Tristram Counthouse is a Victorian stone semi-detached home with a self-contained two-bedroom annexe — an appealing layout for multi-generational living or continuing holiday-let income. The main house offers two double bedrooms, a bright reception room, wood-burner-equipped lounge and a fitted kitchen with practical utility space. The annexe’s open-plan living/kitchen above two bedrooms provides flexible accommodation with its own entrance and separate services.
Outside, the property sits on a large level plot with mature, southerly gardens, fruit trees, grapevines, timber summer house and additional outbuildings. A gravel driveway provides off-street parking for up to four cars. The location is rural and quiet yet within short drives of beaches, St Austell and the Eden Project, making it attractive for families and holiday visitors.
Practical points to note: the house is oil-fired with a Worcester boiler and double glazing, but the original granite walls likely lack insulation — typical of pre-1900 construction and something to consider for running costs and future upgrading. Flooding risk is assessed as medium for the area. The property has an eight-year holiday-letting history and current smoke-alarm wiring to meet letting standards.
This home suits buyers seeking character, garden space and income potential, or families needing separate annexe accommodation. It will reward modest modernisation in places — insulation and energy-efficiency improvements are the main sensible investments — while preserving the building’s traditional features and generous outdoor amenities.
