Seller Insight

"Trewrong Farmhouse, in the parish of Fowey, has been our home for nearly ten years.
We have hosted many a happy gathering with family and friends, often toasted with some of the cider, apple wine , or just juice that we make from the apples and pears from the 23 tree orchard. The vegetable beds provide summer fruits for those special occasions

The views from three of the lawns, or the conservatory, across the valley are stunning no matter the weather. The fourth lawn is secluded and the roses and eucalyptus tree in the summer provides more peace and tranquillity, as well as flowers for the house.

In the winter the log burner is lit for cosy nights in. In the summer the sea is never far away, with three beaches , Polkerris, Menabilly, and Par, all within easy walking distance. Walking to Fowey via the South West Coast Path, or via the inland route of The Saint’s Way is such a joy too.Though on a fine day the daily walk through the ‘top lawn’ , around the field and back down the private lane to watch the sun rise, or set is equally joyous.

The silence of the still nights is only broken by the hooting of the owls.

We have loved living here, but new horizons await us. We shall be leaving with the memories of the best years of our lives- so far!"


Approached along its own tree-lined drive, the house sits within around three-quarters of an acre of mature gardens and orchard, framed by established boundaries that create a peaceful, sheltered environment. Beyond the gardens, an adjoining 4.46-acre pasture field stretches up the hillside, giving the property an appealing sense of space and privacy, and excellent potential for equestrian use or simply enjoying the freedom of open land.

Step Inside
The farmhouse itself is a warm and comfortable home, full of the character expected of a traditional Cornish property yet balanced with a light, welcoming atmosphere. The sitting room is centred around a multi-fuel burner set beneath a stone lintel, with the original clome oven preserved as a reminder of the building’s heritage. From here, a charming sun room draws in views across the garden and provides a peaceful spot to read, relax or simply watch the changing seasons.

The generously sized dining room offers a more formal space for gatherings, its open fireplace adding a sense of occasion. A study or additional snug sits quietly to one side, making home working or hobbies easy to accommodate without compromising the main living areas.

The kitchen is a particularly attractive feature of the home — a classic shaker style with quartz worktops, Belfast sink and an electric range cooker, arranged to feel both practical and sociable. A large utility/boot room sits alongside, perfectly suited to country living and with direct access to the garden. A ground-floor shower room completes the layout on this level, ideal for returning from coastal walks or tending to the land.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms enjoy lovely views and plenty of natural light. The principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, with the remaining rooms offering flexible guest or family accommodation. A well-appointed family bathroom sits centrally, with modern fittings that complement the home’s traditional feel.

Step Outside
The gardens are a true highlight — beautifully established, thoughtfully planted and full of seasonal interest. Expanses of lawn sweep around the house, edged by mature trees and shrubs that provide colour and privacy. The orchard and raised vegetable beds offer a productive addition, and several seating terraces allow you to enjoy the sun at different times of day.

A substantial timber double garage/workshop stands near the driveway, equipped with power and lighting, offering excellent storage or hobby space. Additional outbuildings and sheds enhance the practical appeal of the setting.

The adjoining pasture field gently rises behind the house, enclosed and easily accessed from both the garden and a shared lane at the top. It is an ideal space for horses, smallholding activities, or simply enjoying the peaceful outlook across neighbouring farmland.
