South Tregleath Farm, Washaway, Bodmin, PL30 3AA

This property is located in Washaway, a part of the Egloshayle civil parish in the PL 30 postal district of Bodmin, Cornwall.

Washaway lies within the civil parish of Egloshayle, a community that stretches southeast from the village and includes the neighbouring settlements of Sladesbridge. The parish is recorded in the 2021 census, giving a snapshot of its population and demographic profile. While the primary description of the area is drawn from the civil parish boundaries, the locality’s identity is tied to the broader Egloshayle community. The civil parish itself is part of the Duchy of Cornwall, an institution that historically held rights such as the appointment of sheriffs. The Duchy’s influence is noted in the historical context of the region, where the steward or seneschal of Cornwall often held sheriff duties. This historical backdrop provides a sense of the longstanding administrative and cultural ties that shape the character of Washaway and its surrounding villages.
