Set in grounds interspersed with woodland and carpeted in daffodils, primroses and bluebells in spring and early summer, this charming cottage takes its name from the magnificent old lime tree that it overlooks. Forming a wing of a most remarkable country house, this delightful creeper clad cottage with its pretty lattice windows dates back to the 1800s.
Acquired by a Duchess in the 1930's, an eminent architect was commissioned to design the intriguing art deco house that now forms the other wing. Standing in 7 acres of land at the head of the Allen Valley this is a secluded country setting lying less than a mile from the village of St Teath with its pub and village stores providing useful amenities and just three miles from the north coast beach of Trebarwith Strand, but also bordering a good touring route. A period cottage of authentic charm and character, its rambling interior boasts slate flagstone floors, beamed ceilings and a warm, welcoming ambience. Offering space for larger family groups, all rooms are tastefully complimented by a mix of traditional and modern furnishings which combine to create an informal backdrop for a relaxing stay. A granite stone Inglenook complete with original cloam oven and an ornate electric fire is a focal feature of the comfortable lounge and across the wide reception hall lies a separate dining room. Fitted in a range of modern limed oak cabinets, the kitchen still retains its 'old world charm'. Upstairs curiously sloping floors in various bedrooms are evidence of the age of the cottage, but in sharp contrast, both the en-suite bath and shower rooms are very modern. Ideal for families, lazy summer days can be idled away in the garden enjoying time together, then when your spirits are restored you will find the Camel trail, Padstow, Rock, Polzeath, Port Isaac and superb surfing beaches all within easy driving distance. There is parking for three cars.
