About this property

… about 2 miles from St Kew is Tretawn, a handsome, detached, Grade II* listed, 16th/17th cent. manor house surrounded by 5 acres of garden and woodland with big, wide sweeping gravel forecourt. It forms part of the Lamellen Estate which is still managed by its Cornish owners. Doubtless only the Cornish language was heard within its thick walls during those early centuries and probably a few barrels of fine French brandy were left in its secret places, safe from the Customs men – a time when everyone, from magistrates to tin miners, was involved in a little alternative income!

 

It is 100 yards back from the A39, with huge lawn at the back (fields beyond) with garden furniture, barbecue, Wendy house and adjacent barns housing an indoor heated swimming pool (28’ x 14’ x 4' deep, changing room, loo, poolside shower) and games area (table tennis, full-sized snooker table, darts, TV, larder fridge, sink). Partly covered dog run (15' x 5'). About 300 yards away are 100 acres of private woodland to walk or cycle, with the Allen River flowing through.

 

Inside, big and roomy with ample space for everyone. Fine open porch to hall; to the left, big living room, separated from the hall by Elizabethan oak panelling, with fireplace (woodburner), TV/Sky/DVD and huge mullioned windows (window seats); to the right of the hall, snug/reading room (TV/DVD) with electric woodburner-effect fire. Double doors from living room to substantial dining room and then to big fitted kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer) with  Aga (gas and electric ovens); boot room (fridge-freezer) with door to garage; shower-room (suite). Along the back of the house, large play area-cum-hall with woodburner and door to garden terrace (bench/seats); utility room (washing machine, tumble drier, sink, loo).

 

Two staircases (original steep spiral with rope rail and conventional) up to family bathroom (suite, shower over bath) and seven bedrooms:

-   Huge double (6’ zip-linked bed or twin) up 3 steps with TV and 4 steps into en suite bathroom (suite, shower over bath)

    "We spent a very enjoyable family holiday at Tretawn , ages ranged from 8 weeks through to 61 years. A well presented house with room for all to relax .Swimmi g pool was a good size and was an excellent addition. We would definitely visit again to enjoy a large family get together."
