Description

ORCHARD HOUSE, LOVERING DRY, CHARLESTOWN - PL25 3GN

KLP are delighted to offer buyers the rare opportunity to acquire a building plot just c. 100m from the harbour at Charlestown, one of Cornwall's most sought after coastal locations. Detailed planning approval has been attained and a full building regulation package prepared for the construction of a striking new Georgian style villa, set in a private gated community known as 'The Nest' (a World Heritage Site and Conservation Area - the plot itself is outside of these areas). The new property is proposed with a spacious c. 230sqm (2476sqft) layout, blending traditional granite and slate with bold contemporary features. High ceilings run throughout, with reverse living to maximise the outlook. The design includes four generous double bedrooms, all en-suite, offering excellent comfort and privacy. Entering through the front door, a dramatic full-height space opens to a feature staircase and gallery landing, with sightlines rising to the first-floor vaulted ceiling and central roof lantern - flooding the heart of the home with natural light. Externally there will be parking for several cars along with a large, detached garage and gardens. This is a truly unique opportunity to create a landmark home in a historic coastal setting.

CHARLESTOWN

Charlestown, famous for its unique Grade II Listed harbour and tall ships is a charming Cornish coastal village steeped in maritime history.
