Introduction
Occupying an outstanding position within one of the Roseland Peninsula's most desirable coastal settings, Higher Tregassa presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial lifestyle property offering exceptional flexibility, established income potential and an enviable way of life. Extensively enhanced and thoughtfully remodelled by the current owners, the property has been transformed into an outstanding coastal home, perfectly suited to modern family living, multigenerational occupation or those seeking to combine an exceptional home with an established holiday letting business.
Description
The accommodation centres around the principal residence, Higher Tregassa, a spacious detached home which has benefited from a substantial two-storey extension together with the creation of reverse-level living accommodation, ensuring the principal reception rooms make the very most of the spectacular countryside and coastal outlook. The house provides generous family accommodation with bright, well-proportioned living spaces and three bedrooms, all complemented by beautifully maintained gardens and grounds.
In addition to the principal residence are two semi detached holiday cottages, both successfully suited to holiday letting. Lowena Cottage is an attractive three-bedroom semi-detached holiday barn offering spacious open-plan living accommodation, two bath/shower rooms and private terraces, making it equally suitable for visiting family or guests. Bryher Cottage provides charming one-bedroom semi detached accommodation with open-plan living, private outside space and excellent privacy, creating an ideal holiday retreat with proven letting appeal. Completing the accommodation is a former tractor shed, now thoughtfully converted into two-bedroom detached ancillary accommodation. This versatile building provides excellent additional space for dependent relatives, extended family, guest overflow, home working or leisure use and is ancillary to the principal dwelling rather than a separate holiday letting unit.
The grounds are every bit as impressive as the accommodation. Extending to approximately 2.37 acres, they comprise beautifully landscaped gardens, extensive parking, large paddocks and a magnificent seasonal wildflower meadow, creating a wonderful haven for wildlife while offering privacy and space rarely found so close to the coast.
Enjoying one of the Roseland Peninsula's finest coastal settings, Higher Tregassa commands glorious views across open countryside towards Nare Head, Gull Rock and the sweeping coastline of Gerrans Bay. From the lower gardens, the outlook extends across Porthcurnick Beach to Portscatho Lookout Station, providing an ever-changing maritime backdrop. With the renowned Hidden Hut and the South West Coast Path just moments away, Higher Tregassa offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space and immediate access to one of Cornwall's most celebrated stretches of coastline.
Despite its peaceful setting, Higher Tregassa is conveniently located for the picturesque fishing village of Portscatho with its harbour, cafés, galleries and public house, whilst St Mawes, Truro and the wider Roseland Peninsula remain easily accessible.
Whether acquired as a substantial family home, a multigenerational residence or a lifestyle property with established holiday letting income, Higher Tregassa offers a combination of flexibility, privacy, income potential and coastal living that is seldom available.
