Set at the end of a long private driveway in a wonderfully secluded and idyllic setting, this substantial and beautifully crafted family home lies nestled between the highly sought-after villages of St Minver and Trelights. Completed in early 2023, the property is presented in immaculate, 'like new' condition and enjoys uninterrupted views across miles of unspoilt Cornish countryside.
Built to an exceptional standard, the house showcases timeless architectural detailing with a handsome double-fronted façade. Much of the exterior is clad in reclaimed Delabole slate, which also graces the striking slate roof—blending craftsmanship with enduring local character.
Inside the house, it offers nearly 4500 sq ft of light-filled and versatile living space, with a further 1100 sq ft within the extensive detached garage. A grand entrance hall, complete with a dramatic galleried landing, oversized grey porcelain floor tiles, and a bespoke timber and glass staircase, creates an immediate and memorable sense of arrival within the house.
The dual-aspect formal sitting room extends to over 28 feet and features a bay window to the front, French doors opening onto a side terrace, and a wood-burning stove is set within a bold statement fireplace. The porcelain tiles continue seamlessly throughout, enhancing the sense of space and continuity.
To the rear, the heart of the home is a spectacular 36-foot open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area—perfect for modern family living and entertaining. This beautifully appointed space features bespoke navy cabinetry, a contrasting off-white island, and a suite of high-spec appliances including an induction hob and integrated dishwasher. Bi-fold doors open onto a generous south-facing terrace and garden, perfectly framing the far-reaching countryside views and filling the space with natural light.
A spacious utility room, finished with matching cabinetry, offers ample space for laundry appliances, while a large walk-in larder provides excellent and convenient additional storage.
Also on the ground floor are a generous guest bedroom suite (bedroom five), a 17-foot study/snug, a cloakroom, and a plant room—all accessed from the main hallway.
Upstairs, four further spacious double bedrooms each enjoy stylish en suite facilities. The dual-aspect principal suite over 21 feet x 17 feet boasts a Juliet balcony with panoramic views, sliding doors open into a luxurious dressing room, and there is an elegant en suite bathroom with a bath and double shower. Bedroom two, also dual-aspect and over 20 feet x 17 feet, benefits from a similarly well-appointed en suite. Bedrooms three and four are very comfortable doubles, and each with their own en suite shower rooms.
The standard of finish throughout is exceptional, including Rationel windows, extensively tiled bathrooms, and a zoned wet underfloor heating system powered by a highly efficient air-source heat pump. The house is extremely well insulated, making it remarkably economical to run. It is also connected by fibre broadband, with Cat 6 Ethernet cabling installed to the principal rooms.
A long gravelled driveway provides a fitting approach, leading to a generous parking area in front of the house and detached garage, with ample space for multiple vehicles.
The detached triple garage is a substantial addition, incorporating a large ancillary room above—measuring approximately 500 sq ft and accessed via an external staircase. Equipped with power, water, drainage, and Velux roof windows, this versatile space offers superb potential for use as a home office, studio, or guest suite (subject to any necessary consents).
The gardens and grounds extend to around 0.75 acres, providing a wonderful sense of space and privacy. A broad terrace spans the rear of the house—perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining—while enjoying uninterrupted views across mile upon mile of peaceful open countryside. A large, level lawn wraps from the rear, around the side of the house, offering an ideal space and setting for families.
To the west of the house lies an additional 2.75-acre paddock, available by separate negotiation. This offers potential for recreational or equestrian use, further enhancing the property’s lifestyle appeal - contact us for further details.
