INFORMAL TENDER DEADLINE - FRIDAY 10TH JANUARY 2025 AT MIDDAY (12PM).
A smallholding with an attractive large farmhouse in need of modernisation, situated in a tranquil location, yet within easy reach of the A38.
Tilland Farm comprises a large, unlisted, six bedroom farmhouse, with views overlooking its own land and bordered by the River Tiddy. The farmhouse is now in need of modernisation and offers tremendous scope for a purchaser to put their own stamp on the property. The property lies in a rural hamlet location yet is situated just two miles northwest of the A38. The property is sold with the benefit of no onward chain.
In all extending to 2.86 acres (1.16 hectares).
For sale by private treaty.
PROPERTY The property sits in a peaceful setting and is accessed off a minor rural road via a private concrete driveway. The farmhouse has an attractive front elevation, with the quaint entrance porch being a key feature. It is spacious and well-proportioned, with six bedrooms to the first floor and almost 2,900 sq ft of accommodation in total. It now offers considerable potential for interested parties to modernise, as well as the opportunity to reconfigure the layout as much or as little as is desired.
Attached to the rear of the farmhouse is a store which could potentially be incorporated as part of a renovation of the house (subject to any necessary consents). Another small stone store is also attached to the side. To the front and rear of the house there are walled gardens, whilst there is also a parking area and an old outbuilding/stable building.
The house is south facing and has pleasant rural views, with the front elevation overlooking the paddock. The paddock itself lies adjacent to the entrance driveway and is separated from the rest of the property by a post and rail fence. A pretty stream also borders the eastern boundary of the property.
LOCATION Occupying a secluded position, the property is situated in the rural hamlet of Tilland, where there are just a handful of other properties. It is two miles from the village of Tideford which has a nursery, park, church, butchers and public house. The village also provides a direct link to the A38 which enables easy access to the city of Plymouth, which is approximately 13.5 miles from Tilland Farm.
The property lies approximately 6 miles east of Liskeard and 6.5 miles south of Callington. Between them, the towns provide a comprehensive range of leisure and shopping facilities, supermarkets, secondary schools, colleges, veterinary practices and a hospital. The nearby villages of Menheniot, St Germans and Landrake provide local primary schools, whilst St Germans also provides a railway link to Plymouth, which in turn provides a direct mainline service to London Paddington in approximately 3.5 hours.
METHOD OF SALE The property is offered for sale by private treaty.

The next steps...
1
Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
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.
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.
