The image showcases a general view of the magnificent Grade II listed late 16th-century house that stands proudly amidst its idyllic countryside surroundings. Renowned photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures the essence of this historic architectural gem. The building itself is a testament to Cornish vernacular architecture, with its charming mullioned windows and farmhouse-style design. Its age-old walls seem to whisper tales of generations past, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This remarkable structure named Tretawn has witnessed centuries unfold before it.
