Property description
Trebreak Cottage is a traditional Cornish cottage which has retained much of its original character. Of particular note is a lovely exposed beam ceiling to the principal reception room together with inglenook fireplace flanked by granite uprights and incorporating cloam oven. Typical of its era floor to ceiling heights are low and the first floor accommodation has hipped ceilings.
The property has potential for extension of the living accommodation particularly in the form of a first floor extension over the kitchen to provide perhaps a first floor bathroom or third bedroom. In addition there is scope to extend the off road car parking if required.
Trebreak Cottage is situated in the hamlet of Trebreak which comprises a handful of properties set
midway between the villages of Canworthy Water and Splatt. Launceston market town is some 8 miles and the North Cornish coast is a little further in the opposite direction.
In all directions from Trebreak Cottage there is natural scenery of outstanding beauty. To the north is the stunning North Cornish coast famed for surfing beaches and quaint former fishing villages flanked by National Trust cliff scenery. To the west the open stretches of Bodmin Moor, to the east Dartmoor National Park and running southwards the hidden treasures of the Tamar Valley famed for Salmon
fishing and steeped in 18th Century mining history.
Launceston provides a full range of social, commercial and shopping facilities. Beyond the city of
Exeter (49 miles) accessed via the A30 dual carriageway spine road provides intercity rail link,
international airport and M5 motorway link.
