2 bedroom terraced house

GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE ABOVE TREVAUNANCE COVE

A classic Cornish thatched cottage with west facing garden, dating back to 1700 and situated in a fantastic location just 200 metres from Trevaunance Cove in the sought after village of St Agnes on the north coast.

Parking for two cars and potential to create a garage (subject to consents).

General Comments - This represents a very rare opportunity to purchase a truly wonderful piece of Cornwall. Heatherbell is a completely unique property which is situated in one of the most sought after locations in the whole of the county. The cottage is just 200 metres from the stunning Trevaunance Cove and therefore close to the 17th century Driftwood Spars pub and Schooners bar.

The property will undoubtedly be of wide appeal to someone seeking either a full time residence, a second home or a holiday home.

History - Heatherbell is believed to date from around 1700 and was part of the former Red Lion pub. The pub was converted into three cottages many years ago and hence the terrace was formed. The property is therefore Grade II listed.

To the rear of the property there is an incredible cliff top garden from where there is a glimpse of the sea. This large area of ground (approx 1/4 of an acre) has a fascinating past and it is believed that there was once a tunnel previously used for smuggling items such as tea, brandy, gin, rum and tobacco up from the cove. The remnants of the tunnel are still visible today.

The Property - The property is full of charm and character throughout with lovely sash windows and old cob walls all under a thatched roof. The sitting room with open beamed ceiling and partially timber panel wall transports you to a by gone era whilst there is a kitchen/dining room to the rear and two first floor bedrooms with a shower room. There is the huge bonus of two parking spaces and a level lawned garden to the front, all of which faces west and hence enjoys a warm and sunny aspect for the majority of the day and evening, a rarity for a cove side cottage.

Trevaunance Cove - Trevaunance Cove is a shingle beach at high tide and is popular with surfers as its north-facing position means that the prevailing southwesterly winds are offshore. As the tide goes out, the central area of the beach is sandy. To the right, large areas of rock are revealed with numerous rock pools, and a low tide it is possible to clamber over the rocks to reach Trevellas Cove. On the left side of Trevaunance Cove are the remains of the old harbour wall and beyond this there are caves, arches and rock stacks along the cliffs.

St Agnes - St. Agnes has long become a favourite "hot spot" of Cornwall, not surprising because of its position on the north Cornish coast, its homely village atmosphere combined with its easy commuting distance to Truro. It is a thriving community offering a wide range of facilities including shops, post office, church, pubs and primary school as well a selection of restaurants/cafes and hotels. Many of the facilities are within walking distance and due to the village having easy access to the main A30 it is much coveted location.

There are beaches at nearby Trevaunance Cove and Chapel Porth and the coastal walks in the area are significant with much of the cliff land owned and protected by the National Trust. St. Agnes is a world heritage site and is in an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.
