The Olive Tree BarnTreviskey, Portloe, Roseland Peninsula, Nr. Truro, South Cornwall A beautiful provincial Mediterranean style 4/5 bedroomed barn conversion with annexe potential only ½ a mile from the coast and Portloe. A very private but not isolated property surrounded by gorgeous courtyard gardens incorporating an additional lawn with mature olive grove along with parking for plenty of vehicles and a detached garage and workshop. Conveniently located between the city of Truro and the sailing community of St Mawes.

DESCRIPTION • The Olive Tree Barn represents the highly infrequent opportunity

to acquire a stylish family home in the country in a pleasant rural locality – not isolated and with neighbours but within about ½ a mile from Portloe, one of the south coast’s most popular cove villages.

• Of exceedingly attractive external appearance with exposed stone elevations under a slated roof, The Olive Tree Barn exudes character and charm with numerous features including old pine doors, exposed pine beams, timber lintels, deep slated sills, a bespoke kitchen with timber worksurfaces and cast iron woodburning stove.

• The oil fired centrally heated flexible accommodation offers 4/5 bedrooms with very obvious annexe potential, if so required.

• All of the three principal reception rooms face over the enclosed Mediterranean style courtyard gardens and are of a good size and comfortable proportions, all having an abundance of features.

• The master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom along with separate shower sits at the top of its own private staircase with some views to the sea in the distance.

• An inner hall connects the kitchen/breakfast room and dining room with the family bathroom and bedroom 3 whilst the study/bedroom 5 is accessed from the far end of the drawing room.

• Surrounding the house are beautiful gardens that include beautiful well thought out hard landscaped Mediterranean style suntrap courtyards to both the front and rear along with a delightful area of lawned garden which incorporates a mature olive grove with bamboo boundaries. It is clear that an immense amount of thought, care and attention have gone into the gardens of The Olive Tree Barn and it is rare to see this kind of quality and design focussed not only on the inside but also in equal measure on the gardens.

• Completing the outside space there is driveway parking for numerous vehicles in front of a detached garage with workshop/studio as well as additional parking accessed through high twin opening timber gates.

• We really cannot overemphasise the infrequent availability of this type of property in such an important and desirable location and stress the need for very early viewing by appointment through the vendor’s sole agent to avoid disappointment.

• Ideal as either a main home or secure secondary residence.

LOCATION The hamlet of Treviskey is set well away from any road noise, in the beautiful Roseland countryside only half a mile from one of the south coast’s most popular cove villages. Portloe nestles at a point where two valleys reach the sea forming a natural harbour that has been a haven for fishermen for centuries. Surrounding the harbour are historic cottages and more grand houses, along with the Ship Inn pub and the Lugger Hotel which is open to non-residents. The South West Coastal Path leads away from Portloe in both directions along the rugged coastline towards Nare Head in the south and Portholland, Caerhays and Dodman Head in the east. The footpath descends to little known beaches surrounded by National Trust owned land and only a few miles to the west is the long sandy beach at Carne overlooking Gerrans Bay. A few miles to the west, the peninsula completely changes character from rugged cliffs to soft rolling countryside and creeks where the inns at Ruan Lanihorne, Philleigh and the Smugglers Inn by the water’s edge all offer great food.

A little over one mile away from Treviskey is the larger village of Veryan where there is a primary school, sports centre, inn and general stores/post office. A larger range of services can be found between the nearby villages of Tregony, Portscatho and St Mawes. The sailing community of St Mawes sits at the end of the Roseland Peninsula beside the Percuil River where there are deep moorings for yachts and a very active sailing club offering training for juniors, whilst budding windsurfers can join the T15 Club at Percuil. There are further deep water moorings at St Just in Roseland and the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) is regarded as one of the finest areas for sailing in the United Kingdom.

Secondary schooling is available at Tregony, whilst there are three private schools in Truro. Truro, around 15 minutes’ drive from Treviskey, is Cornwall’s capital city and has the largest range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities in the county along with supermarkets and trading estates on its outskirts. In the centre, there is a flagship Marks and Spencer store, a multi screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall theatre. Truro’s cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets are also home to many cafés and an ever expanding range of excellent restaurants.

To the side and rear From the parking area immediately in front of the detached garage, twin opening gates lead onto a paved hardstanding providing additional parking which ultimately opens up into a beautiful Mediterranean style hard landscaped garden with raised beds planted with a perfect blend of contrasting olive trees, bamboos and palms. From this area of courtyard there is pedestrian access to the ground floor and first floor of the main property as well as access through into what could potentially be used as the annexe.

Slate topped steps lead to a hidden area of lawn which leads to a secret olive grove with clearly defined bamboo boundaries and steps leading down to a pathway where you can either trace your steps back to the courtyard or carry on around the side of the property passing the French doors of the annexe leading through an area of sub-tropical garden with ferns and palms leading to a secret pond with seating area and ultimately the front.

Front From the parking area two timber pedestrian gates lead to an enclosed courtyard which has been beautifully hard landscaped in a Mediterranean style with raised beds and pots planted with olive trees, bamboos, palms and grasses to name but a few.

The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed via a stable door from this courtyard as is the lobby which leads into the drawing room. Whilst this courtyard has one boundary of mature bamboo and another of high dry stone walling there is a low level pedestrian gateway which opens up into yet another beautifully landscaped garden which again has been carefully thought out with raised beds containing mature olive trees, box hedging, bamboo boundaries and strategically placed architectural pots containing box. This area of garden provides access to the drawing room via French doors and leads ultimately to the side of the property which then connects to the rear.
