Off the kitchen courtyard the path sweeps past the bespoke greenhouse and divides into two paths. The higher climbs past lavender attracting multitudes of butterflies in the summer months and a dry rockery full of thyme, oregano and other rock plants up to the top lawn.

At every turn there are vistas, colour all year and lots of privacy.

Seller’s Comments

Frequently Asked Questions About Thatch:

What is it like to live under?
Quiet. Provides good heat and sound insulation alike. We often sleep through the Cornish storms when everyone else is talking about them and the aftermath! There are no gutters and downpipes to maintain and the large overhang means that first floor windows can be left open in the rain.

Are thatched roofs rare in Cornwall?
Not at all. There are fourteen in Feock and quite a few along the south coastal areas as well as inland. Far less likely in the north of Cornwall as there are fewer creeks which historically, was where all the reed was grown.

The price includes a new thatch. The current vendors have booked this to be carried out in March - weather dependant.
