Trevescan, Sennen, Penzance, TR19

A substantial and highly versatile property in a rural setting near Sennen, offering a large main house, a two-bedroom annexe and two detached stone barns with planning permission for conversion to a one-bedroom dwelling. The property has already undergone a considerable amount of improvement, with some areas beautifully finished and full of character, while other parts remain incomplete and require further work. It therefore offers an unusual opportunity for a buyer to enjoy much of what has already been done while completing and finishing the property to their own requirements.
The main house retains plenty of character, with exposed granite, deep windowsills, period detailing and a particularly impressive inglenook fireplace. There is a real contrast throughout the house between the completed areas and those still requiring attention, and buyers should expect further works and finishing to bring the property together as a whole.
The accommodation begins with a garden room opening through an exposed stone archway into the entrance hall, where the period tiled floor immediately sets the tone of the house.
The principal sitting room is a comfortable, well-proportioned space with wooden flooring, underfloor heating and a sash-style window with window seat. A further large ground-floor room is currently arranged as a bedroom/reception room and offers useful flexibility depending on requirements.
At the heart of the house is the generous open-plan kitchen and dining room, extending to over 25ft in length. Beyond this is a useful utility room, WC and a particularly generous boot room with exposed stonework and direct access outside. The utility area also provides internal access through to the annexe.
Planning permission is in place to further enhance the main house, allowing the existing boot room to be demolished and rebuilt on a considerably larger scale, together with the addition of a Victorian-style orangery to the front of the property. This gives the next owner the opportunity to continue the work already undertaken and create a substantial family home tailored to their own requirements.
On the first floor, the main house provides a large principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, window seat and en-suite shower room, together with four further bedrooms, several enjoying open countryside views. There is also a family bathroom/shower room and additional WC. As elsewhere in the property, the level of finish varies, with further work required in a number of areas.
The two-bedroom annexe is arranged over two floors and provides a hallway, two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs is a large open-plan living area with patio doors and Velux window, together with a utility area. Plumbing is already in place for a kitchen to be fitted to the rear of the living space, although this and other finishing works remain to be completed. Its connection to the main house makes it particularly suitable for extended family while still allowing a good degree of independence.
A further feature is the pair of detached stone barns, with planning permission under application PA23/06510. The approved scheme allows the two existing barns to be combined to create one self-contained one-bedroom dwelling, with an open-plan kitchen/living space, bedroom and shower room, adding another useful element to an already flexible property.
Outside, there are lawned garden areas enclosed by traditional stone walls and fencing, together with a substantial yard, extensive off-road parking and useful sheds to the rear. The outside areas, like the house itself, are a mixture of established and unfinished spaces and would benefit from further landscaping and improvement.
This is not a completely finished property, but much of the hard work has already been undertaken. With some impressive completed spaces alongside areas still requiring work, it is a property with plenty of character, space and potential for a buyer prepared to take on the remaining project.

Sennen Cove boasts one of the loveliest stretches of sand in Cornwall, Whitesands Beach, and still retains much of the atmosphere of an old fishing village. Sennen is very close to Land’s End and is well placed for walks along the coastal path. 8 Miles southwest of Penzance and under 5 miles to St Just both of which have a huge range of amenities.
