Owner's Description

The barns at Hockadays were built in the 17th century and were used for farming purposes until 1986. They are situated at Tregenna, an attractive hamlet of some six properties. The village of Blisland is half a mile away.

Two small cottages have been created each suitable for couples. The cottages combine comfort with all the original character of the building including open beams, wooden lintels, small paned windows and cottage doors.

The cottages are similar in size with a sitting room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Demelza cottage has the sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor with the bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

Rowella cottage is in reverse with the sitting room and kitchen on the first floor, the entrance being through the opening to the original hayloft.

The sitting rooms are furnished in cottage style and there are wall lights, prints and a colour television.

Demelza cottage has loose rugs over a polished slate floor and Rowella cottage has loose rugs over a varnished wooden floor.

The fitted kitchens are pleasant and convenient to use and fully in character with the cottages. There is a full size cooker, microwave, refrigerator, spin drier, kettle, toaster, ironing board and iron.
