Two large double glazed windows to the front, a further double glazed window to the rear and a near full height double glazed bay to the rear, all help fill the room with light, as does the glazed door to the courtyard.

A recessed small hall has a utility cupboard off and period style doors to both the vaulted ceilinged double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and the large well specified shower room. LOCATION Tregye Cottage is found in the hamlet of Tregye between Carnon Downs and Feock in quiet countryside. A footpath leads from the end of the no-through lane out into the countryside and links up with other footpaths before descending to the head of Penpol Creek, part of the larger Restronguet Creek. One can launch boats from the publicly accessible Point Quay at higher states of tide and the sheltered creek waters are ideal for learning to sail, rowing or bird watching at low tide.
