Pengreep Cottage – A Characterful Country Home in Nearly One Acre of Gardens.

Tucked away in a wonderfully private setting and bordered by rolling, unspoilt countryside, Pengreep Cottage is an individual and highly atmospheric detached residence set within grounds approaching one acre. Once part of the neighbouring Pengreep Estate, the property has evolved into a spacious and versatile 3/4 bedroom home offering a rare blend of rural tranquillity, timeless character and modern comforts. Its position is exceptionally convenient, lying just one mile from Ponsanooth, 1.5 miles from Perranwell, and within easy reach of Penryn, Falmouth, Truro and Redruth.

A Welcoming, Character Rich Interior.

The property opens into a generous dining hall centred around a striking inglenook fireplace with log burner, exposed stonework and beamed ceiling—an instantly warm and inviting space. The 28ft living room is equally impressive, with four deep-set windows capturing views over the gardens and a second inglenook fireplace featuring a log-burner and original bread oven.

A separate study provides an adaptable room ideal as a home office, studio or fourth bedroom, with triple aspect windows and direct access to the garden.

To the rear, the recently extended L shaped kitchen/breakfast room offers excellent family space. Cream Shaker-style cabinetry, polished stone worktops, a large range-cooker recess and abundant storage create a practical yet attractive kitchen environment. A broad utility/second kitchen adjoins the space, providing further work surfaces, storage and external access.

Upstairs, three charming bedrooms all benefit from vaulted ceilings and exposed roof timbers, enhancing the cottage’s traditional character. The double-aspect principal bedroom features built-in storage and a private en suite shower room. A modern family bathroom with contemporary fittings serves the remaining rooms.

Beautiful Grounds Approaching One Acre.

The property is approached via a private driveway that leads to a sweeping circular drive framed by lawns, mature shrubs and specimen planting. To one side, a substantial block-built triple garage with pitched roof, solar panels and an EV charging point provides exceptional storage and parking capacity, along with a greenhouse and log store.

The gardens are rich with variety and interest, offering multiple areas to explore and enjoy. To the front, well-stocked beds, lawns and a summerhouse take in wonderful views across the grounds. To the rear, a broad gravel terrace runs the full width of the cottage, leading on to lawns bordered by countryside, a kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit cage, a pond with rockery edging, and numerous established shrubs including hydrangeas, camellias and rhododendrons. Additional garden stores, pathways and sheltered seating areas complete the outdoor space.

A Rare Opportunity.

Pengreep Cottage represents a special chance to acquire a thoughtfully extended, beautifully presented country home in a wonderfully private setting—yet only minutes from nearby villages and major transport links. With its generous interiors, extensive gardens and abundance of character, it offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of mid-Cornwall’s most picturesque locations.
