A block of approximately 125.84 acres of productive arable and pasture land along with some lower lying land, with a central access track and substantial farm building.

OFFERS TO BE RECEIVED BY MIDDAY TUESDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2022.

PROPERTY
The land, forming one lot of a 175 acre farm available for sale as a whole or in lots, is located to the north and east of the farmhouse and buildings area, positioned on the northern side of the valley, consisting of level fields with a gentle southerly aspect, running down to the headwaters of the River Allen. A central access track allows access to all fields, the land to the north being predominantly arable, to the south being predominantly pasture, with an area of lower lying land and small wood on the southern boundary, ideal for wildlife and habitat purposes.

Currently farmed on an extensive basis, the land is classed as Grade 3 on the Agricultural Land Classification System with the Cranfield Soilscapes database classing them as freely draining slight acid loamy spoils which are usually associated with arable and grassland land use. The soils are noted as being suitable for a range of spring and autumn sown crops, grassland use having a long grazing season, and with free drainage reducing the risk of soil damage from of grazing animals or farm machinery.

Included within this lot is a large steel framed aircraft hanger style farm building, 18.5m x 22m in size with high eaves and roof as you would imagine from a hanger building. Situated adjacent to the access track, it is in an ideal location for a replacement building should buyers so wish. Some land features towards the east of the land indicate historic mining activity may have been present on the land, as is common across Cornwall, however there has been no impact on recent farming operations as a result.

The land forms part of a 175 acre farm available as a whole or in 5 lots. The farm consists of the following lots:

Lot 1: Trevalso Farmhouse, gardens and two paddocks, totalling approximately 1.74 acres.

Lot 2: Range of traditional barns, modern farm building and paddock, totalling approximately 1.46 acres, with consent to convert into 5 dwellings.

Lot 3: Approximately 125.84 acres of arable, pasture and lower lying land, with a central access track and substantial farm building.

Lot 4: Approximately 18.42 acres of arable and pasture land in three fields, located close to the farmhouse, with individual road access.

Lot 5: Approximately 28.46 acres of pasture land, lower lying land and woods in three fields, with individual road access.

From Truro, take the A39 north towards the A30. Just past the turning for Trispen turn left onto the country road towards Truthan. Pass through Truthan, at the T-junction turn left and continue along the road. After Tolcarne Farm follow the road round to the right.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
