Ref: LCAA6524 £279,950 Corner Cottage, Trevarren, St Columb Major, Cornwall FREEHOLD A particularly attractive, broad double fronted, detached 3 bedroomed cottage with a beautiful interior, very private rear garden, parking and garage in an immensely convenient location. Ideal as a main or holiday home close to the north coast surfing beaches and centrally positioned between Truro, Newquay, St Austell and Wadebridge. 2 Ref: LCAA6524 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: porch, beamed ceilinged large sitting room with wood burning stove, kitchen/dining room opening to the garden. First Floor: landing, 3 bedrooms, bath/shower room. Outside: 2 driveways giving off road parking for 2 cars and access to the detached garage, well stocked small front garden and larger private lawned rear garden with numerous specimens and a brick paved patio. DESCRIPTION Corner Cottage is an extremely pretty, broad double fronted, detached period cottage with a protruding pitched roofed porch set centrally to the front with wisteria growing to its side. The cottage has been subject to a drastic renovation only about 4 years ago and is now offered in superb order throughout. The property is initially entered through the porch with space for coats and shoes to either size with a further glazed door then opening into a large painted beamed ceilinged sitting room with modern sash style double glazed windows fitted with colonial shutters as found throughout much of the cottage. To one end of the room is a bookcase and decorative fireplace whilst to the other is a further fireplace with a woodburning stove. Stairs rise to the 3 Ref: LCAA6524 first floor and an opening leads through to a delightful kitchen/dining room with cream country style units under wood worktops and French doors opening to the rear garden. On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms and a very long single bedroom, all of which have windows to the front. The part galleried landing also gives access to a period style bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower. The majority of the garden space is to the rear where it is secluded by well established boundary hedging and well positioned specimen trees and bamboo. A raised level lawn overlooks a sheltered paved patio outside of the kitchen/dining room and the same brick paved steps rise up to the rear driveway and a detached garage which is the only part of the property that would benefit from some work. To the front is an additional parking space although there is unrestricted on road parking and to the side and front there are further planted areas and space for composting, drying clothes or wood storage. Corner Cottage is a delightful home that would suit perfectly as a lock-up and leave bolthole, holiday let or as a main home. LOCATION The hamlet of Trevarren is found in countryside yet is less than a mile from the A39 Atlantic Highway which links to the main A30 giving easy access to all parts of Cornwall and, at Exeter, to the M5 motorway. Trevarren Woolas lies about 2 miles to the south of the small Cornish town of St Column Major which was once a particularly important trading town and boasts some very fine period buildings along with schooling and a full range of day to day services. The north Cornish coast at Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth is little more than 5 miles away and Newquay airport is within a 10 minute drive. The location is at the ‘gateway’ to what has emerged over the past few years as one of the most favoured and ‘high profile’ parts of Cornwall. To the west are magnificent sandy bathing and surfing beaches including Lusty Glaze, Watergate Bay, Trenance, Porthcothan and, to the north, by Trevose Head are Harlyn Bay and Trevone. Padstow, Rock, Trebetherick and Polzeath around the mouth of the Camel Estuary are found to the north, with its sheltered waters ideal for dinghy sailing, windsurfing and many other 4 Ref: LCAA6524 watersports. There are golf courses at Newquay, a championship course at Trevose and St Enodoc at Rock. Trevarren is positioned between Newquay, Wadebridge, St Austell and Truro giving simple access to a huge variety of services and facilities. The Cathedral City of Truro, about 12 miles away, is Cornwall’s capital and offers a superb range of shopping and business facilities, a theatre and private schooling. The nearby large town of Newquay is famed for its excellent surfing beaches and also has a full range of facilities including supermarkets. A mile away is a branch railway station at St Column Road which links to the main Penzance to Paddington line with London being a little over 4 hours away.
