Treal, Ruan Minor

Enviably located towards the end of a private lane, with impressive gardens and grounds of circa three quarters of an acre, lies this striking three bedroom local stone fronted residence of immense charm and character and an adjacent two bedroom barn conversion, currently operating as a successful holiday let.

Situated moments from the sought after village of Ruan Minor and the iconic coastal fishing cove of Cadgwith, 'Skyber Treal' offers well proportioned and versatile accommodation that could suit a variety of uses. Those seeking an income may elect to continue with the successful holiday letting of the cottage, whilst others may prefer to accommodate a dependent relative or a teenager seeking greater independence.

The main house benefits from a wealth of character features ranging from authentic exposed beams, a feature fireplace with wood burning stove for those cosy nights in, latched doors and recessed windows and cills. A striking vestibule with vaulted ceiling and skylights welcome visitors, leading into a spacious, well equipped, farmhouse style kitchen and dining room. The sitting room offers formal dining for dinner parties and a chance to relax in front of the roaring fire. Alternatively the slipper bath and luxurious suite offer a welcome place to soak and relax after time spent working in the garden.

A bespoke crafted wooden staircase leads to two bedrooms on the first floor, whilst the third bedroom is conveniently situated on the ground floor adjacent to the family bathroom and is in effect an en-suite, given the presence of a spacious shower room nearby.

The cottage is neatly presented, with a light and welcoming lounge, a nicely appointed galley style kitchen, two bedrooms and a pleasant shower room.
