Description

An exceptional opportunity to purchase a historic five-bedroom cottage set within approximately 2.5 acres in a highly desirable location.
This substantial property offers extensive potential both inside and out, making it an ideal purchase for those seeking a project, multi-generational living, or a home with significant scope for future development.
The cottage features a large main living area with a log burner, a spacious conservatory, and a flexible internal layout. The property is in need of modernisation, providing the perfect foundation for refurbishment, extension, or reconfiguration (subject to planning permission).
The real standout feature is the expansive land, offering a variety of opportunities. The grounds include multiple outbuildings—some set up as office spaces, others as workshops and storage sheds—providing excellent versatility for home working, creative spaces, or further conversion. The acreage lends itself well to landscaped gardens with smallholding potential.
A covered swimming pool, currently requiring work, presents the chance to restore a private leisure area or repurpose the building for alternative use.
With generous outdoor space, excellent privacy, and huge potential, this property represents a rare chance to secure a sizeable plot in a sought-after area, with ample scope to create a truly bespoke home.

Trevenna Cross is a peaceful rural hamlet positioned just outside the sought-after village of St Mawgan, surrounded by rolling countryside and the wooded valley of the River Menalhyl. The area offers a quintessential Cornish village atmosphere, with St Mawgan’s traditional pub, village store and post office, school, and historic church all close by, creating a welcoming and well-connected community feel.
Despite its tranquil setting, Trevenna Cross is ideally located for enjoying the best of Cornwall’s north coast. The stunning beach at Mawgan Porth is just a short drive away, along with miles of coastal paths, surf spots, and natural scenery. Newquay Cornwall Airport and the wider amenities of Newquay are also easily accessible, making this an exceptionally convenient yet charming countryside location.
