Accommodation overview: Set in a wonderful position just 200 yards from sheltered sandy Daymer Bay, this charming detached house of great character is set at the end of the lane to the beach in the small village of Trebetherick, midway between Rock and Polzeath.  One of the oldest dwellings in the parish, Torquil Cottage was originally two ancient cottages which were later joined together and extended, and is now a much loved, traditionally furnished family home. 

A slate path runs all along the front of the house from which the front door opens into a small entrance hall.  To one side is a sunny drawing room with lounge seating arranged before the fireplace and a step down leads to a garden room with patio furniture.  A central dining room with the original slate flagstones has a larder and a glazed exterior door, and at the rear is a fitted kitchen with an oil fired Aga for cooking, and access to the garden.

There are two double bedrooms with 5ft beds, a twin bedroom with a concealed staircase leading down to the snug, a bunk bedroom with sturdy 3ft pine bunks and a small children’s room with a 2ft 6in single bed and a glimpse of the sea.  Care is needed throughout the property as there are low beams, doorways and headroom on the staircase. 

There is a large, sheltered and landscaped garden to the rear with wide lawns, shrubs and hedges; the garden is enclosed when the garage is closed.  An outbuilding provides a useful laundry area, with garden W.C. and shower facilities and there is a drive-through garage (clearance 6ft 6in high x 7ft 6in wide) which leads to a slate-chipped parking area with space for 3 cars. 

There is a seasonal beach shop 2 minutes’ walk away, a café/restaurant at the top of the hill and Trebetherick village store and newsagent less than half a mile away.  Daymer Bay is an all year dog friendly beach; at low tide the sand stretches as far south as Rock where a foot ferry operates to the harbour town of Padstow.
