Seller Insight

Treglossick Farmhouse is a stunning property dating from the fifteenth century although there is evidence that a building has been on the site from the thirteenth century. It is a home of immense character and charm, where original features blend naturally with the sophistications of modern living. Fleur, the present owner, explains that she quite simply fell in love with the house, that has a warm and welcoming ambience, and a garden which wraps around the house, creating the sense of living in a tranquil and private bubble.

Fleur has made some interior alterations to the house, always working with great care to preserve and enhance the period features. The kitchen has been moved to its original position, whilst the old kitchen is now a ground floor bedroom/studio. As the living room was quite dark, the walls were taken back to the stone and relimed. During this process lintels, taken from a sailing ship, were uncovered and are now a stunning feature in the spacious, light room.

Every room has an enchanting ambience. The beams in the superb farmhouse kitchen, combine with the large table for twelve, comfy armchair and Aga to create an atmospheric, warm, and sociable hub, perfect for family and friends. The living room is a delight where the beams, inglenook and old cloam oven, form a room with a great sense of history but also an ultra comfortable modern setting where you can relax or entertain at least fourteen people. Fleur says she feels the house gives you warm hugs and the living room is a perfect example of this.

The glorious garden is an enchanting green and private world where you are surrounded by sub tropical plants, lawn, and shrubbery. You can settle by one of the three ponds or even sleep out in the summer. An al fresco meal in the sun filled courtyard garden is an almost Mediterranean experience. The garden is an idyllic and private oasis where you can destress and savour the beauty around you.

The farm enjoys an ideal location on the Lizard Peninsula and is only a short distance from the sea and the large village of St Keverne with Helston and Falmouth within easy reach. The area is an excellent holiday destination and Fleur says that if you vacate the house during the school summer holidays you have a very good income. She will miss the lovely life style she has enjoyed in the house but is sure the next owners will love it as she has.*
