Summary - GREAT TREHILLS, PLYMOUTH, TAMERTON FOLIOT PL5 4LL
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Period farmhouse with barns, paddock, wildlife lake and scope for conversion near Plymouth.
Grade II listed early 18th-century detached house with many period features
Four bedrooms, three reception rooms; recently fitted family bathroom
Large L-shaped traditional barn ≈4,000 sq ft — conversion potential (consents required)
Approximately 3 acres: paddock, wildlife lake, mature hedging and private setting
Mixed services: mains water/electricity, septic tank drainage, night storage heating
Heating: oil-fired Rayburn plus electric immersion; modern heating upgrade likely needed
Very slow broadband; may limit reliable homeworking without alternative solutions
No onward chain; freehold tenure, ample off-street parking and storage
This distinctive Grade II period house sits in about three acres of Devon countryside, set around a granite-cobbled courtyard and approached by a gated drive. The main house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and an abundance of intact period features including inglenook fireplaces, beamed ceilings and decorative Victorian tiles. The plan is comfortable and flexible for family living, with a recently installed bathroom and useful utility spaces.
The wider farmstead includes substantial traditional barns (circa 4,000 sq ft over two floors), workshops, garage and general-purpose buildings which present genuine conversion or income potential subject to listed-building consents. A paddock surrounds a central wildlife lake, with mature hedging and tree screening giving a private, rural aspect while remaining within striking distance of Tamerton Foliot and Plymouth.
Practicalities to note: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will be constrained and require specialist consent. Services are mixed — mains water and electricity, septic tank drainage, night storage heating plus an oil-fired Rayburn for hot water — and broadband is very slow, which may affect remote working. The sale is freehold and offered with no onward chain.
This home will suit buyers seeking characterful rural living with scope to adapt outbuildings, and those prepared for a listed-property project and modernisation works. It is less suitable for purchasers wanting a fully modernised, low-maintenance home with fast broadband immediately in place.
