Location

Tregellist is a small hamlet in St Kew parish, a short distance from the parish road connecting St Kew to Port Isaac and St Endellion. The lane ends here, so there is no through traffic, and it is as peacefully rural as to be found in North Cornwall.

Just a mile away is the B3314 coastal route connecting Rock, Polzeath, Port Isaac and Trebarwith. At the centre of St Kew is the primary school, the beautiful parish church, the village hall and the award-winning, 15th century St Kew Inn. Wadebridge is conveniently close for schools, independent shops, supermarkets, sports centre, sports clubs, pubs and hotels, either side of the historic bridge over the picturesque River Camel.

Description

Set in a peaceful and private position within the charming rural hamlet of Tregellist, Tomphanny Barn is an impressive stone-built barn conversion offering beautifully proportioned accommodation across three floors. Thoughtfully restored and extended by the current owners, the property blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary living, creating a warm and characterful home just a short distance from the dramatic North Cornwall coastline.

The main house offers four well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom and en suite bathroom are based on the upper floor. Three further bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, with all rooms offering individual charm and character, including exposed beams and aluminium double glazed windows are all on the lower floor.

The living accommodation is equally impressive. As you enter on the middle floor, the open-plan kitchen, with walk in larder, separate utility room and dining area forms the heart of the home, combining rustic features with modern fittings to create a sociable and practical space for family life or entertaining. A spacious sitting room is up a few steps, benefits from large windows and exposed stonework with a modern wood burner. The thoughtful layout allows for natural light to flow throughout, enhancing the warm, inviting atmosphere.

Externally, the property is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped, multi-level garden, planted with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and flowering borders. A stone terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, while a series of elevated seating areas capture the sun at different times of day. At the top of the garden, a timber summer house provides a peaceful hideaway with views across the garden.

Accessed via a quiet country lane, Tomphanny Barn offers private driveway parking for at least three vehicles. In addition to the main house, a detached one-bedroom annexe – converted from the original garage – provides further self-contained accommodation. Complete with a generous en suite bathroom and adjoining storeroom, the annexe offers excellent potential for guests, extended family, or holiday letting.

Discreetly positioned yet highly accessible, Tomphanny Barn offers a rare combination of rural tranquillity and coastal proximity. The renowned beaches and harbours of North Cornwall, including Port Isaac, Polzeath and Daymer Bay, are all within easy reach, making this a superb opportunity to acquire a characterful and versatile home in one of Cornwall’s most desirable locations.
