DESCRIPTION Tredower is thought to have been constructed in the 1930’s and was evidently designed and built to a high standard and in a location that was chosen for its quite incredible 360º views. The outlook literally wraps around on all sides taking in miles of countryside in all directions with numerous landmarks including St Eval church tower with Rough Tor and Brown Willy easily visible. To the west and north, which the rear of the house faces, the Atlantic Ocean

Ref: LCAA6889 3

can be seen to either side of Trevose Head with the top of Trevose Lighthouse just visible as well as the Quies (rocky islands out at sea). Another point of reference is the Daymark tower at the entrance to the Camel Estuary. The house and outside relaxing and entertaining spaces are all very much focussed on the seaward view and this has only been enhanced by our clients during their approximately 16 years of ownership. The house is of classic broad double fronted style with added interest from small windows to either side of the entrance door, Delabole slate hanging to the first floor around the house and a hipped Delabole slate roof with brick chimneys. Matching hipped slate roofed wings are angled to either side, to the west providing a hall, boot room, study, utility and shower room and to the east an open fronted double garage and separately accessed workshop. During the renovation of the property our clients replaced all the woodwork with a very high quality of workmanship on show. The house has also been insulated where possible, the windows are double glazed, works were undertaken throughout the house where necessary and it has also been replumbed with a new Grant oil fired boiler fitted only about 3 years ago. The main body of the house provides three large through rooms under high ceilings including an initial dining hall with a section of glazing having double doors opening onto the deck facing the view. Inside the front door is the original Minton tiling and a staircase rises to the first floor. To one side is the splendid sitting room with huge bay window and fireplace with a Clearview woodburning stove. To the other is a kitchen/breakfast room also with a large bay window and with maple fronted units under granite worktops and an Aga. An inner hall gives access to the other rooms from here. On the first floor are four bedrooms and the principle bathroom with all the sanitaryware by Lefroy Brookes and the extremely attractive high quality mosaic tiling in this room was carried out by a specialist team who came down from London. Should anyone wish for more accommodation in this majestic position then there are various possible options to extend, subject to planning.

Our clients have also completely redesigned and replanted the garden with the aid of an expert team and this is evident immediately one enters the circular driveway with its central ornamental pear tree ringed with hebe and agapanthus. Wonderful beds surround the house and differing areas either make the most of the views or provide shelter. The garden also overlooks the adjacent level field which provides wonderful amenity space and also protects the outlook. Houses of this quality, privacy and style are seldom found in such desirable locations and Tredower is also blessed with some of the most extraordinary views of any home in Cornwall.

LOCATION It is only a short drive from the house to Porthcothan Bay and Constantine Bay which is flanked by the further beaches at Booby’s Bay and Treyarnon Bay. These four beaches are excellent for surfing and have many small coves and rock pools ideal for sunbathing and children to play. Also close by are Harlyn Bay and Mother Ivey’s Bay beaches which are more sheltered from the prevailing westerly swells making them ideal for swimming. This stretch of coastline is one of Cornwall’s most popular and least spoilt with rugged headlands protruding between the beaches all linked by the South West Coast Path which meanders along the entire coastline of Cornwall with nearby beautiful walks including around the National Trust Trevose Head and Stepper Point at the mouth of the Camel Estuary. The Camel Estuary is also within only a few miles and offers sheltered waters ideal for sailing, kayaking, waterskiing and in more breezy conditions, windsurfing and kite surfing. Trevose Golf and Country Club is also within a couple of miles and has a championship standard course and there are many other activities in the local area. Close by are the villages of Constantine Bay and St Merryn which offers a range of day to day facilities including an excellent primary school and a gourmet pub. The nearby town of Padstow has many others including a supermarket. Padstow has become famous in recent years due to Rick Stein’s seafood television programmes and the town has flourished with restaurants, cafés and artisan shops throughout its narrow streets and around the harbourside with sea adventure trips and sailing club. A little further along the coast to the

Ref: LCAA6889 5

south is Mawgan Porth and the Scarlet Hotel and Spa and beyond this is Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant at Watergate Bay. On the opposite side of the Camel Estuary is the resort village of Rock which is renowned for sailing, St Enodoc Golf course and various top dining venues nearby, for foodies it is Nathan Outlaw territory. Wadebridge is the largest town in the area and has a sports centre and cinema as well as being on the Camel bicycle trail which runs from Padstow to Bodmin Moor. The nearest mainline train station is at Bodmin Parkway and road access to the area is good via either the Atlantic Highway or the main A30 dual carriageway which links to the motorway network at Exeter. Only a few miles to the south is Newquay Airport at St Mawgan which offers internal and international flights including a regular service to London. Truro is only 35 minutes’ drive away.

OUTSIDE

Ref: LCAA6889 9

The property is approached over a driveway with a separate entrance off leading to the house and then a continuation of this drive leads to a gate into the field. A neighbouring farmer can also use this driveway but our clients have confirmed to us that it is impractical for him to do so as he has a more simple means of access to his land. To the front of the beautiful house is a tarmac turning circle around a bed with a central ornamental pear tree then ringed consecutively by agapanthus, hebe and box. Around the outside of the drive are shrubs, trees and hedging plants as well as further flowering plants including a bed of agapanthus across the face of house. A slate path leads between hedging into the garden and two openings give access to the:- OPEN FRONTED DOUBLE GARAGE – 20’5” x 15’6”. High vaulted ceiling, additional area to one side ideal for a bin and recycling, here there are also power points and a water tap. Storage area over the top of the separately accessed workshop. WORKSHOP – 13’ x 12’ max. Broad door and window onto the rear garden, power and light. GARDEN STORE – 7’ x 4’8”. Set in the garden slightly away from the house. Pedestrian door, block built construction with an insulated slate roof. In the centre at the rear of the house is a large elevated deck positioned between the bay windows and with fitted bench seating and inset floor lights all designed to give a wonderful relaxing and entertaining space where one can take in the views over the landscaped garden, the property’s own field, countryside and across the sea. The garden to the rear of the house is extremely well stocked with wide broken slate pathways leading between the wide array of interesting and very different varieties of plants including larger shrubs and trees, grasses, hebes, hydrangeas, ground cover plants and agapanthus amongst many others. Below the deck is a curving broken slate patio between the thick and well shaped hedges which give shelter to the garden. The curving front of this area is mirrored by estate fencing providing a clear outlook over the field. To one side a pergola leads to a gate onto the main driveway and here there is also a BOILER HOUSE containing the recently renewed Grant oil fired boiler with the oil tank concealed beside.

Ref: LCAA6889 10

To the other side of the house is the most sheltered spot in the garden with thick cut hedges edging a gorgeous slate patio overlooking further interesting beds with the slate paving continuing around to the driveway. The paving also leads past lower flower beds and around the side of the garden store to an enclosed and very productive vegetable garden with a water tap beside it. A further gate opens through the hedge to an area of lawn with a further vehicular gate opening into the field.

The field conveniently stretches away from the house on the view side therefore protecting the immediate outlook. The field is surrounded by mature Cornish hedges and some trees and shrubs. There are two gates from the far end of the field opening into a neighbouring farmer’s land and he a right to access through them but has not done so in recent memory as he has more convenient routes through his own land.

equipment. All buyers should rely on their own surveys and investigations in connection with any purchase of the property. All measurements, floor plans, dimensions, acreages and distances are approximate only and should not be relied upon for accuracy. AGENT’S NOTE 2 – Our clients also own the field and barn to the west of Tredower and have recently gained planning permission to convert the barn into a residence. They intend to close the current gateway between the two fields but will need to instate a new gateway and slightly change the boundary of the field being sold with Tredower to allow them access to their new home. This can be seen on the plan and will not affect the desirability or privacy of Tredower. OFFICE OPENING HOURS – Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.30pm. Saturday - 9.00am to 1.00pm.
