Trelawn Boarding Kennels offers a rare combination of a spacious family home, beautifully landscaped grounds, a versatile detached annexe and an established, award-winning boarding kennels business. Set within approximately two acres and surrounded by open countryside, it provides an appealing lifestyle opportunity for buyers seeking a well-presented residence with income potential, multi-generational accommodation or space to work from home. The grounds, facilities and layout make it ideal for those looking to enjoy a peaceful setting while running a successful, fully operational kennels business.
The main residence comprises a detached chalet bungalow offering generous and flexible accommodation. An L-shaped entrance hallway leads to two comfortable reception rooms, including a welcoming front lounge with a bay window, fireplace and wood-burning stove, and a spacious rear lounge with a bespoke stove, bi-fold doors to the garden and access to the dining room. The ground floor further includes a fitted kitchen with oak worktops, a double Belfast sink and a central island, which opens into a large dining area with matching slate flooring. There is also a useful study area, a fully fitted utility room and a guest shower room/WC. Two well-proportioned bedrooms can be found on this level, each enjoying pleasant natural light.
The first floor is dedicated to a generous principal bedroom with two windows overlooking the grounds. This bedroom benefits from an L-shaped dressing area and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a roll-top bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC.
The property stands within approximately two acres of land, approached by a gravelled driveway. To the rear, the bungalow enjoys private gardens with a substantial decked terrace featuring glass-panelled balustrading and a hot tub. Beyond the decking is a lawned garden with a pond and open views across surrounding fields where wildlife is frequently seen. A covered car port with timber doors provides storage for logs. Heating is supplied by oil-fired central heating.
A detached one-bedroom annexe, fully self-contained and offering open-plan living with a fitted kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, provides excellent versatility. It has previously been used as a holiday let, staff accommodation and independent living space, offering further income potential or additional family use.
The property also includes established, award-winning boarding kennel facilities, long operated by a husband-and-wife team and now offered for sale due to retirement.
A gravelled driveway leads to the main reception block, an open-fronted building housing seven secure kennels and a covered area for meeting dog owners, as well as an adjoining dog grooming room. A large detached garage with electric roller doors sits nearby and includes an adjoining isolation kennel with large run. To the north is a secure dog exercise enclosure, and beyond this lie two substantial rows of kennels providing a further twenty-two units. Between these blocks are a kennel kitchen, laundry facilities and staff amenities. A dedicated exercise paddock completes the professional setup, along with covered enclosed pens and walkways.
Altogether, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-presented home with extensive grounds, flexible accommodation and a thriving licensed boarding kennels business all set within a peaceful and picturesque rural environment.
