DESCRIPTION Treplevna is found in the historic mining and farming hamlet of Lower Boscaswell which lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is noted for having prehistoric settlements and a Cornish Fugu. Treplevna looks out over this fascinating protected landscape to a great expanse of the Atlantic Ocean with Pendeen Lighthouse creating a focal point to one side. Paths in the vicinity lead down to the South West Coast Path which descends to Portheras Cove just beyond Pendeen Lighthouse which is a superb sandy beach well off the tourist trail. Treplevna is a gorgeous granite cottage which has then been extended to the front with a contemporary conservatory and also a single storey to the rear creating the long kitchen/dining room and the high quality bathroom. The extensions have only added a modern twist to this handsome end of terrace cottage and have not deprived it of its character. Beyond the contemporary slate floored conservatory, which enjoys complete 3 Ref: LCAA7649 privacy and looks down the long garden, is a good sized lounge with a painted beamed and boarded ceiling higher than that you would normally expect to find in a cottage. The lounge also has a woodburning stove set into an inglenook fireplace with thick granite lintel and has contemporary slate flooring which then runs through the kitchen/dining room and bathroom as well. The kitchen has an extensive array of integrated appliances fitted into painted wood fronted units under granite worktops and its broad windows look out to sea. The bathroom is done in a modern period style in fitting of the rest of the property. On the first floor are two bedrooms, the main one being to the front with an outlook over countryside, with the one to the rear looking out over the sea. This property also has a surprisingly useful and useable amount of outside space including parking and a granite faced stores on the lane side with granite walls then lining the long lawned front garden with planted beds. To the rear is a low maintenance gravelled garden with a gate opening onto paths heading down towards the coast. Treplevna is currently used as a holiday rental property and was our clients’ own holiday home whilst they lived in London, however they loved the area so much that they have recently moved to Pendeen and have decided to sell. The property is therefore sold with ongoing holiday lettings although these can be ceased from the end of September if this is more suitable for a new owner. All of the contents are included in the price allowing the purchaser to continue to use Treplevna in the same way as it has been without any disruption. Treplevna offers a new owner a spectacularly located, well furnished and already successful holiday rental property in an accessible yet remote feeling part of Cornwall with a unique nature unlike anywhere else in the British Isles. LOCATION 4 Ref: LCAA7649 The coastal hamlet of Lower Boscaswell is adjacent to Pendeen and is about a mile from Portheras Cove which is one of a few good sized beaches in the area and sits below Pendeen Lighthouse. A little known beach, it is revered by local surfers, although in calmer conditions it is ideal for families. The South West Coast Path leads away from Portheras Cove giving dramatic cliff top walks over National Trust owned land with views that have inspired artists for generations. The village of Pendeen is one of the most westerly in the British Isles and is well served for its size with a very good shop, two public houses serving food, a fish & chip takeaway, post office, hall, church and nursery. A few miles to the south is St Just, known as the last town in England, where a fuller range of facilities can be found. Only a few miles further on is Land’s End and the picturesque harbourside village of Sennen overlooking Whitesand Bay with views to the Isles of Scilly. The coastal road to the north leads to St Ives, one of Cornwall’s most popular seaside resorts, with many cafés, restaurants and art galleries set around its harbour and overlooking its surfing beaches. About 10 minutes’ drive away is Penzance which has the greatest range of services in West Cornwall, including supermarkets, the terminus for the Penzance to Paddington railway line, a local hospital and education up to college level.
