GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION

It is rare to find a property in this particular geographic location with a sizeable parcel of land. Hawthorn Cottage occupies a roadside position in the hamlet of Trethewell and has a paddock of about three-quarters of an acre in addition to a large rear garden. It is a traditional Cornish cottage, believed to have been thatched originally, and whilst carefully modernised and updated over the years it now warrants refurbishment. It has been a cherished home for the same family for about 100 years but it is acknowledged that a future owner may want to completely remodel the cottage or perhaps even demolish with a possible consent to build away from the road and take advantage of the lovely rural views.The property also boasts a substantial single storey outbuilding with an adjoining garage and this may offer potential for conversion to an annex or similar, subject to any necessary planning consent. Trethewell is a mere cluster of mainly traditional cottages and character properties bordering the road on the edge of St Just in Roseland village deep within the Roseland Peninsula. The village is most widely known for its historic church and churchyard set beside the beautiful tidal creek where subtropical plants grow alongside the native trees and flora. Here is also a popular cafe/tea room. The village has a bus route which goes via surrounding villages to Truro. The property is also close to St Mawes and this has an international reputation as one of the country's most sought after areas in which to reside with a distinctive Mediterranean atmosphere. The village of St Mawes provides a good selection of individual shops including a small supermarket, delicatessen, hotels, restaurants, inns, primary school and a very active sailing club. The whole of the Roseland Peninsula is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers superb scenery and walks, a number of beautiful beaches, coves and a general feeling of peace and tranquility. At St. Mawes there is a passenger ferry to the historic harbour town of Falmouth and the King Harry car ferry provides for an easy commute to Falmouth and the Cathedral city of Truro.

THE COTTAGE

The original part of the building is thought to be a mixture of stone and cob construction with rendered elevations. A single storey flat-roofed extension was added in more recent times to the rear to accommodate a kitchen and bathroom and all windows have been replaced with double glazed units. Overall the property has been well maintained but internal facilities are somewhat old-fashioned and in need of replacement.
