DESCRIPTION By any standards the availability of Tredethy House provides a unique opportunity to purchase an eleven bedroomed country house hotel, situated in an Area of Outstanding

Ref: LCAA7520 3 Beauty, believed to have been built in the Tudor times and then later extended to provide the extensive accommodation it now offers. The main house and cottage stand in over 5 acres of beautiful parkland grounds and provides large reception areas comprising a grand entrance hall/sitting room with huge fire place and several distinct sitting areas. On either side are large breakfast and dining areas with a bar and separate dining conservatory. To the rear, on the ground floor are the kitchen and work areas, commercially well equipped and of sufficient proportions to provide sufficient work space to cater for large parties and events. A magnificent stair hall with attractive period tessellated tiled flooring and a hugely impressive turning oak staircase leads up to a fully galleried landing off which are three separate secondary landing areas providing access to ten letting bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities and a family suite comprising two bedrooms, a lounge and bathroom.

Ref: LCAA7520 4 11000sq.ft. The grounds are a particular delight providing a parkland setting to this fine house, in an elevated position that provides some wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Tredethy House is set within over 5 acres of parkland grounds, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tredethy House may well lend itself to a variety of potential uses which could include continuing to be used in the way it is currently or it could revert to a large private residence, or the main house may offer potential to be divided into luxury apartments. There may also be the potential to either add lodge cottages within the grounds, or convert the main house to self-contained letting apartments with a section of owner’s accommodation or using the lodge as separate owner’s accommodation. All of these options would of course be subject to any necessary planning consents. LOCATION Tredethy House is a Grade II Listed country house of circa 17th Century origins, possibly built on the site of an earlier 15th Century house and considerably altered in 1892 to the designs of Silvanus Trevail. The barrel vaulted ceiling to the library on the first floor illustrates the quality of the earlier house and the 1892 extension provided additions to the west and across the front of the older house. During the mid 20th Century this was the home of Prince Chula of Thialand who was educated in England, married an English wife and then moved to Tredethy House in Cornwall as his primary home. Prince Chula was known for his motor racing connections and friends amongst the motor racing stars of the day and an interesting photograph was taken of Prince Chula and his collection of cars in front of Tredethy House.

Tredethy House lies within the peaceful rural hamlet of Hellandbridge which gains its name from the Grade I Listed bridge that crosses the River Camel at the bottom of the valley. Tredethy House is situated on the south east facing side of the valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and commanding some wonderful views over the wooded valley and the surrounding countryside. The network of picturesque country lanes provide access to the B3266 which links the towns of Bodmin and Camelford. Proceed north and west through the lanes provides swift access to the north Cornish

Ref: LCAA7520 5 coast and the Atlantic Ocean with the coastal resorts of Rock and Polzeath to the west and coastal villages of Port Isaac and Boscastle to the north. This area of coast provides some wonderful beaches renowned for the bathing and surfing and linked by the South West Coastal Footpath provides access to some of the most rugged and beautifully scenic walks in the county. To the south lies the A30 providing a dual carriageway link to Exeter, the M5 to Bristol and A303 to London. To the east and south the softer south Cornish coast is easily accessed, from the busy fishing port and picturesque coastal village of Looe, down to the deep natural harbour at Fowey with its associated sailing facilities. To the south the main town of Bodmin provides an excellent range of high street shops, out of town trading estates and supermarkets and a main line station which provides a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. The countryside surrounding Hellandbridge is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with some wonderful open countryside, large tracts of forestry and the picturesque valley of the River Camel. The River Camel runs under the 15th Century Grade I Listed bridge below the property and also accesses the Camel Trail which provides excellent walking, cycling or riding all the way to the town of Wadebridge and picturesque coastal village of Padstow.

The gravelled driveway sweeps into the grounds broadening in front of the house to create a large parking and turning area and then continuing across the front of the house through
