Treworthal, The Roseland Peninsula, Cornwall. TR2

This immensely characterful and beautifully presented five bedroom detached "Chocolate Box" style cottage, originally believed to date back some two/ three hundred years, offers very impressive and spacious accommodation and is set within impressive gardens and grounds approaching 3/4 of an acre (tbc).

This cherished and much loved property has been in the same ownership for approaching twenty years and has been sympathetically extended and updated over the years by the current owners to accommodate their growing family, including the addition by them of the fantastic oak framed barn/ double garage that is located at the end of the generous and gated carriage driveway.

The property tugs on the heart strings with its immense character and boasts three reception rooms, two with working fireplaces, a first floor study, beautiful kitchen/ breakfast room, utility room, ground floor cloak room and a boot room. The first floor accommodation offers two bedrooms with en-suite style facilities, two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a period style family bathroom.

The gardens that are surrounded on two boundaries by fields, are a real feature of this property with their parkland style grounds that are mainly laid to lawn with an array of trees including an impressive magnolia tree, flowering and fruiting cherry trees, a plum tree, cooking and eating apple trees, a phoenix style palm, a fir tree and an array of other trees.

There are various planted flower beds, some with exposed stone retaining walls, exposed cornish stone garden walls, pond with various aquatic plants and a summerhouse with glazed windows and doors.
From the bottom of the garden, an opening leads to the cottage style produce garden with various vegetable and fruit beds, a composting area and there are lovely rural views.

From the front driveway, a stone and slate pathway leads to two granite steps and the front stable door that leads to the entrance hall.

Within the slate flagged entrance hallway is the main staircase that leads to the first floor bedroom accommodation and the study. There is a second staircase at the other end of the house that also leads to the first floor accommodation.

On entering the hallway you instantly feel the WOW factor of this very beautiful old house that is packed with a wealth of period features, nooks and crannies, old fireplaces, lovely old exposed beams and timbers that if they could talk, could we're sure tell some lovely tales from the past centuries.

The hallway has a old pine latch door on its left that opens to the lounge and on the right of the hall it is open plan and naturally opens to the dining room with its slate flagstone flooring where you are drawn to the inglenook style fireplace with its inset open fronted wood burner style fireplace with fitted fire guard, there is a large slate stone hearth, a fitted canopy above and a there is a lovely old carved inset timber lintel above. Within the fireplace is a real gem, a cloam oven with the rarely seen cloam oven door (A great deal of cloam ovens seem to be missing their doors). On one side of the fireplace is a shelved alcove, ideal for books, CDs and record storage. There is an exposed beamed ceiling, a lovely old panel with exposed old timbers including an arched old timber opening giving light and an aspect to the staircase area in the main hallway.

The front wall of the dining room, again exudes so much character with the age of this property, with its curved sculpted wall with windows on either side and beautiful old pine timbers giving a window sill to one and a window seat to the other window, both with views over the gardens. There is an arched display niche on one side of the windows and on the other side of the dining room is a very deep raised opening through to the kitchen/ breakfast room with a lovely wide fitted exposed wooden display top or serving opening if preferred. There is a small and lovely, exposed old pine panelled door that leads to the shelved under stair cupboard.

The lounge, again has a similar feel to the dining room with so much charm and character. There is a similar slate flagstone floor, a fireplace with slate hearth, fitted wood burner and an inset old exposed timber lintel above. On either side of the fireplace are two arched display niches, one with a recessed window. There is an exposed and painted beamed ceiling with painted floorboards above and to the front elevation is a window with pretty garden views and a deep exposed pine window sill.

The kitchen/ breakfast room has access from the dining room via an exposed old pine ledge and brace panel door and with its slate flagstone flooring, has a split level defined kitchen and breakfast area with two feature slate steps leading from one area to the other.

The kitchen/ breakfast room feels the real hub of the house with its oil fired cream fronted Aga in the kitchen area exuding warmth and a cosy feel that can also be felt from the breakfast area that has space for a farmhouse style kitchen table and chairs.

The kitchen is a double aspect room with windows with slate sills, side and rear garden views and has space for free standing kitchen units and features an oak fronted four cupboard kitchen unit with inset butler style double sink with mixer tap, oak work surface on one side and an oak draining board on the other side. Under the oak worktop is space for a dishwasher and there is space on the other side for a Smeg fridge or a fridge/ freezer.

The breakfast area has two windows to the rear elevation with exposed pine window sills, a painted old panelled door leads to the rear boot room/ rear porch and an old pine door leads to the utility room.

The boot room/ rear porch has slate flooring, a double glazed window to the rear elevation and a painted back door.

The utility room also has slate flooring, exposed beamed ceiling, wall mounted timber food store shelves, fitted butler style sink with chrome effect taps, spaces for washing machine, tumble dryer and a small freezer. There is an obscure glazed window to the side elevation with split level window sill, the floor standing oil fired combination central heating boiler and an old pine door leads to the cloakroom.

The cloakroom again has slate flooring, W/C, corner wash hand basin and exposed ceiling beams.

From the kitchen, an old pine latch door gives access to the family room that also has its own painted front door with storm porch giving access from the side garden. The family room is a double aspect room with exposed ceiling beams with painted floorboards above and a secondary turning staircase gives access to the main first floor landing, the five bedrooms, family bathroom and the study. There is raised and exposed timber panelling along one wall on either side of a mock fireplace with period fireplace facade. There is a recess on one side with a shelved display/ book alcove.

The first floor landing with its exposed wooden flooring, is split level with half landings at either end and features at the secondary staircase end, what appears to be a doorway to a secret room. Exposed pine latched doors give access to the five bedrooms and the study and an exposed pine door leads to the family bathroom.

The main bedroom is a double aspect room with exposed timber floorboards, feature exposed old timber panelled and canopied ceiling that is believed to be the shape it is as it is thought that the cottage would have originally been thatched. There are exposed and painted roof timbers. The main bedroom has two doors leading to en-suite facilities, with a door leading to a W/C and another door leading to a shower cubicle. Next to the shower area, within the main bedroom is an exposed pine vanity unit with circular bowl sink and a chrome effect mixer tap, that backs onto a built in linen cupboard.

The second bedroom has two windows to the front elevation with exposed deep pine window sills. There are exposed and painted roof timbers and floorboards.
