DESCRIPTION

Tregarthen offers an excellent opportunity to acquire such a distinctive and beautifully presented period country home, which is understood to have been built in 1903 and has only had three owners in its time. There are a number of distinctive features both internally and externally, including minor Arts and Crafts and extensive gardens, which will no doubt appeal to families and gardening enthusiasts alike.

The current owners, during their time, and more particularly over the past ten years have undertaken extensive improvement and modernisation works, whilst retaining the character of the original design. Points worthy of note include the retention of many original lattice windows, a traditional Reception Hall, off which access is gained to the three fine Reception Rooms, in addition to the Conservatory. For those who wish to work from home there is an excellent Study, whilst the Kitchen/Breakfast Room is handsomely appointed with comprehensive cupboard space and a range of appliances. All of this is in addition to an adjoining and sizable Utility Room. The first floor enjoys the provision of five Bedrooms and three Bath/Shower Rooms, one of which is En Suite to the Principal Bedroom.

Outside, the gardens are certainly to be admired. Cleverly landscaped and abundantly stocked with a wealth of trees and flowering shrubs including beech, silver birch, walnut, red maple, yew and a variety of fruit trees. A true haven for wildlife. The seating terrace to the front certainly takes advantage of the panoramic views and very relaxing for afternoon entertaining. For those who enjoy home grown vegetables there is a sizable kitchen garden.
