Nanstallon | North Cornwall

An exceptional detached country residence that has been comprehensively renovated and thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners, with the works completed in 2022. The property now offers over 4,300 square feet of beautifully presented accommodation, combining striking contemporary interiors with a highly versatile layout designed to suit modern family living.

With flexible ground floor bedroom accommodation, bathroom facilities and the added benefit of a self-contained annexe, the property is particularly well suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those seeking adaptable space for working from home.

Property - The house has an interesting history within the village of Nanstallon, with historic mapping confirming the property was already established by 1880, making it one of the earlier dwellings in the area. The house has evolved over time, including a significant extension by a previous owner in the late 1980s, followed by the addition of the annexe and detached garage around 2000. The current owners have since undertaken a comprehensive redesign of the accommodation, a full refurbishment and a further extension that includes the impressive 28’9” x 22’9” kitchen / dining / family room. These works were completed under the design and guidance of the highly respected Purl Design architectural practice in 2022, resulting in the beautifully presented home seen today.

Set within approximately 0.6 acres of grounds, and including a detached double garage, Tregarthen House provides an excellent balance of space, privacy and flexibility in a particularly attractive rural setting close to the Camel Trail.

The spacious entrance hall provides a striking introduction to the house and immediately sets the tone for the contemporary interior. Featuring walnut wooden treads and a glass balustrade, the cantilevered staircase creates a superb architectural focal point. There is also a back-to-back fireplace, along with cleverly designed hidden doors which discreetly conceal useful storage spaces.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room measuring approximately 28’9” by 22’9”, creating a superb central living space ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. Generous proportions and an abundance of natural light give the room a wonderful sense of openness, making it the true focal point of the house. Underfloor heating provides comfortable and efficient warmth throughout the space.

The remainder of the ground floor offers excellent versatility, including a spacious lounge providing a more formal reception space. This room also features the opposite side of the striking back-to-back fireplace, which forms a design feature shared with the entrance hall. Two further rooms can be utilised as bedrooms if required, with one currently arranged as a study or home office. The presence of a ground floor bedroom and bathroom facilities creates an ideal arrangement for multi-generational living, guests or those seeking single-level accommodation. A well-appointed utility room and cloakroom complete the practical elements of the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is arranged around a generous landing area with an additional snug space. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and supported by a stylish bathroom, creating a comfortable and well-balanced layout

In addition to the main house, the property also benefits from the self-contained one-bedroom annexe known as Apple Tree Lodge. The annexe is currently let and provides an opportunity for supplementary income, although it could equally serve as guest accommodation, multi-generational living space or a holiday let. There are also existing internal doorways that could allow the annexe to be reintegrated into the main house, if desired.

Externally, the property sits within approximately 0.6 acres of grounds, providing privacy and space around the house. The detached double garage offers further practicality and storage, complementing the extensive internal accommodation.

Overall, Tregarthen House is a beautifully presented contemporary home of considerable scale, offering flexible accommodation in a peaceful yet well-connected rural setting.

Location - Tregarthen House enjoys an attractive position close to the village of Nanstallon, just to the south of Bodmin, an area known for its beautiful countryside and excellent access to the Camel Trail. The village has a strong sense of community and is particularly appealing for families, being home to the well-regarded Nanstallon Community Primary School.

The Camel Trail is one of Cornwall’s most celebrated recreational routes, an 18-mile largely traffic-free path following a historic railway line between Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. The trail provides outstanding opportunities for walking and cycling through wooded valleys, riverside scenery and open countryside. Nanstallon is also home to Camel Valley Vineyard, one of Cornwall’s most respected wine producers, where visitors can enjoy tours and tastings overlooking the Camel Valley. The village also features Fern at Pendewey Farm, a highly regarded modern restaurant which has quickly developed a strong reputation for its contemporary dining and relaxed atmosphere.

From nearby Wadebridge the Camel Trail continues towards the Camel Estuary and the picturesque harbour town of Padstow, while heading inland it passes through tranquil woodland before reaching the dramatic landscapes of Bodmin Moor.

The town of Bodmin offers a wide range of everyday amenities including shops, schools and leisure facilities, while the north Cornish coast with its renowned beaches and sailing waters is also within easy reach.
