Higher Treglohan is a substantial, detached
period house, close to 2000 sq ft / 200 sq m, set
in an idyllic rural location, surrounded by a private
garden and farmland. The property is now in
need of complete refurbishment throughout,
including a new roof, and offers an exciting
opportunity for the new owner.
From the driveway, there is a garden path which
leads to a patio area adjacent to the property.
The property has two entrances, one at the rear
which enters through a large utility room, and one
at the front which enters through a porch which
leads into the double drawing room which spans
the entire front of the house.
The utility room leads into a hallway with stairs to
the first floor and doors to the kitchen, dining
room, downstairs WC and the incredible drawing
room which is over 27 ft / 8m long and has
wonderful natural light and fireplaces at either
end.
On the first floor you arrive initially on a large
landing with an impressive built-in linen
cupboard, a bathroom and a separate WC.
The property has lovely proportions, with high
ceilings and plenty of natural light coming through
the large windows. Once refurbished this will
make an exquisite rural residence.
Externally there is a lawned garden all around the
house, backing mainly onto fields. On the
approach to the property there is a parking area
and two large outbuildings that are included in the
sale.
Please note, there is a covenant on the property
which means that there is a 25% overage charge
if the outbuildings are developed into residential
accommodation. The covenant does not apply to
changes to the house itself.
The access road to the property is shared with
another house, Lower Treglohan, and
maintenance of the road is shared with this
property and a barn. This road also provides
access to a public footpath that leads down to the
sea and the South West Coast Path about 0.5km
away.
There is an additional piece of land, separate to
the garden, which is just off this driveway which is
currently overgrown and has ruined buildings on it
but could have a number of uses, such as boat
storage, additional parking, or keeping small
animals etc. This land is not included in the sale
but could be included as an optional extra.

LOCATION
Located on the rural outskirts of St Keverne, the property is
ideally situated for exploring the Lizard peninsula with
picturesque coastal villages such as Coverack and Porthoustock,
which can be accessed by walking along the South West Coast
Path.
St Keverne is the largest village in the Helford area and
somewhat unusual for Cornwall in that it is clustered around a
central square. This attractive square contains a number of
shops, 2 pubs (the White Hart and the Three Tuns), a handful of
cottages and is overlooked by the fifteenth century church of St
Akeveranus. The nearest town, Helston, is just under a half
hour's drive (around 12 miles) away.
The most southerly point of mainland Britain, the Lizard
peninsula is a place like no other. The sea seems a touch bluer,
the light a little brighter and the land a littler flatter! The geology
is unlike anywhere else in Cornwall, with rocks that formed 350
million years ago responsible for the unique landscape, a plateau
surrounded by robust sea cliffs, here and there providing a safe
haven for a small harbour or fishing village.
The Lizard peninsula provides unique opportunities for adventure
with a myriad of outdoor activities on your doorstep. Whether you
are into bird watching, hiking, sea kayaking or surfing, there truly
is something for everyone.
