- For Sale
Nestled in the beautiful and historic community of Trinity, the Bartlett Manor is an early 20th century four bedroom home, in Cottage style with hip roof, that has undergone extensive renovations while retaining the original Newfoundland character. Situated in the heart of the community, this home once operated as a four-star Canada Select accommodation and would be ideal for someone who wants a seasonal home with a rental income stream. Alternatively, it would be an ideal year round residence. There is public right of way access to Fisher Cove across the street so bring your kayaks and enjoy the 24 miles of coastline in Trinity Harbour.
Trinity is one of the earliest communities in Newfoundland to be settled by Europeans, with most settlers having emigrated from the South of England. In the 1500’s, there was a migratory fishery underway and in 1615, Sir Richard Whitbourne held the first Court of Admiralty in Trinity. Trinity Harbour was described in the 1689 English Pilot as “the best and largest harbour in all the land”.
The architecture of the historic structures, public and private, is simply outstanding. Property owners have undertaken significant restoration utilizing the skilled local craftsmen / contractors.
The renowned Skerwink Trail, rated by Travel and Leisure Magazine as one of the top 35 trails in North America and Europe, is located just across the harbour.
