Very spacious, comfortable family home in the heart of Wadebridge, extended and modernised, but retaining original features
Tremar is an elegant semi-detached town house with decorative use of brick contrasting with the pale stone façade, and the original Victorian leaded glass front door with gilded, glazed Tremar panel above. Believed to have been built before 1890, numerous attractive original features are remarkably intact and are complemented by the modern renovation.
The entrance hall is particularly bright and welcoming, combining the original terrazzo floor with eye catching décor. To the left is the drawing room, also impressively updated. A wide box bay window, combined with the high ceiling, gives a sense of generous space, while the fireplace assures of cosiness when needed.
Next is the Art Deco sitting room, decorated around the style of the mid c. 20th fireplace. In both reception rooms attractively textured ceilings with picture rails and architrave signify the attention to detail in the original architectural design.
Continuing through the hall, is an under-stair cupboard and door out to a passage that is an alternative entrance from the front garden, with boot and coat storage and a wc.
The kitchen is a lovely open space, newly refitted with pale grey ceramic floor tiles, darker grey units and matching counter tops. An extension with three large skylights and five bifold doors floods this dining area with natural light and provides an attractive view southwest, beyond the courtyard to the wooded hillside of Coronation Park.Off the kitchen is a small laundry and utility room.
At the top of the first flight of stairs turn left to the principal bedroom, a generously sized room with a very pretty, white fireplace with tiled surround and a freestanding nickel plated, copper bath in the recessed bay window. Plantation window shutters preserve the bather's privacy, however, when open there is a lovely view across the river to the woods of Gonvena Hill, the playing fields and Egloshayle.
The adjoining smaller bedroom shares the same easterly aspect and views over the river. It is currently used as a guest room with a single bed but could fit a double.
The second large bedroom has an en suite shower room, fitted with a very modern suite and grey tiles. An original Art Nouveau fireplace is a feature of this bedroom as is the large window overlooking the rear courtyard garden. Throughout the house the windows have been updated with double glazed UPVC sash windows.
At the end of the landing is a step down to a bathroom, beautifully tiled and with a deep rolltop freestanding bath and wide shower, a luxurious room indeed.
A landing window and a Velux panel throw light onto stairs to the second floor where there is a bedroom suite comprising a large bedroom with en suite shower room. A study area in the bay window recess affords such a great view as to distract from any studying. Here the ceiling slopes but there is good ceiling height in the centre of the room and plenty of under eaves storage.
This is a very attractive house, thoughtfully modernised with high quality fittings, décor and all the facilities a family might need, most importantly space.
Tremar was reroofed in 2021. The front garden has original paving, quarry tile steps and a lawn with flower beds. The gravelled courtyard to the rear of the house, onto which the dining room opens, has a decked barbecue area and another decked platform at the far end. Facing southwest, this is a good spot to enjoy afternoon and evening sunshine. Shrub and flower borders soften the space which is surrounded by stone walls and a high wooden fence with a gate to the parking area and the garden tool shed. Access to the parking spaces is from Hill Road.
