Listing - This charming period house likely dates back to the 18th century and retains many original features. Built from traditional stone with a classic slate roof and a brick chimney, it has a two-storey layout with two main rooms and a central hallway. The front of the house has five attractive sash windows, giving it a grand appearance. The front door is a classic panel design, and the sash windows are a real feature. A rear wing, also from the 18th century, extends from the back of the property. Inside, many period details remain intact, including a lovely staircase, original panel doors, decorative wooden panelling, and exposed ceiling beams. It is believed that the eaves were raised in the 19th century, possibly to increase ceiling height. The property likely to have been listed for its historical character and its contribution to the charm of the surrounding area.

Agents Remarks - It’s not often a home like Penare House comes to the market — this is a truly outstanding and remarkably well-preserved village property, full of charm and character. From the moment you walk through the front door into the flagstone-floored hallway, you get a sense of the history and craftsmanship that has gone into this home over the centuries.

What really stands out to me is the balance between its period elegance and the quality of the modern presentation — every room is beautifully finished, yet the original features like sash windows, exposed beams, and panelled doors have all been thoughtfully retained. The kitchen is a particular highlight, especially with the Aga and the vaulted ceiling, and the conservatory flowing into the garden creates a real sense of connection between the house and its outdoor space.

The layout works brilliantly for family living, with generous bedrooms upstairs and flexible spaces downstairs that could suit a range of lifestyles. And the location is hard to beat — Tregony is a thriving and well-connected village, and being just a short drive from both Truro and the Roseland Peninsula means you’re never far from the coast or the city.

This is one of those rare homes that really has presence — both inside and out — and I’d highly recommend arranging a viewing to appreciate just how special it is.
