At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. This is a room that effortlessly blends old and new – flagstone floors underfoot, an original bread oven adding a touch of history, and a carefully considered kitchen centred around a large freestanding island unit, creating both a practical workspace and a sociable focal point Open shelving and simple finishes keep the aesthetic relaxed and unfussy, perfectly in keeping with the coastal lifestyle
The sitting room is equally inviting, with warm oak flooring and a wood-burning stove forming a cosy focal point – ideal for cooler evenings after a day on the beach Throughout, thoughtful restoration has ensured that original features are retained and celebrated, while modern touches enhance comfort and usability.
The outside space at Lilac Cottage is as charming and thoughtfully considered as the interior, offering both privacy and versatility
To the rear, an enclosed garden provides a sheltered and peaceful retreat Framed by fencing softened with established planting, it has a relaxed, natural feel – a space to unwind, dine outdoors or simply enjoy the quiet surroundings
To the front, the cottage is approached through a pretty wooden gate, set within traditional stone walling that beautifully frames the garden. This area offers ample space for outdoor seating, creating a welcoming spot to sit, relax and enjoy the setting, with the cottage façade providing a quintessential Cornish backdrop.
Lilac Cottage is perfectly positioned within the peaceful hamlet of Trevarrian, a sought-after coastal setting that offers the best of North Cornwall’s lifestyle – tranquil, unspoilt and effortlessly connected to some of the county’s most iconic beaches.
Just a short walk of around 10 minutes leads you to both Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth. Watergate Bay is renowned for its expansive golden sands, rolling surf and vibrant coastal scene, while Mawgan Porth offers a slightly more sheltered and relaxed feel, with its own beautiful beach, village amenities and popular cafés and restaurants.
The surrounding coastline is simply exceptional, with miles of dramatic clifftop walks and hidden coves to explore Whether it’s early morning swims, surfing, or long coastal walks followed by lunch overlooking the sea, this is a location that truly embraces outdoor living.
Perfectly positioned between Padstow and Newquay, the cottage benefits from easy access to a wide range of amenities, from renowned restaurants and boutique shops to excellent transport links. Despite this convenience, Trevarrian retains a quiet, tucked-away feel – making it an ideal retreat from the pace of everyday life
