IntroductionAn opportunity to purchase a very spacious traditional former Farmhouse with a detached single storey stone Barn which has huge potential to convert / develop into a studio, detached annexe or separate one-bedroom residence. Sitting in established mature and relatively level gardens of approximately one third of an acre scope exists, with the necessary consents, to create a separate private driveway for the farmhouse making it possible for the ‘barn’ to be sold independently if desired. Located on the outskirts of St Mawes, the property has wonderful far-reaching panoramic water and countryside views from the first floor. Tregear Vean Farmhouse is an attractive detached property positioned among three other similar properties. It enjoys a private setting, well-screened from the main road by a stone wall and a row of evergreen trees sheltering the front garden making this a perfect family home or equally suitable, with some updating and modernising, as a holiday / letting property.
Ground Floor:A welcoming half-glazed front porch leads into the entrance hall, featuring an attractive stone-flagged floor and a staircase rising to the first floor. To the left, a spacious bedroom (currently used as a sitting room) benefits from an en-suite shower room, offering flexibility in how the space could be used. To the rear is a further bedroom / study, ideal for a home office. A generously proportioned dining room with original window shutters overlooks the front garden, having a feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove—perfect for cosy winter evenings. The dining room flows into a well-equipped kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, an electric Aga, and ample space for additional appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with a WC, providing additional storage and laundry space.
First Floor:On the first floor is a galleried landing. To the front is a large living room, a light and airy room with panoramic views of National Trust countryside and water views of Carrick Roads with Falmouth and Cornish landscape beyond. Also on this floor is a further bedroom to the front with similar views and 2 further bedrooms to the rear with lovely country vista towards Nare Head, and also a bath / wet room.
Outside:To the front of the house is a level garden, mainly laid to lawn, bounded by a stone wall and high hedge for privacy. To one side of the house is a sheltered sitting out / barbecue area. The gardens, circa one third of an acre, are a haven for privacy and enjoyment and comprise mainly lawn with mature shrubs and bushes dispersed. There is a parking area which could be extended past the front of the property, where, subject to any planning consents, possibly a double garage with studio / office over could be built with associated parking. Within the gardens are two timber summerhouses, one to the western corner and one located by the side of the property. Alternatively, subject to the necessary consents, a separate driveway could be created entering into the side garden to a possible double garage as mentioned above. This driveway could enable the farmhouse and barn to be split with the barn possibly being sold separately.
Detached Outbuilding Approximately 26’ x 15, previously used as a workshop / hobbies room, it is an attractive detached stone and slate barn with exposed rafters and a small front courtyard / seating area. There is a parking space to the side. Subject to the necessary consents there is huge scope to utilise this as a studio, annexe for use as a holiday let or for a relative / carer or as stand-alone residential accommodation.
SummaryTregear Vean Farmhouse probably dates back to the Georgian Era, situated in a private and relatively level location, on the edge of the exclusive coastal harbour village of St Mawes, on the Roseland Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It enjoys a sunny south westerly aspect and features well stocked gardens. Beautiful far-reaching views are enjoyed from the first floor and encompass surrounding National Trust owned countryside, the mile-wide waters of the Carrick Roads over towards Trefusis Point and Falmouth with miles of Cornish countryside beyond. Subject to any necessary consents, the property has potential to convert the detached single storey barn into residential accommodation as well as extend the current driveway past the front entrance to build a possible double garage with a studio / office over plus associated parking. This family sized home is liveable but many may wish to upgrade and modernise to transform and re-configure the very spacious versatile light and airy accommodation.
