Description

Trewothack Farm presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment, centered around a 3-bedroom cottage that could be transformed into a modern family home or a lucrative rental property. The cottage, positioned within the farm's operational hub, offers panoramic views over the surrounding farmland valley, while its solid structure and potential for expansion (pending planning approval) make it an appealing choice for buyers looking to enhance value through refurbishment. Internally, the house spans approximately 1,091 square feet and currently features an entrance porch, reception room, kitchen/dining area, utility room, bathroom, and three bedrooms — two of which benefit from far-reaching vistas. Although the property requires internal modernization, it is equipped with uPVC double glazing and an oil-fired central heating system. Additionally, there is an attached concrete block lean-to serving as a garage. The accompanying dairy buildings were constructed in 2015 and comprise modern facilities that once supported commercial milking operations. Building A offers an impressive 14,700 square feet of space including a rotary parlour with advanced milking technology and office areas. Building B provides ample livestock housing with 260 cubicles and good natural ventilation. This existing infrastructure not only enhances the farm's operational capabilities but also presents opportunities for diversification or alternative agricultural ventures. Covering around 203.55 acres (82.40 ha), Trewothack Farm consists largely of Grade 2 and Grade 3 arable and pasture land. The gently sloping fields are bordered by traditional Cornish hedgerows and have previously been used for high-value crops under contract. Given its prime location on the Lizard Peninsula—recognized for its stunning landscapes and outdoor activities—the farm holds significant appeal for those looking to invest in agricultural land or explore sustainable farming practices. Accessibility to the land is excellent via well-maintained tracks suitable for heavy machinery, enhancing its usability for farming or potential development projects in line with local planning guidelines. Furthermore, with nearby amenities in Manaccan and Porthallow offering essential services alongside larger towns like Helston providing more comprehensive facilities, this location balances rural charm with convenient access to community resources. Overall, Trewothack Farm presents a compelling opportunity for investors motivated by expansion potential within both residential and agricultural realms while being situated in a desirable area known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.
