Secluded coastal home with panoramic Atlantic views and large private grounds.
Five double bedrooms, three with en-suites
Set high above Trebarwith Strand, Trenouth Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached home with exceptional sea views and roughly 4.29 acres of mature grounds. The house blends original 1800s character—slate floors, timber beams and exposed pigeon holes—with later extensions including a light conservatory and open-plan kitchen/diner. Large lawns, a sun terrace, detached stables and generous driveway parking create clear scope for family living, small-scale equestrian use, or ancillary development (subject to planning).
The accommodation suits families or buyers seeking a peaceful coastal retreat: three bedrooms have en-suites, there is a ground-floor office and a separate reception room, and the first floor retains privacy for bedrooms. Practical services are in place—mains electricity, borehole water, septic tank drainage and oil-fired central heating—but these reflect a rural, self-reliant setting rather than urban conveniences.
Important faults and costs are straightforward: the property needs renovation throughout and will require updating to modern standards. The home uses private water and drainage systems, oil heating and has no mobile signal on site. Shared private driveway access and the hamlet location mean a degree of isolation; broadband is fast but local amenities are limited. Prospective buyers should budget for refurbishment and check requirements for any redevelopment or change of use with planning and environmental authorities.
For buyers seeking space, privacy and coastal panoramas, Trenouth Cottage offers a rare plot with versatile buildings and long-term potential. It is best suited to those prepared to undertake renovation and appreciate living in a remote, scenic part of the North Cornish coast.
