Description

EXCEPTIONAL CONTEMPORARY HOME WITH CIRCA 3,000 SQ FT OF STYLISH ACCOMMODATION, SET WITHIN THREE ACRES NEAR THE SOUTH CORNISH COAST, ENJOYING COUNTRYSIDE AND DISTANT SEA VIEWS, MOMENTS FROM PORTHLUNEY BEACH.

Description

Set within a glorious rural setting yet within easy reach of the south Cornish coastline, this exceptional contemporary residence offers beautifully presented accommodation extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft. Enjoying far reaching countryside views with views of the sea towards Nare Head and the Roseland Peninsula, the property occupies a privileged position just over 1.5 miles from the renowned Porthluney Beach at Caerhays. The house has been the subject of an extensive programme of enhancement and enlargement in recent years, resulting in a striking and highly versatile home of considerable quality. At its heart lies a truly outstanding open plan kitchen, dining and family space, an architectural centrepiece designed for modern living. This remarkable room is flooded with natural light, featuring a dramatic vaulted, sail like glazed roof and bi-folding doors to two elevations, seamlessly connecting the interior with the landscaped gardens beyond.

.

The kitchen itself is finished to an exacting standard, with polished granite work surfaces, a substantial central island, and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, all complemented by underfloor heating. This expansive living space provides an ideal environment for both everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale. Elsewhere, the accommodation is equally impressive, with four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each benefitting from en-suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms are further enhanced by dressing rooms, while the principal suite occupies the first floor and enjoys a private balcony with captivating views across the surrounding countryside and towards the coast. A spacious study or additional sitting room adjoins, offering flexibility of use. The ground floor layout offers scope for reconfiguration, with potential to create a self contained annexe if required, subject to any necessary consents.

Gardens & Grounds

The property is set within grounds extending to approximately 3 acres, comprising formal gardens, productive areas and two adjoining fields. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and include a well established kitchen garden with greenhouse and raised beds, along with a beautifully designed fire pit seating area, ideal for outdoor entertaining. A range of outbuildings further enhances the appeal of the property, including a substantial timber structure of a scale equivalent to approximately three double garages, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses, whether as a workshop, for vehicle storage, or possible equestrian purposes. Additional outbuildings and garaging provide further practical space.

.

Of particular note is the charming shepherd’s hut, discreetly positioned within its own garden area and currently operated as a successful holiday let, generating attractive seasonal income. This offers an appealing opportunity for those seeking to continue or expand a lifestyle business from the property. Combining contemporary design with an exceptional setting, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile home, perfectly suited to those seeking a balance of coastal proximity, rural tranquillity and modern living.

Location

Situated within the highly regarded rural setting, the property enjoys a convenient access to the charming villages of Gorran and Gorran Haven, both of which are renowned for their unspoilt character and strong sense of community. Gorran Haven, in particular, offers a picturesque sandy beach, traditional cottages and a quintessential Cornish coastal atmosphere. The area is ideally positioned for access to some of the county’s most celebrated attractions, including the internationally acclaimed The Lost Gardens of Heligan, with its beautifully restored gardens and woodland walks. The nearby coastline forms part of the stunning Roseland Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering exceptional opportunities for coastal walks, sailing and outdoor pursuits. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains within convenient reach of the wider amenities of St Austell and beyond, providing an ideal balance of seclusion and accessibility.
