Introduction
Trelewack Cottage is a most attractive Grade II Listed period cottage, peacefully situated amidst rolling countryside approximately half a mile from the sought-after village of St Ewe. Occupying an elevated south-easterly facing position, the cottage enjoys delightful views across the surrounding countryside and valley, complemented by particularly generous gardens and an established orchard. Constructed principally of stone and cob beneath an artificial slate roof, the property is rich in period character, with exposed ceiling timbers, window seats, old fireplaces, slate flagstone floors, exposed timber floorboards and attractive architectural details throughout. The combination of a characterful interior, generous outside space and peaceful yet accessible setting makes Trelewack Cottage a particularly appealing country home.
The Property
Slate steps rise to a cobbled pathway running across the front of the cottage and leading to the principal entrance. A substantial front door opens into the Living Room, an inviting reception room with an open fireplace incorporating a slate hearth and timber mantle, exposed ceiling timbers, an arched display recess and window seat. A timber panelled door leads through to the Study, a useful and versatile room enjoying a dual aspect and providing an ideal home office, reading room or occasional additional reception space. The Kitchen / Dining Room is another particularly characterful room, featuring a traditional slate flagstone floor, exposed ceiling timbers and window seat. An oil-fired Rayburn sits within a fireplace recess beneath a substantial bressummer beam, complemented by a range of base-level kitchen units with solid stone work surfaces, an undermounted sink, four-ring hob and space for a freestanding refrigerator.
Steps rise from the kitchen to the Rear Hall, where a part-glazed stable-style door provides access to the garden. Double doors open to a useful Utility / Airing Cupboard, housing the hot water cylinder with plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The ground-floor Shower Room comprises a wide walk-in tiled shower, WC and wall-mounted wash basin, together with a useful shelved cupboard.
The first floor provides two attractive double bedrooms, both retaining exposed timber floorboards and traditional window seats. One bedroom also features an attractive period fireplace with timber mantle beam and slate hearth, adding further to the character of the cottage.
Gardens and Orchard
The gardens and orchard are a particular feature of Trelewack Cottage, providing an unusually generous amount of outside space for a property of this type. Immediately adjoining the cottage is a level paved seating terrace, creating an attractive area for outside dining and entertaining while enjoying the peaceful rural surroundings. Steps rise to a lawned garden which extends into a substantial orchard, predominantly laid to grass and planted with a number of established apple trees together with a cherry tree.
From various points within the garden there are delightful views across the surrounding countryside and valley. A further landscaped paved seating area has been created beside a small garden pond, providing another sheltered spot from which to enjoy the setting. There are also two timber garden sheds providing useful storage.
