DESCRIPTION
'Stoneground' is a beautiful and very charming four bedroom converted 19th century barn, that has been much loved by the current owners, who completed the build of a detached two bedroom holiday cottage within the plot of their property (amounting to approximately half an acre). This property is really rather unique in many ways - and is certain to appeal to those who love the charm of a farmhouse, but yearn for the modernity of a fully refurbished home. The main, four bedroom, house is spacious throughout, and downstairs offers generous living spaces, starting with the picture-perfect farmhouse-style kitchen & dining room! The room stretches the depth of the property, with a tiled floor, exposed beams to the ceiling and masses of space for the obligatory, large scrub-top table and chairs at one end. The sitting room, similarly, has space for a table and chairs, as well as bi-fold patio doors that extend your living space out to the enclosed and private patio garden to the front. Beautifully detailed and finished, the sitting room is bright, inviting and sure to be cosy thanks to the woodburning stove in the fireplace. There is a downstairs cloakroom/WC, a utility/laundry space and a large storage cupboard completing the ground floor. Off the galleried landing, are four good-size double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The largest bedroom is currently used as an artist's studio/workshop space and is bathed in lots of natural light. All bedrooms have gorgeous original beams exposed and are presented in excellent order with the second largest bedroom having sea views and an opportunity to easily add an ensuite. Across the driveway that can accommodate several vehicles, the owners have added a super, detached two bedroom cottage that operates as a successful holiday let. "Number 19" offers stylish and high end accommodation in an upside-down arrangement; with a vaulted open-plan living space and kitchen/diner to the first floor that exits to a beautiful paved patio terrace. The ground floor offers two double bedrooms, a shower room, a utility/laundry room and a second WC. The property is finished to a very high standard. Outside, a gate leads you up a meandering wild-flower path to a tiered growing area with a polytunnel and a potting shed. Further around, the pathway leads to an elevated lawned area with gorgeous views down to the coast, and then loops back down to the driveway area. There is a large timber workshop, and rear patio garden for the main house that again offers a high degree of privacy.
LOCATION
Trewellard is one of the many smaller villages between St Just and Pendeen and sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Trewellard's history lies in tin mining as do most towns and villages in the area; with both Levant Mine and Geevor Tin Mine within a short walk.
The houses in Trewellard are a mix of typical granite-built cottages and more modern housing, with various local facilities. Trewellard Arms is a popular freehouse serving food. There is also a garage and petrol station. Nearby Pendeen and St Just offer a good selection of shops, pubs, eateries, well-rated schools and a doctor's surgery. Trewellard is just half a mile from the centre of Pendeen, 2 miles from St Just, 7 miles from Land's End and 7 miles from Penzance.
