owned driveway (Tregastick Lane) leading off the B3252 Liskeard to Looe road. The picturesque and well known fishing port and family resort of Looe on the South Cornish coast is 4 miles to the south and here one can enjoy a wide variety of shops, restaurants and bars, as well as scholastic facilities to A-level standard, doctors, dentists and veterinary surgeries. The market town of Liskeard, which also provides similar amenities, is 4 miles to the north and access to the A38 trunk road is 1 mile.
The A38 connects with the cathedral cities of Truro to the west and Plymouth and Exeter to the east. It is 11 miles to the Tamar Bridge with the City of Plymouth a further 5 miles, and here there are excellent communication points. The mainline railway station has services to Exeter and on to London Paddington. The airport has flights to many UK destinations and the cross channel ferry port has regular services to Northern France and Spain.
Coastal beauty spots such as the fishing harbour at Polperro, Seaton and Cawsand Bay are all within easy reach and one can enjoy many miles of coastal footpath along some of the most picturesque and dramatic coastline in the British Isles.
Tregastick barns are immediately to the east of the listed Great Tregastick Farmhouse and to the south of North Park Farm. There are several adjacent properties also served by the lane. In addition to the main barn there is a second dilapidated barn and a workshop. The current planning permission covers conversion of the second barn into garages, car ports and an office/store.
The main barn is a large and most attractive 'L-shaped' traditional detached single storey stone and slated barn in an attractive rural setting, enjoying fantastic countryside views to the south, and also to the east as far as Dartmoor. The barn is situated within grounds of approximately 1.4 acres bounded by fencing and hedges.
The existing internal dimensions are 70' x 16' with a further 17' x 16' in the short leg, and the barn is believed to have been built in the mid-19th Century of traditional stone random rubble construction under a natural slate roof with timber lintels and a rock floor. The barn has been redundant for a number of years and the current planning permission for residential conversion was granted in July 2017 under application number PA17/03339 which may be viewed at the local council offices.
The permission includes for:

conversion of the south end of the barn to two storeys and a two storey extension to the east end of the short leg to provide a lounge, dining room, kitchen-breakfast room and utility room downstairs and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs,

conversion of the north leg to provide an entrance hall, a large double bedroom with en-suite facilities, a second double bedroom, and a family bathroom,

in the north leg, use of all of the five existing door and window openings to provide natural light to every room,

in the south leg, use of the existing door openings facing north and extensive enlargement of those in the lounge and dining room which face south

the incorporation of roof-lights into the west facing roof slope and larger velux windows in the south facing slope.

Externally, the field contains a dilapidated barn adjacent to the lane and an existing workshop. The permission provides for the main entrance gates to be located between the workshop and the barn, and for the barn to be converted and extended to provide two large garages, two covered car ports, and an office/store. Areas of driveway between the entrance from the lane and the main barn will provide plentiful turning and off-road parking.
