Situation

Trenowth is a scattered hamlet set in the rolling countryside on the south eastern side of Bodmin Moor. The house stands surrounded by Trenowth Wood, which runs down to the upper reaches of the River Fal. It is designated as an area of Great Landscape Value and is in a central position between the north and south coasts with their varied interest of beaches, rocky cliffs and sheltered creeks. It is also midway between the towns of Truro and St Austell. Truro is the administrative centre of Cornwall and has excellent amenities including good private and public schooling, varied shops and commercial opportunities. Communications to Cornwall and Trenowth in particular are recently greatly improved with 6 daily flights to London Gatwick and Stanstead from the airport at Newquay only 10 miles to the north. The A30 is now mostly dual carriageway to the M5 at Exeter, and provides a fast road access to within 4 miles of the house. The mainline railway at Truro and St Austell has regular Intercity services including a sleeper service to London Heathrow.
Cornwall is renowned for the variety of its land and seascapes particularly its coastline and Bodmin Moor. In addition its long and prosperous history based on mining, sea faring and agriculture has produced many beautiful houses and gardens that prosper in the county’s benign maritime climate. For recreation there are a number of challenging golf courses, many opportunities for boating and sailing along the creeks and estuaries along the south coast and word class surfing along the wilder beaches of the north coast.
