Description

This 4-bedroom cottage presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment, set on around 2 acres of land that includes established gardens, woodland, and various outbuildings. The property is characterized by its historical charm, with features like exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace that hark back to its origins in part from the 17th century. Located just a short drive from the village of Stithians, this property offers convenient access to nearby Falmouth (7 miles) and Truro (9 miles). Stithians is known for its range of amenities, including a general store, pub, doctors' surgery, and a charming parish church. The community also hosts one of the region's largest agricultural shows each year, drawing visitors and fostering local engagement. The layout of Treskewes Cottage provides flexible living spaces that could accommodate multi-generational families or be adapted to suit various needs. There is substantial potential for converting the outbuildings into additional dwellings or functional spaces (subject to planning permissions). The extensive grounds feature a paddock suitable for livestock or gardening enthusiasts as well as tranquil areas that attract diverse wildlife. The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway leading to a utility room and kitchen, a spacious sitting/dining room with wood burner, two cloakrooms, a shower room, one bedroom, and a snug/study area. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms along with a family bathroom. Outside, the property benefits from ample parking alongside a double garage and an attached greenhouse. Additional structures include a tractor shed, workshop, summer house/chalet, log store, Koi pond equipped with its own pump room, and traditional cottage gardens filled with various specimen shrubs. Notably, there is also a former piggery attached to the cottage that has potential to be transformed into a self-contained annexe with appropriate consents. This aspect further enhances the property’s appeal as an investment opportunity or family residence. With no onward chain involved in the sale process, prospective buyers will find this property not only rich in character but also brimming with possibilities for modern living while retaining its historic allure.
