Happy Saturday! Today feels like first day of Spring here in London — so if you’re in the UK I hope you’re able to get out and enjoy this weather today. All of the cherry blossoms and magnolias are popping up on my street and it makes me so happy to see.

In honor of spring and longer warmer days ahead, I’m working on a few guides for Pub & Property, like my favorite gardens to visit and my favorite countyside roadtrips. Stay tuned!

Now on to this week’s feature: a breathtaking Victorian masterpiece designed by renowned Cornish architect Silvanus Trevail.

If you dream of a home that balances period grandeur with modern comfort, this five-bedroom maximalist haven might just be the one.

Home with History & Heart

Stepping through the stone and granite porch, you’re met with original oak floors, stained-glass windows, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and rich jewel-toned interiors that feel straight out of a historic novel. Every room in this 6,300 sq ft estate has been restored with care, blending heritage details with contemporary craftsmanship.

• The dining room, bathed in soft emerald light, boasts bay windows and an open fireplace, perfect for elegant dinners.

• The drawing room, an entertainer’s dream, is all grandeur—high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a second stately fireplace.

• The kitchen is a rustic delight, with butter-yellow cabinetry, a slate sink, and an original fireplace now home to a gas range.

And then there’s the Victorian staircase, a showpiece of its own, leading you to five beautifully appointed bedrooms, each drenched in natural light, with period fireplaces and stunning garden views.

It’s perfect.

The Great Outdoors: Gardens & Secret Spaces

Set on 1.75 acres of lush gardens, Treventon is a dream for lovers of wild, romantic landscapes. Here, you’ll find:

🌳 Woodland paths winding through the property

🌿 Verdant lawns & flower-filled borders changing with the seasons

🪴 A thriving vegetable garden & charming chicken coop for the aspiring homesteader

🎵 A secluded timber-framed music studio with a lofted sleeping area

🛁 A garden sauna for true countryside relaxation

There’s also a Victorian loggia running the length of the house, offering the perfect setting for long, candlelit summer suppers under the timber canopy.

The Location: Coastal Cornwall at Your Doorstep

While Treventon feels like a private retreat, it sits just minutes from Cornwall’s most iconic beaches—Watergate Bay, Mawgan Porth, and Padstow. Whether it’s surfing, coastal walks, or Michelin-starred dining, this location has it all.
