THE LANDLocated to the north of the homestead is a block of land which extends to approximately 26.7 acres (10.80 hectares) incorporated within six fields and can be further identified by reference to the map annexed to these particulars.The land has access onto the Parish road, is fenced for stock purposes and currently used for the grazing of livestock. There is also a hardcore lane to the north of the homestead which gives access to OS6741. The land is gently south facing with the exception of OS6234 which falls away to a valley known as Tremar Coombe. The land is shown on the MAFF (DEFRA) Land Classification Map of England and Wales as being Grade 3 with the exception of Quoit Field. There is a caveat on the Ministry plan stating that this is not accurate to 50 acres. There is an important archaeological feature within the most northerly field being Trethevy Quoit and the history outlined below has been extracted from the English Heritage web site. \"Trethevy Quoit is a particularly well preserved sample of a portal dolmen, a type of monument once common in Cornwall and dating to the early or middle part of the Neolithic period around 2500â3500 BC.It is far from certain that these structures were tombs rather than multi purpose shrines. The presence of the dead is no guarantee of the original usage, as it is shown by Medieval churches; these contain tombs and are surrounded by graves, yet they were built primarily as places where the living could worship.It may be that in prehistoric times the ancestral dead would consider to be mediators between the community and its gods, and that places like this were an important interface between these two worlds. These burial monuments of Britain\‘s early farming communities are among the oldest visible monuments to survive to the present day. It is probable that each community once possessed at least one such \‘house of the dead\‘. The time and energy it must have taken to build is an indication of the importance they must have been attached to them. It consists of five standing stones, mounted by a massive cap stone. The cap stone may have been designed to have been slightly tilted, but now sloped at a much steeper angle that it would have done originally, because of the most westerly of the supporting stones has collapsed and lies within the tomb chamber itself. SERVICESMains water, electricity and drainage is connected to the dwelling house. There is a mains water supply serving the larger block of land being Lot 2, but there is no water within Lot 3 (the Quoit field). TENUREThe property is offered Freehold, but the land is currently let under the provisions of the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 to Mr. W. F. Steed on a one year Farm Business Tenancy which commenced on the 1st March 2016 up to and including 28th February 2017, after which vacant possession will be obtained. The farmhouse, buildings and gardens are vacant.
