This picture-perfect three-bedroom cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, characterful home in the peaceful hamlet of Trequite, within the highly desirable parish of St Kew. With its white-painted five-bar gate, attractive stone façade, and well-tended front garden, the property instantly radiates classic Cornish charm. The setting is truly idyllic—tranquil and semi-rural, yet just moments from the dramatic North Cornwall coast.
Inside, the cottage has been thoughtfully modernised to a high standard, combining contemporary comfort with a wealth of original features. Exposed beams, natural stonework, and bespoke finishes create a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a timeless sense of style.
A generous entrance hall sets the tone and leads to a beautifully appointed kitchen and a ground-floor double bedroom with en suite shower room. The hallway also provides access to a cloakroom/WC and includes a built-in storage cupboard—ideal for coats and shoes.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining room (16’8” x 12’8”), featuring light wood cabinetry, a classic Aga, integrated appliances, and a combination of painted floorboards, exposed stone, and timber beams. A farmhouse table fits comfortably, making it perfect for relaxed entertaining. Adjoining this space is a delightful garden room (18’6” x 8’1”) with French doors opening onto the garden—an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The sitting room (16’6” x 14’1”) is centred around a striking stone fireplace with a cream coloured Yotul gas fire. With painted floorboards, exposed beams, and carefully considered décor, it offers a cosy yet elegant retreat.
The ground-floor bedroom (12’5” x 9’6”) with en suite shower room provides excellent flexibility—ideal for private guest accommodation or single-level living.
Stairs from the sitting room lead to a first-floor landing and two generously proportioned bedrooms (16’10” x 13’9” and 13’ x 9’10”), both featuring original ceiling beams and exposed stonework. They are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, complete with claw-foot roll-top bath, high-level WC, and exposed timber flooring—echoing the cottage’s abundant character.
Outside, the south-west facing garden is both private and low-maintenance, with a mix of gravelled and lawned areas, mature planting, and a terrace ideal for al fresco dining. A timber summerhouse adds charm and versatility, while a private parking area behind the five-bar gate offers both security and convenience.
This is a truly special opportunity to secure a beautiful character cottage in one of North Cornwall’s most desirable locations—equally suited as a permanent residence or an idyllic weekend retreat.
Trequite is a picturesque hamlet nestled amidst rolling countryside in the sought-after parish of St Kew. Peaceful and timeless, yet exceptionally well connected, it offers the best of both worlds—a rural setting just minutes from the spectacular North Cornwall coastline and a short drive from the vibrant market town of Wadebridge.
Nearby St Kew Churchtown is home to the highly regarded St Kew Inn—a destination pub renowned for its warm atmosphere and excellent food—set beside the village’s medieval church and just a short stroll down the hill from Menehay. The iconic fishing village of Port Isaac, famed for its heritage and gastronomic scene, lies just a short drive away. The golden sands and surf of Polzeath, along with the waterside charm of Rock overlooking the Camel Estuary, are also within easy reach.
Wadebridge, just 4 miles away, offers an excellent range of amenities, including independent shops, supermarkets, coffee houses, pubs, and bars, alongside schooling for all ages and various sports and leisure facilities. The town sits on the scenic Camel River and serves as a gateway to the ever-popular Camel Trail—a walking and cycling route leading downstream to Padstow or upstream through the Camel Valley.
For lovers of good food, the area is a culinary hotspot. Outstanding pubs are found in the surrounding villages of St Tudy, St Mabyn, and St Teath. For true foodies, highlights include Nathan Outlaw’s two Michelin-starred restaurants in Port Isaac; Paul Ainsworth’s Mariners and the St Enodoc Hotel in Rock; his renowned No.6 in Padstow; and Rick Stein’s iconic establishments along Padstow’s harbour.
The cottage also enjoys excellent transport links, with Bodmin Parkway station just over 13 miles away, offering direct services to London Paddington. Newquay Airport, approximately 17 miles distant, provides regional and national flights. Road connections are equally convenient, with both the A39 Atlantic Highway and the A30 trunk road within easy reach—offering swift access across Cornwall and beyond.
