DESCRIPTION

Cottages are very rarely available for sale within the Conservation Area of this sought after and unspoilt coastal village. Trewin Cottage is a particularly desirable example of one of the handful of charming picturesque cottages for which Perranuthnoe is renowned and enjoys a lovely setting, with the asset of a sunny courtyard garden at the end of which is a very useful large lean-to store/workshop which could, potentially, be improved for use as a studio subject to any necessary consents first being obtained.

The accommodation successfully blends contemporary with character; white painted walls, white painted beamed and boarded ceilings, maple kitchen, polished pine floorboards and, to the first floor, canopied ceilings of generous height and large dormer windows with hipped slate roofs. From two of the bedrooms there are views along the seashore, beach and coastline to the east. The ground floor includes a generous sized L-shaped sitting room, 3 Ref: LCAA6675 open-plan through to the dining room/kitchen, creating a spacious and very light bright area with double glazed casement windows and double glazed French doors onto the secluded courtyard garden.

The cottage has served most successfully as a second home but equally, it would make a lovely main home or holiday lettings property being a few minutes walk from a superb sandy beach. Immediate viewing is strongly advised by appointment only, please, through the sole agents.

N.B. The ground floor bathroom towards the rear corner of the cottage has two walls of single skin concrete block construction, thought to have been erected prior to 1950. A Concrete Sampling Assessment Report, dated 1997, shows the presence of Class B material to the bathroom external walls. Cornwall County Council’s guide to mundic block states the following:-

Class B – concrete contains more than 30% possible problem aggregates although appearing sound could cause potential problems. Class B and C are unmortgageable.

That being said the report dated 1997 concludes that as the affected area is small a mortgage could potentially be obtainable. However, we would advise any potential purchasers to make their own investigation and seek suitable consultative advice. In our opinion a purchaser may wish, at some future stage, to consider simply replacing this small part of the property with a two storey extension – subject to all necessary consents first being obtained.
