The space is light and bright, yet cosy and comfortable, and it strikes the perfect balance between being a tranquil rural escape and the ideal place to host, entertain and enjoy family life.”

Little Trethuan hasn’t been on the market in over 40 years, so it’s no wonder the property is garnering attention in a big way now that it’s up for grabs. With its spacious living areas and unique mix of traditional and contemporary elements, it’s a home with a lot to offer.

Steeped in History

The current owners describe Little Trethuan as being “steeped in history” and that’s certainly the case. It’s a Grade II listed building, built around 1750, with impressive architecture and a “great entertaining space.” They also note that the property stays cool in summer and warm in winter, ensuring it’s always a comfortable place to spend time.

There are three bedrooms and various living spaces at Little Trethuan - including a conservatory, family room and lounge - providing you with a lot of space to truly relax and unwind, even amidst the chaos of family life. Plus, planning permission has already been granted to extend the back for a downstairs kitchen and garden area, adding even more usable space.

Spacious and Perfect for Entertaining

A highlight of the property is the upstairs lounge, a fantastic space for entertaining and hosting. It boasts a mezzanine - which the current owners describe as being “almost a minstrels gallery” - and high ceilings, giving you somewhere to put “the world’s biggest Christmas tree” and providing a calming, tranquil feel. It’s a large space, enabling the dining area to flow into a cosy seating area seamlessly, and it’s hugely versatile. This is part of the home you will want to spend a lot of time in, whether hosting guests, celebrating an occasion or enjoying day-to-day life as a family.

When asked to choose their favourite room in the home, the current owners chose the downstairs snug and office space. It’s the perfect place to unwind, read a book, play the piano or sit by the woodburner on the fireside seats. It “wraps itself around you” and welcomes you into relaxation; the ideal place to enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding area.

Versatile Outdoor Space

There’s a lot to love about the property, but it was the outdoor space that really made the current owners fall in love with it. They mention the “beautiful frontage with roses and patterned granite, ” along with the “secluded walled rear garden, which is tranquil and a lovely space to barbeque.” In fact, they describe Little Trethuan as being a “historical garden project.”

Spending time in the garden means enjoying various wildlife, including birds and toads, and beautiful flower beds. Plus, with the greenhouse and garage providing additional space, it’s an area that really lends itself to anyone who likes gardening. It’s a secure outdoor space, with a lot of space for children and pets to explore.

Located in a village community, close to the A38 and with access to Plymouth, the property is in a prime position. It’s close to the river and has a rural feel but with good access to roads and amenities. There’s a pub, supermarket and golf course nearby, and Port Eliot, St Germans and Saltash are all within easy reach.

Chi An Littleton and Little Trethuan are offered together at a guide price of £900,000.
