This single storey home known as Gardeners Cottage was originally part of the adjacent Tremeale Manor estate. It has a wealth of character features including beamed ceilings including some ‘A’ frames, exposed granite and wooden doors. Gardeners Cottage which has been in the ownership of our clients for some six years has been vastly improved and modified to create what is today splendid accommodation well suited to the discerning purchaser. The installation of a fitted kitchen, bathroom suites, replacement windows and the addition of a superior garden room are just a few of the changes which have been made during that time. The flexible home has light and airy accommodation with plenty of reception spaces with ample room outside to enjoy entertaining and dining, as well as cultivating and growing fine produce. A detached Dunster cabin is strategically placed at the foot of the garden to enjoy the backdrop of open farmland with far reaching views towards Landue Downs and Dartmoor in the distance.

The accommodation is accessed from the side where a large welcoming reception hall has plenty of built in cupboards. This leads through into the large snug which is a lovely light and airy space with a high ceiling and roof windows. The area could if required be used as a formal dining room and has a lovely warm atmosphere. The fitted kitchen added a few years ago was sourced via Wren Kitchens and is tastefully coloured to suit the home. There is a wall length of full height cupboards with pull out larder storage, as well as base units and drawers. A wide range of integrated appliances include a Rangemaster electric oven with induction hob top, decorative tiled splashbacks and hood above, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and three wine coolers. The worktops are solid and there is LED downlighting and Karndean flooring. Space is allocated for casual day to day dining. From the kitchen a wonderful view of the garden can be enjoyed. The lounge/dining room offers plenty of character with exposed beams, stonework and a feature fire surround which has a decorative tiled lintel and a wood burning stove set on a raised hearth. The fireplace is a real feature of the room and brings together the warm ambiance when dining formally. There is a useful mezzanine storage space above and access to the side porch and though the back to the wonderful garden room. The UPVC garden room was added in more recent years offering a stunning vista of the grounds. It has windows with reflective UV proof glass which prevents the fading of furniture and like the lounge has a vinyl floor. Access can be gained easily out to the garden.

The bedroom suites include the main bedroom which has an en-suite WC, as well as a stable door accessing the garden. The remaining two bedrooms are separated by the sumptuous bathroom/WC which is exquisite, featuring a free standing bath with waterfall tap and a large walk in shower area with soaker shower. The bathroom has a sun tube and cubed glass window providing natural light.

The property has oil fired central heating, replacement UPVC double glazing and vertical switches in the new kitchen. The solar panels on the roof are owned by the property and are able to provide supplemented electricity although the feed in tariff has been sold on to a separate company who generate from the electricity which is unused.

Externally, the home is accessed via double five bar vehicular gates. The graveled and concreted driveway provides plenty of off road parking and space for turning. There is a useful storage shed and outside lighting at the front. The main area of garden lies to the rear and is south facing. It offers many outside spaces to dine during the warmer months in peace and tranquility. There is a glass canopy which flanks the rear elevation and at the back of the garden room is a sheltered veranda where you can find welcome shade in the hot season. A further utility shed provides space for the private water equipment and there is outside power and water. Included in the sale is a granite picnic bench and bird table. The grounds display a large variety of colour from the many shrubs, bushes and perennials that are in abundance. Attractive borders contain crocosmia, buddleia and lavender to name but a few. A gate leads to the main area of lawn, which is level and provides plenty of space. At the side, green fingered gardeners will be impressed with the enclosed productive area of vegetable raised beds and a greenhouse where fine produce can be grown. The Dunster cabin is a lovely addition to the garden and has a shed at the side, it provides escapism where you can relax and enjoy the very finest of the outlook over the garden and towards the rolling countryside which backs straight on to the property. The cabin could be adopted for those who wish to work from home and take advantage of the broadband connection.

The following is a quotation from the home owners:

“Paradise a mile from town. Living at Gardeners Cottage has been wonderful. The garden and wildlife, foxes, doves, family of woodpeckers are an absolute joy. We have enjoyed our home very much but now is the time to move nearer the grandchildren. Whoever buys it will have tranquillity and beautiful views".

The property is positioned at Tremeale, a small hamlet on the fringes of Daws House, only one mile from Launceston. The village of South Petherwin is also located within a short distance and has a full range of amenities including a County Primary School, Pub/Restaurant and Church. Launceston has a wide range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.

For further communications the Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately 44 miles distance, or about an hour’s drive and has a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as access to the M5 motorway, mainland rail network to London (Paddington) and further north. Exeter is served by an excellent regional international airport. The continental ferry port and city of Plymouth is approximately 26 miles from the property and again offers extensive facilities as well as regular cross channel ferry services to France and Spain.
From Launceston proceed along the A388 (Western Road) heading towards Pennygillam Roundabout. Follow the signs for South Petherwin taking the 3rd exit along the B3254. Proceed for approximately ¾ of a mile down the hill and up the other side where the entrance to Tremeale will be identified on the left hand side with Gardeners Cottage found down on the right hand side.
