Trevelo Cottage

On the market for the first time in 90 years, this former farm cottage is tucked away at the end of a lane on the western fringes of Truro and includes approximately 5 acres of land and outbuildings.


A detached stone built, former farm cottage presenting an opportunity to modernise and remodel a traditional home. At ground floor there is an entrance porch opening into a dining room with Rayburn, a cosy lounge and a kitchen with downstairs wc and large porch to the rear. At first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The cottage has been re-roofed at some point in the past and double glazed windows have been installed.

Outside

To the front there is a lawn garden to one corner of which there is a dilapidated stone built former privy and to the rear the garden opens into part of the land, currently set out in three enclosures bordered by Cornish hedging.

The Land

The land has a gently southerly slope and has not been worked for a number of years. At the top of the fields is a large Shed/Workshop (40’ x 16’), whilst closer to the cottage there is a detached two storey stone barn with attached Tractor Shed ( 31’ x 18’), plus additional storage sheds.

One of the most attractive features of this home is the fact that it is located at the end of an unadopted lane overlooking it’s land in the a south-westerly direction with only one neighbour. Whilst enjoying such a high degree of rural privacy, it is certainly not isolated! The lane joins ¼ of a mile away the A390 from Chiverton Cross roundabout at Penstraze, it is a particularly central location. Treliske hospital, Richard Lander School and the Langarth park and ride are less than 3 miles distant whilst a grocery store, chemist, doctors, dentist, Post Office, Spar shop and Coop are all closer to hand. 3 miles on from the hospital and you are in Truro City centre where there is the wide range of shopping, worshiping, parking and entertainment facilities one would expect of Cornwall’s primary towns. The close proximity to the A30 provides quick and easy access to all corners of the County including famed beaches like Porthtowan, St Agnes, and Perranporth, each of which is within a 5 mile radius.
