Trequite | St Kew

This picture-perfect three-bedroom cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, characterful home in the peaceful hamlet of Trequite, within the highly desirable parish of St Kew. With its white-painted five-bar gate, attractive stone façade, and well-tended front garden, the property instantly radiates classic Cornish charm. The setting is truly idyllic—tranquil and semi-rural, yet just moments from the dramatic North Cornwall coast.

Inside, the cottage has been thoughtfully modernised to a high standard, combining contemporary comfort with a wealth of original features. Exposed beams, natural stonework, and bespoke finishes create a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a timeless sense of style.

A generous entrance hall sets the tone and leads to a beautifully appointed kitchen and a ground-floor double bedroom with en suite shower room. The hallway also provides access to a cloakroom/WC and includes a built-in storage cupboard—ideal for coats and shoes.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining room (16’8” x 12’8”), featuring light wood cabinetry, a classic Aga, integrated appliances, and a combination of painted floorboards, exposed stone, and timber beams. A farmhouse table fits comfortably, making it perfect for relaxed entertaining. Adjoining this space is a delightful garden room (18’6” x 8’1”) with French doors opening onto the garden—an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The sitting room (16’6” x 14’1”) is centred around a striking stone fireplace with a cream coloured Yotul gas fire. With painted floorboards, exposed beams, and carefully considered décor, it offers a cosy yet elegant retreat.

The ground-floor bedroom (12’5” x 9’6”) with en suite shower room provides excellent flexibility—ideal for private guest accommodation or single-level living.

Stairs from the sitting room lead to a first-floor landing and two generously proportioned bedrooms (16’10” x 13’9” and 13’ x 9’10”), both featuring original ceiling beams and exposed stonework. They are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, complete with claw-foot roll-top bath, high-level WC, and exposed timber flooring—echoing the cottage’s abundant character.

Outside, the south-west facing garden is both private and low-maintenance, with a mix of gravelled and lawned areas, mature planting, and a terrace ideal for al fresco dining. A timber summerhouse adds charm and versatility, while a private parking area behind the five-bar gate offers both security and convenience.

This is a truly special opportunity to secure a beautiful character cottage in one of North Cornwall’s most desirable locations—equally suited as a permanent residence or an idyllic weekend retreat.
