Description

A fantastic detached 3 bedroom all en-suite traditional cottage with superb architect design extension which truly offers the best of both worlds set in large gardens of just over 1 acre in a beautiful rural setting.  Freehold.  Council Tax Band D.  EPC rating C. Tinkers Cottage is a fine example of a detached character property believed to have been constructed circa 1840 of mainly stone, part cob under a natural slate roof.  A more recent architect design extension was added in 2011 of traditional block construction and externally stone faced with slate roof.  As can be seen on the photographs and video tour we believe the vendors have created an amazing addition to this traditional cottage which provides the best of both worlds in terms of modern conveniences and of course character original features.  The original cottage has 2 bedrooms both with en-suite facilities, vaulted ceilings and single glazed timber windows whilst the feature extension has a large bedroom together with beautiful sitting area and large en-suite bathroom. There is interesting information about the origins of the cottage drawn from the St Kew parish <em>History</em>.  In a mark of the cottage's character, it was used as a film location in the 1970's.  It is also a haven for nature with a variety of habitats.  The current vendors have been keen gardeners and have greatly extended the tree planting begun, with a few specimen trees, by the previous owners.  They have planted a large number and variety of native trees, specimen trees and fruit trees and have similarly enhanced the range of wildflowers across meadow, hedgerow, woodland and pond. The property is situated just outside the hamlet of Trelill within the parish of St Kew.  The nearest village is at St Kew Highway with the former market town of Wadebridge and the beautiful North Cornish coastline just a few miles away.  Externally the property has quite a small driveway with off street parking and is set in a large plot as can be seen on the photographs with areas of formal garden, steps and various terraced areas.  There is an area of woodland on the Trelill side, while on the other side the ground, which has been landscaped, opens into a wildflower meadow flanked by trees, with views to the fields and woods beyond. The accommodation comprises with all measurements being approximate:- Stable Entrance DoorTo Kitchen/Dining Room -
