Trelash, Warbstow, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

This Grade II Listed three bedroom detached character cottage, dating back to the 17th century, is a true gem, combining characterful elegance with modern benefits. Its extensive gardens, versatile outbuildings, and the charming holiday barn present a great opportunity for both a beautiful home and an additional income stream.

The idyllic hamlet location near the North Cornwall coast ensures a peaceful lifestyle with easy access to some of the region's most picturesque spots including Boscastle, Tintagel, Padstow and Bude.

The main cottage exudes charm with its exquisite period features, including exposed beams, granite features, slate flagstone floors (underfloor heating throughout the ground floor) and traditional fireplaces. The spacious living room with wood burner provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, with the wood shutters adding to the feeling of being 'away from the world'.

The country-style kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, blending seamlessly with the cottage’s character. There is an oil fired Aga, a real feature in itself, used for domestic cooking and warmth, a double Belfast sink set in a granite work top and elegant matching units with an integral dishwasher and standalone fridge/freezer included in the sale - all of which blend so well with the slate flagstone flooring and the beam ceiling to create a comfortable and sociable hub - the real heart of the home. In addition, the rear entrance (cloakroom) has the original well and pump as internal features (as well as being useful to water the gardens!) with the ground floor being completed by a superb, modern shower room/WC which has a large shower cubicle, slate tiled floor and a sink set on a useful vanity unit.

The wonderful bedrooms offer views over the pretty cottage style gardens to the front, have plenty of storage and have exposed 'A' frame beams in high ceilings adding the feel of space and light. One bedroom has an en-suite WC (with potential to add a shower if required) and there is a gorgeous family bathroom with a spacious roll top style bath, built in storage and exposed floorboards.

Under application number PA21/05751 (Cornwall Council) conditional planning was approved (now lapsed) for a single storey side extension which our clients were going to use as a garden room. Plans for this can be e-mailed upon request.

The property boasts superb, expansive gardens that are well-maintained, featuring vibrant flower beds, mature shrubs and perennials, and sizable lawns. Our clients have landscaped and planted the garden themselves to include Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Wisterias, Clematis, fruit trees, Lupin's, Dierama, Weigelia's, Buddleia, Roses, Fuchsia, Magnolia, Salvia, Kaffir Lilys, Turks Cap Lillies, Hostas, Soloman Seals, Roses, Jasmine, and many more. There are both cooking and eating apples plus pears, mulberry, raspberries, damson, blueberries, blackcurrants and a young peach tree.

These gardens provide a picturesque setting for outdoor activities, relaxation, and gardening enthusiasts. The greenhouse is perfect for those who enjoy cultivating a variety of plants year round.

The outbuilding includes two generously sized garages, providing ample space for vehicle storage or workshop use, and versatile workshops suitable for hobbies, DIY projects, or additional storage needs.

The detached barn, tucked away from the main cottage, has been beautifully converted to a spacious one bedroom holiday let with a successful track record over many years, with many returning guests.

It forms a charming addition to the property, offering light and airy living space, open plan kitchen/dining area with quality units and a wealth of character features. The comfortable bedroom creates a welcoming and relaxing environment, with a lovely, galleried landing leading to the stylish en-suite bathroom.

The barn has a private patio and garden area allowing guests to enjoy the outdoors in a tranquil setting, with its own tarmac driveway. It will be sold as a going concern, with all fixtures, fittings and furniture, minus a few personal items, and there is potential to form a family annexe, subject to an application for a change of use, to the council.

The property lies in a rural position in the heart of North Cornwall. Within a short drive are the coastal villages of Boscastle, Crackington Haven and Tintagel. Glorious sandy beaches can be found within 10 miles at Bude and Widemouth Bay. A short journey inland you will find the wild expanse of Bodmin Moor. There are village facilities within a few miles at either Hallworthy or Marshgate to include a village store, public house and church.
