Tremeale, Daws House, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

This single storey home known as Gardeners Cottage was originally part of the adjacent Tremeale Manor estate. It has a wealth of character features including beamed ceilings including some ‘A’ frames, exposed granite and wooden doors. The impressive home which has been in the ownership of our clients for just under two years has been further improved with redecoration in most rooms, new blinds and fitted bedroom furniture installed, as well as some new carpets laid. Today, the splendid accommodation is well suited to the discerning purchaser. The flexible home has light and airy accommodation with plenty of reception spaces with ample room outside to enjoy entertaining and dining, as well as cultivating and growing fine produce. A detached Dunster cabin is strategically placed at the foot of the garden to enjoy the backdrop of open farmland with far reaching views towards Landue Downs and Dartmoor in the distance.

The accommodation is accessed from the side where a large welcoming reception hall has plenty of tall built in cupboards and hard flooring. This leads through into the large drawing room which is a lovely light and airy space with a high ceiling and roof windows. The area could if required be used as a formal dining room and has a lovely warm atmosphere. The fitted kitchen is tastefully coloured to suit the home in blue. There is a wall length of full height cupboards with pull out larder storage, as well as base units and drawers with a one and a half bowl sink unit. A wide range of integrated appliances include a Rangemaster electric oven with induction hob and extractor hood, decorative tiled splashbacks, dishwasher and three wine coolers. The worktops are solid and there is LED downlighting and Karndean flooring. Space is allocated for casual day to day dining. From the kitchen, access via sliding doors can be gained to the garden. The lounge/dining room offers plenty of character with exposed beams, stonework and a feature fire surround which has a decorative tiled lintel and a wood burning stove set on a raised hearth. There is a useful built in shelving recess at the side and mezzanine storage space above and access to the side porch. The UPVC garden room was added in more recent years offering a stunning vista of the grounds and surrounding countryside. It has windows with reflective UV proof glass which prevents the fading of furniture and like the lounge has a vinyl floor. Access can be gained easily out to the garden on two sides via sliding and patio doors.

The bedroom suites include bedroom two which has an en-suite WC, as well as a stable door accessing the garden. The remaining two bedrooms are separated by the sumptuous bathroom/WC which is exquisite, featuring a free standing bath with waterfall tap and a large walk in shower area with soaker shower. Bedroom one has a range of fitted bedroom furniture with push open velvet doors. The bathroom has a sun tube and cubed glass window providing natural light.

The property has oil fired central heating, replacement UPVC double glazing and vertical switches in the new kitchen. A new bore hole has been installed. The solar panels on the roof are owned by the property and are able to provide supplemented electricity, although the feed in tariff has been sold on to a separate company who generate from the electricity which is unused. This we understand will cease in a few years to come.

Externally, the home is accessed via double five bar vehicular gates. The gravelled and concreted driveway provides plenty of off road parking and space for turning. There is a useful storage shed and outside lighting at the front. The main area of garden lies to the rear and is south facing. It offers many outside spaces to dine during the warmer months in peace and tranquillity. There is a glass canopy which flanks the rear elevation and at the back of the garden room is a sheltered veranda where you can find welcome shade in the hot season. A large tree has been removed and now a more open aspect of the countryside beyond can be enjoyed. A further utility shed provides space for the private water equipment and there is outside power and water. The grounds display a large variety of colour from the many shrubs, bushes and perennials that are in abundance. A gate leads to the main area of lawn, which is level and provides plenty of space. At the side, green fingered gardeners will be impressed with the enclosed productive area of vegetable raised beds and a greenhouse where fine produce can be grown. The Dunster cabin is a lovely addition to the garden and has a shed at the side, it provides escapism where you can relax and enjoy the very finest of the outlook over the garden and towards the rolling countryside which backs straight on to the property. The cabin could be adopted for those who wish to work from home and take advantage of the broadband connection.

The property is positioned at Tremeale, a small hamlet on the fringes of Daws House, only one mile from Launceston. The village of South Petherwin is also located within a short distance and has a full range of amenities including a County Primary School, Pub/Restaurant and Church. Launceston has a wide range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.

For further communications the Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately 44 miles distance, or about an hour’s drive and has a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as access to the M5 motorway, mainland rail network to London (Paddington) and further north. Exeter is served by an excellent regional international airport.
