The Property
The Property is a substantial stone built period family home located in the Parish of Altarnun, on the north-eastern edge of Bodmin Moor and offering convenient access to the A30/Launceston/Exeter/Truro as well as Plymouth/A38.

Extensively refurbished and extended in recent years, Trenilk House offers large and versatile accommodation in a peaceful and historic location with gorgeous views and is close to Altarnun which has a school, shop, post office, tea room and pub.

On the first floor are 4/5 bedrooms depending on personal requirements and all have stunning south facing views over Cornish countryside. The Master Bedroom is separate to the rest of the first floor and has a split level which is currently used as a large dressing room with a Juliette balcony but this split level arrangement could also be used for twins or as a stand alone 'flat' for a teenager wanting the feeling of independence.

The other 3 bedrooms are all doubles and the guest room features an en-suite shower room.
