Trenoweth House is an important Grade II Listed former vicarage in a grand Gothic style, set near centrally in its expansive grounds. The house was purchased by a nationally acclaimed multi award winning architect in a complete state of disrepair to the point where the grounds were impassable and there was even a tree growing in through one of the windows! The house and its three cottages have all now been sensitively renovated to ensure that the original features are very much at the forefront although, where appropriate, stunning contemporary design has been introduced including sheer walls of veneered wood, superb bath and shower rooms and high end bespoke kitchens.

The main house now provides over 5,000sq.ft. of unique and dramatic accommodation including three formal reception rooms, a glass roofed kitchen and a staggering grand dining hall which is open over two storeys all the way up to a vaulted ceiling above with unmolested stone walls and numerous window openings. The accommodation over the first and second 4 Ref: LCAA7418 floors currently provides six double bedrooms, five bath or shower rooms and a huge games room with views from many of these spaces stretching for miles over the surrounding countryside to rugged west Cornwall in the distance. In addition, there is a further linking room at ground floor with a staircase up to a self-contained room over and both of these have potential for numerous different uses.

The three cottages have been created from the former coach house and other stone outbuildings which were uncovered in the grounds. The Coach House is the largest of the three and was evidently built to be an impressive addition to the original house with matching granite window surrounds and a wide granite opening for the coach. The open-plan layout now has a mix of stone and wood lined walls, a cobbled floor and a bespoke contemporary kitchen with two bedrooms on the first floor using a bathroom and separate shower room. Both Woodsman’s Cottage and Gardener’s Cottage are almost identical in external and internal appearance with overshot roofs to the front, impressive stone chimneystacks and slightly over tall stone gable ends. Inside could not be more different though as they are completely lined with light wood including the floors and ceilings and provide huge open-plan kitchen/living/bedroom spaces with separate concealed shower rooms. To allow continued letting and ease of purchase, our client is prepared to sell Trenoweth House and its cottages with the majority of the contents included.

Trenoweth House, its cottages and grounds have been given a complete new lease of life allowing history and modernity to meld perfectly creating what many would consider to be the perfect country house set in untouched rolling countryside.

LOCATION

Trenoweth House is in a very accessible location with the to and Camborne to Helston roads both nearby and from them quick access is gained to the main south and north coast roads linking to , St Ives and Carbis Bay, Falmouth, and both the Land’s End and Lizard peninsulas. The famous harbourside town of St Ives is known for its numerous galleries including the Tate St Ives and it sits at one end of a 4 mile wide stretch of golden sand reaching around to Godrevy Lighthouse and providing wonderful surfing and kite surfing opportunities. To the south is linking to the National Trust owned St Michael’s Mount over a tidal causeway and, close to Helston, is the picturesque harbour village of which has recently 5 Ref: LCAA7418 welcomed the opening of a Rick Stein seafood restaurant. These engaging waterside locations are within a 15- 20 minute drive.

There are village stores close by at both Praze and Leedstown as well as numerous pubs in the locality including at the beautiful village of Godolphin Cross close to the Godolphin House National Trust Estate which has walks through woodland and over Godolphin Hill from where both coasts can be seen. Also nearby is the National Trust owned Penrose Estate set around Loe Pool, Cornwall’s largest lake and stretching down to the sea at Loe Bar.

A much larger array of facilities can be found at the near equidistantly located Helston, Camborne and Hayle which between them have out of town supermarkets, numerous shops and a full range of services. The recently opened Marks & Spencer, Next and Boots trading estate outside of Hayle is also just a short distance away, as are various farm shops including the highly regarded Trevaskis at Connor Downs where there is also a restaurant.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over a long driveway with courtesy lighting. The house and cottages are not visible from the start of the drive as they are set well into the extensive grounds. Generous parking is provided to the front of the house and near the cottages.

The gardens have been rejuvenated in the same style as the house as they were completely overgrown to the extent that a further stone outbuilding at the bottom of the walled garden was not known to exist until clearing started and this offers further opportunity for renovation. Below the house is a broad sweeping lawn edged with magnificent trees and overlooked by a formal raised garden across the face of the building designed to replicate the original style of the garden when the house was built. The house and garden face south west to the rear 15 Ref: LCAA7418 and nestled between the edge of the woodland to the south and the lawn is a large swimming pond with a central island and jetty, fed by a tributary of the Hayle River. To the north west of the grounds is a very large walled garden that was originally the fruit and vegetable garden but is now a further large lawn dotted with young trees overlooked by Gardener’s Cottage and Coach House with an archway through a high stone wall to a courtyard outside of Woodsman’s Cottage where there are covered wood stores.

Around the fringes of the grounds are shallow areas of woodland helping to provide privacy and shelter with the whole extending to about 3⅔ areas.
